Additive Manufacturing Expands with New US Services
3D printer OEM Stratasys, in partnership with US industrial robotics and automation integrator Automation Intelligence (AI), has opened the North American Stratasys Tooling Middle (NASTC) at AI’s manufacturing web site in Flint, Michigan. The power is designed to offer producers entry to AM applied sciences, resembling Stratasys’ F3300 and F900 fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers to validate and increase real-world functions of 3D printing inside manufacturing settings.
“With the launch of the NASTC, we’re addressing real-world challenges at this new heart. This incubator for superior manufacturing is designed to allow groups to iterate, validate and scale tooling functions – quickly. It units the stage designing options to fulfill the rising demand for localized, on-demand manufacturing options worldwide,” mentioned mentioned Fadi Abro, Director of World Automotive & Mobility at Stratasys.
NASTC offers direct entry to engineering experience and focuses on creating manufacturing tooling, together with jigs, fixtures, end-of-arm tooling, and North American Automotive Metric Requirements (NAAMS) blocks. The power permits automotive and industrial producers to discover how AM can improve effectivity, decrease prices, and improve agility in assembly manufacturing calls for. Guests can watch reside demonstrations of Stratasys 3D printers, obtain help throughout excursions, and browse a curated show of pattern elements.
Titomic Restricted, an Australian firm specializing in chilly spray AM, has additionally expanded its presence with the opening of a brand new U.S. headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama. Inaugurated on June 2, the 59,000 sq. ft. facility will function the corporate’s world base for each business and protection operations.
The Huntsville facility is supplied to provide crucial elements resembling titanium strain vessels, domes, launcher coatings, and space-grade shielding. These capabilities align with strategic targets set by the US Division of Protection (DoD), together with enhancing provide chain resilience, enabling fast sustainment, and enhancing operational readiness.
“The power for the Huntsville facility to have the ability to produce machines and merchandise for our clients offers us with the flexibility to fulfill a wide range of necessities to help our clients,” mentioned Dr. Patti Dare, President of Titomic USA.
Past manufacturing, the power additionally serves as a regional coaching and buyer help heart. It hosts reside demonstrations of Titomic’s product choices, together with the TKF1000, D523, D623, and ISB programs, and is the unique manufacturing web site for the total vary of TKF merchandise.
Titomic credited monetary help as key to its U.S. growth, with First Nationwide Financial institution helping in facility critiques and Innovate Alabama offering over $12 million in mortgage ensures by way of the Treasury’s SSBCI program.
Be part of our Additive Manufacturing Benefit (AMAA) occasion on July tenth, the place AM leaders from Aerospace, House, and Protection come collectively to share mission-critical insights. On-line and free to attend. Safe your spot now.
