FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Uniformity Labs, a producer of engineered supplies for superior manufacturing, has partnered with revolutionary race automobile engine developer, Polimotor, and Incodema3D, a frontrunner in direct metallic 3D printing, to provide a Cam Tray engine element designed by Polimotor.
The Cam Tray element and related CAD recordsdata had been supplied by Matti Holtzberg, founder of Polimotor, for a joint case examine with Incodema3D to guage the throughput advantages of Uniformity powders and print parameters for this element. Incodema3D’s EOS M290 was used to construct the Cam Trays utilizing Uniformity Labs’ ultra-low porosity AlSi10Mg powder and optimized construct parameters.
Incodema3D printed two halves of the Cam Tray at 30um and 50um layers to validate the simulated construct occasions and show the elevated throughput benefits of Uniformity Labs’ powders and parameters with out compromising materials properties.
Here is a abstract of the findings and click on right here for the total case examine:
Uniformity executed construct occasions simulations utilizing Uniformity HPS settings at 30um & 50um to check with EOS 30um & 40um customary settings:
- Uniformity As-printed densities are 99.9% in comparison with EOS ≥99.8%
- Uniformity mechanical properties at 30um are superior to best-in-class 30um, and at 50um are comparable to best-in-class 40um
- Uniformity achieves lower than 4um Ra on as-printed vertical surfaces at 30um layer thickness and barely increased values at 50um layer thickness
- At the identical 30um layers, Incodema3D demonstrated a 181% enchancment in throughput vs. EOS typical powder and parameters with no compromise to materials properties, delivering a density of 99.9%+ on the high of the chain
- At 50um layers, Incodema3D demonstrated a 163% enchancment in throughput vs. EOS typical 40um construct time with no compromise to materials properties, delivering a mean density of 99.85%
“This is a strategically important case study because it shows the significant advantages of using our engineered materials for advanced manufacturing of critical components for use in the transportation industry,” stated Uniformity founder and CEO Adam Hopkins. “The results show that we can achieve faster, more cost-effective part production without compromising material properties.”
“Since we created the world’s first super light-weight polymer engine in 1980, manufacturing technologies have advanced to allow us to include 3D printed metal components along with the polymer components in the engine design,” stated Polimotor founder and innovator Matti Holtzberg. “The case examine we simply accomplished on the engine Cam Tray, with Uniformity’s superior aluminum alloy powder and print parameters, produced at Incodema3D, exhibits substantial advantages in manufacturing time, which could have a big influence on decreasing the associated fee to make these and different elements for our engine.”
“Along with the inherent benefits 3D printing provides in reducing weight and optimizing designs, the ability to reduce cost without compromise to material properties has significant implications not just for producing racing engines but for the global auto industry, which faces a growing demand for lighter, more fuel-efficient cars,” Holtzberg continued.
