Dear DE Reader: Additive manufacturing (AM) has turned a corner. The long-sought goal of printing production parts in volume is becoming a reality. For metal AM specifically, the inability to analyze part structure during the manufacturing process has been a key factor limiting mainstream adoption. Thanks to a significant update, Sigma Labs now offers an independent solution for real-time structure…

As more companies use additive manufacturing (AM) processes to create end-use metal parts (not just prototypes), quality and scrappage issues associated with AM have become a bigger issue. Many 3D printing technologies have demonstrated high degrees of variability regarding consistent parts creation, and because design for AM skills are often in short supply at most companies, there is great trial…
