GE Additive
Mr. Tatsuya Hongo
【Abstract】
As adoption of metal additive technology is being progress in the Japanese industry, we have been working to utilize the technology for the development and manufacture of aerospace engines since around 2010, and have strengthened our competitiveness. Currently, parts utilizing additive technology are in production and assembled into our aircraft engines. We are working to further expand the application area.
In this session, I would like to explain our effort for additive adoption over years and how the usage of digital technologies such as simulation contributes to the promotion of the technology adoption.
It is expected that more companies will use the technology in Japan. We hope that our experience will be of reference to everyone, and it will contribute additive adoption in Japan industries.

【Abstract】
After 3 decades of investing in printer technology, materials, post processing machines, and software, the time is now to look into how AM production facilities can be run more efficiently, be ready to scale up production, and to build AM factories. The next area of growth is that of workflow automation, i.e. automating all activity after printing, full track & trace of each individual 3D printed part from uploading the design to shipping the part to the customer. At this point in time, the post processing workflow is still dominated by manual labour, thus increasing the cost per part, creating inefficiencies, making mistakes and lengthening lead-times. AM-Flow offers a full solution stack for a fully automated AM workflow. This is presentation on how we move forward and scale the AM industry, automating AM-Factories,
to deliver affordable custom products and reduce the global carbon footprint
