A major topic in the 2018 Rapid + TCT is when to apply 3D printing technology to the manufacturing process. To this end, SME announced a partnership with Florida Tech, GM and other additive manufacturing industry users to create an Independent Technology Assessment Alliance (ITEAM) for additive manufacturing to help companies decide if they should use 3D printing technology.
ITEAM will create a web-based content and resource system that will help answer the following questions: Should the parts be produced in 3D printing? If so, what are the best equipment, materials and processes for 3D printed parts?
In addition, the Rapid + TCT 2018 3D printing exhibition has a lot of attention to the show.
Jabil is one of the world's largest contract manufacturers, and Jabil announced the addition of 12 new HP HP Jet Fusion 4210 industrial 3D printers to its network of production facilities in the US, China, Hungary, Mexico, Spain and Singapore. Jabil also built the Jabil AddiTIve Manufacturing Network, a software system that connects 3D printing networks to Jabil's SAP ERP system, MES applications and other back-end systems. And these 3D printers focus on printing production parts, not prototypes.
This makes Jabil not to keep inventory, but to print parts, clean parts, inspect parts, and ship them. Although the 3D printing network is only a small part of Jabil's $20 billion manufacturing business, it is growing very fast. 3D Science Valley understands that within three to five years, 3D printing will be an important part of Jabil's work.
Stratasys demonstrates a range of advanced solutions and software technologies at Rapid + TCT, including an enhanced Stratasys J750 3D printer with the new Stratasys J735 3D printer, new Jigs and Fixtures for GrabCAD Print software, and the new F900 production-grade 3D printer. The limits of application of 3D printing prototypes reduce the time and cost of manufacturing fixture components and increase the utilization of additive manufacturing in the production floor.
In the prototype production of 3D printing, the biggest challenge for designers and manufacturers is that the prototype cannot achieve the realism that certain operations must have. Stratasys' latest version of the enhanced Stratasys J750 3D printer and the new Stratasys J735 3D printer, with the support of GrabCAD Print software, are capable of producing high-fidelity, colorful parts at speeds 5-10 times faster than traditional methods. This will help shorten product development cycles and time to market, helping designers and engineers streamline workflows from design to prototyping, making prototyping more cost effective.
As a new software for improving Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions, Jigs and Fixtures for GrabCAD Print simplifies print preparation and automation. The software will improve the manufacturing process of manufacturing tools such as fixtures, and further improve the use of Stratasys industrial hardware and materials in tooling fixtures, making it popular in the workshop.
Stratasys is helping to transform additive manufacturing technology from a segmentation technology that is only suitable for prototyping and tooling to a true industrial additive manufacturing system. The latest release of a variety of 3D printers that are compatible with carbon fiber composites, supporting the production of tools such as molds, fixtures, fixtures and parts, will increase the use of additive manufacturing in the production floor. These new solutions include the new F900 production-grade 3D printer with carbon fiber Nylon 12 and the Fortus 380 nylon carbon fiber printer (listed in the second quarter to the third quarter).
The F900 production-grade 3D printer is the third generation of Stratasys' flagship FDM system, featuring MTConnect-ready interfaces with production-ready accuracy and repeatability. The F900 is built on the Fortus 900 MC platform, one of the most widely used systems in today's various additive manufacturing systems for high-end additive manufacturing. The F900 has three new solution families: the F900, the F900 AICS (Aircraft Interior Certification Solution) and the F900 PRO.
Not long ago, the National Center for Manufacturing Science (NCMS) and Moog signed a cooperation agreement to jointly fund research using Moog's VeriPart solution, a distributed trading system based on blockchain. A secure and traceable intelligent digital supply chain is built to provide the source of each part on a distributed network. With this system, all information on additive manufacturing parts can be synchronized to all phases of the product life cycle through blockchain technology. Each transaction of parts is recorded on a shared distributed account book, and the authorized party can authorize the transaction. Query and information traceability. The project will demonstrate Moog's VeriPart solution through the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, enabling the US Department of Defense to evaluate blockchain technology for mission-critical and legacy component additive manufacturing and digital data provisioning in a secure environment. The adaptability of the chain process.
This is obviously not an independent matter. A company called Link3D introduced how to introduce blockchains on Rapid + TCT. Link3D provides a platform for connecting systems and automating 3D printing workflows. Link3D has enabled automation to be introduced into industrial OEMs that are implementing additive manufacturing - companies like Ford, General Electric, Lockheed Martin and Honeywell.
Shane Fox, co-founder and CEO of Link3D, previously worked as the product lead for Autodesk Within Software. 3D Science Valley learned that Link3D introduced automation throughout the process by connecting hardware and software, which speeded up the manufacturing process. According to Shane Fox, the blockchain can be tracked, tracked and reviewed from the initial design to the entire cycle to ensure it is tamper-proof. This is important for large OEMs to be able to combat black market parts. Through the blockchain, parts, design parts, and manufacturing parts can be easily seen at any time in the loop, from the materials used – from metallurgy to material design, to production, post-processing, quality inspection, end-user rights – all of this information Can be traced back.
High Voltage Capacitor Charging Power Supplies
High Voltage Capacitor Charging is a mainstream application of high-current high-voltage power supplies. The High-voltage Capacitor Charging power supplies are a kind of high-voltage DC Power Supplies specially designed to meet the requirements of capacitor charging or capacitor conditioning.
At present, iDealTek-Electronics' high-voltage capacitor charging power supplies are IGBT-based switching mode High Voltage Power Supplies. Compared with the traditional linear high-voltage power supplies, the switched-type capacitor charging high-voltage power supplies are featured for higher power density, higher efficiency, higher output response speed and faster protection start and self-recovery speed.
iDealTek-Electronics originally produced linear capacitor charging high-voltage power supplies. Based on years of experience in the capacitor industry, our current capacitor charging high voltage power supplies use 19-inch standard racks, 4U and 6U chassis, which facilitate the installation of integrated capacitor charging systems. The output power ranges from 2KW to 10KW with output voltage levels at 5KV / 10KV / 20KV / 30KV / 35KV / 40KV / 50KV / 60KV / 100KV with a complete protection function, which can deal with overvoltage, overcurrent, load discharge and other situations.
The output voltage and current of the power supply can be controlled and read through the front operation panel of the power supply. And, this series of high voltage capacitor charging power supplies are also equipped with RS485 / DB15 / DB50 interfaces as standard. Customers can edit the control software according to our communication protocol or apply 0-10V signals and dry contact signals on the interface according to the definition of the analog interface to achieve full control and monitoring of the power supply, such as high voltage start/stop, output settings and readings.
