Additive Manufacturing and You
- 1. Additive Manufacturing and You A quick look at 3D-Printing Solutions for your hardware business. By Joseph Petsinger
- 2. Intro to Additive Manufacturing • Typically consists of melting and/or hardening of material in a multi-layer fashion. • Multiple 2-D “Slices” • Variable in Scale
- 3. Overview of Benefits • Rapid Prototyping (1/3 time of conventional means) • Near 100% material usage (Near 0% waste or recycled material) • [Little to] No tooling cost • No chemicals • Density control (efficient use of materials) • Hybrid Materials • Etc. for more specific jobs
- 4. Current Applications Engines • SpaceX SuperDraco Engine • “Through 3D printing, robust and high- performing engine parts can be created at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional manufacturing methods.” –SpaceX CEO • Expanded life due to variable strength properties • Rolls Royce Trent XWB • 12% Fuel Savings (10% Avg.) • No tooling costs or wasted material • [Profits rose 24% year of announcement] • General Electric LEAP • 15% Fuel Savings
- 5. Current Applications Cont. • Consumer [Simulated] Experience • Coca~Cola “Mini-Me” • Star Wars “D-tech weekends” • Consumer-Marketer Interaction • Printing promotional products • Anyone with access to 3-D Printer • UPS Printers Marketing
- 6. Untapped Potential • Materials • Microlattices • Less Material, More Strength; Lower Cost, Higher Price • Can carry 160,000 times their own weight (Density Control) • Negative Refractive Index Metamaterials • Ex: Delivery Drone (Radiowaves) • Less Power, Longer Operating Time, Fewer Units, Lower Costs • FF: Used to observe relativity & invisibility
- 7. Untapped Potential Cont. Manufacturing • Injection Molding • Hot Runner System • Less Labor, Shorter Cycle Time, Lower Cost, Higher Price • Assembly Line • Multi-Nozzle/Material solution • Variable Density • Less Labor, More Time, Less Waste, Higher Price
- 8. Additive Manufacturing and You Truck Hood Latch/Clamp • $8-$45 + Shipping (depending on make and model) • Cp = mp(Cs/ms) • Less than 6 cubic inches: $7.92 • Same-day delivery • Might be more cost efficient if you recommend to your mechanic.
- 9. Additive Manufacturing and You Medical Syringe Pumps • Traditional Pump: $260-$1,509 • 3D-Printed Pump: $97-$154 • Open-Source • “Scientists can customize the design of a pump to exactly what they are doing, just by changing a couple of numbers in the software.”
- 10. How to Start Buying a Printer • Professional Desktop/Prototyping: About $2500+ • MakerBot • Robo 3D • [Other Crowdfunding Sources] • Industrial Manufacturing: Millions of Dollars • Stratysys (Merger) • Objet Using a Service • One-Time Small Parts/Prototyping • MakeXYZ (Network) • UPS (Lisle, IL) • Crucial Quality Components • GPI Inc. (Lake Bluff, IL)
