Traditionally focused on gantry-style printers for crafting sizable components, AES has recently launched its inaugural additive manufacturing robot.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Stationed in Akron, Ohio, AES has earned acclaim for its production of vast composite structures, measuring up to 12 \u00d7 6 feet. These units have allowed AES to effectively create layup and process tooling, forming and assembly tools, as well as precast concrete tooling and substantial production parts. The new robotic addition is designed to boost AES&#8217;s production flexibility and address complex shapes that are beyond the reach of traditional gantry systems.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Austin Schmidt, a co-owner at AES, notes that the company has been evaluating more adaptable AM technologies for some time, often declining projects when restricted by three-axis gantry systems. The recent collaboration with CEAD (based in Delft, Netherlands and Detroit, Mich., USA), allows AES to showcase CEAD&#8217;s advancements as their North American demonstration location. This partnership, enriched by software from Adaxis, pioneers novel opportunities for multiplanar 3D printing, facilitating more intricate and diverse construction possibilities.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>One of the clearly observed benefits of using the robot was evident during its setup phase. While the deployment of a sizable gantry machine could occupy a team of three for anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks based on complexity and dimensions, the robotic AM system was installed in just three days. This substantial reduction in setup time also enhances flexibility. Unlike the stationary and encapsulated gantry machines, the robot can be effortlessly moved around within AES\u2019s facility, making it a more versatile asset for production.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compositesworld.com\/articles\/robot-vs-gantry-for-large-format-additive-manufacturing-(includes-video)-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">compositesworld.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Incus GmbH, a company based in Vienna, successfully used additive manufacturing to produce a crucial component for a ceremonial mace conceptualized by Jacob Eldred, a Yale University alumnus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) remains a critical technique in industries that demand high levels of precision and material integrity, including medical implants and aerospace sectors.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Exploring how materials perform under extreme conditions is crucial for high-risk industries.
