Part 3 – Calculating positioning errors for your AM printer Part 1-2 recap: The additive manufacturing (AM) consumer is very enthused. They can pay 500,000USD for a printer without having a tolerance spec sheet for the printer Subtractive Manufacturing (SM) needs to deal with part accuracy only while AM needs to deal with part accuracy…
Part 2 – Identifying the source for the errors and how they propagate Part 1 recap: The additive manufacturing (AM) consumer is very enthused. They can pay 500,000USD for a printer without having a tolerance spec sheet for the printer Subtractive Manufacturing (SM) needs to deal with part accuracy only while AM needs to deal…
As additive manufacturing moves towards production, standards covering all aspects of AM technology become necessary. Standards cover many aspects, such as process, feedstock, file structure, part quality, yield, and more. Over half a dozen l standard agencies defined AM standards for various vertical industries. The issue is with standards adaptation rather than with defining new…
