Innovation of Molding by Additive Manufacturing , leading mold company’s challenge
Explain our additive technology and experience for mold application. In addition Nihon Seiki Corporation, leading mold company using our machine will explain their additive manufacturing experience utilizing SKD61 material. Progress of additive technology for mold application and it’s added value for molding application will be explained.
M2 Series 5
The M2 Series 5 is supporting customers with very high expectations regarding part quality and consistency, as well as process validation to unlock new possibilities in production. It is ideal for industries that require safety-relevant parts, such as aerospace and medical. This also helps to drive best-in-class productivity for lower overall cost.
M Line
The M Line offers a modular machine architecture that enables practical, economical serial production on an industrial scale.
The modular machine technology concept physically decouples the Laser Processing System (LPS) and the Material Handling Station (MHS) units used for upstream and downstream stages of the production process and part production.
Spectra H
With Spectra H’s high-heat capability, users can incorporate new alloys into production to expand their offerings, including high-temperature, crack-prone materials. The Spectra H has the capability to produce parts at temperatures exceeding 1,000 °C. The machine’s enhanced capacity is opening up new opportunities to produce high-integrity parts larger and faster than ever before. As part of a system that simplifies operation and maximizes output, Spectra H is the evolution that's helping the industry take the next step forward.
Binder Jet
GE's Binder Jet Line gives you a complete, configurable ecosystem of production hardware and software to bring an application from concept to production. With the assistance of GE’s AddWorks consultant engineers, you can now industrialize your metal additive production in less time and less cost than going it alone. We bring deep materials knowledge and process pedigree to work with you to accelerate implementation of additive production in your area of expertise. We want to work closely with you to ensure alignment of expectations and requirements for both applications and factory floor production in your industry.
Spectra L
The Spectra L machine offers increased productivity and reduces cost per part by up to 20%*. Due to an increased beam power to 4.5 kW and enhancements in the beam control, the build speed is increased by up to 30%*, compared to previous Arcam EBM machines.
The Spectra L allows for mass production of parts by offering the unique EBM feature to tightly stack parts without compromising on quality. Electron Beam Melting (EBM) technology provides you with design freedom and allows you to build free-floating parts in sintered powder. Any supports are primarily used for heat equalization and are easily removed when the build is finished.
Amp
Our Amp software platform leverages the knowledge of experts at GE Additive, GE Aviation and GE Global Research.
We have taken best practices, learning and know-how from actual applications and incorporated them directly into our
software solution. Additive users can now move toward industrialization with a repeatable, consistent and streamlined
process to scale and transform their business

【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

【Abstract】
Premium AEROTEC and GE Additive have been partnering on the serial production of titanium parts for the aerospace industry for over five years now. Until recently, only parts that were built with a single laser per part on GE Additive's Concept Laser M2 were able to be qualified for aerospace. This limitation affected the productivity of the machines and technology. The stitching zones of the different lasers were the critical piece in the qualification. Together, we reached a major milestone with the validation of a part that was produced in line with the process qualification requirements with two corresponding lasers. Overcoming this challenge will allow a major productivity increase.
Join this webinar to learn from Dr. Bielefeld, Head of Additive Manufacturing at Premium AEROTEC, and Udo Burggraf, Senior Global and Key Account Director Aerospace at GE Additive, about the process to get to this validation and get a look into the future collaboration of the two companies.
