3D Systems & Oerlikon Enter Collaboration Agreement to Scale, Accelerate Metal Additive Manufacturing
11 Julho 2023 - 9:30AM
Today, 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) and Oerlikon AM announced the
companies have entered a collaboration agreement to further scale
metal additive manufacturing. Combining both organizations’ deep
process and applications expertise with 3D Systems’ Direct Metal
Printing platform and Oerlikon AM’s surface engineering
capabilities will enable a faster path to market for applications
in high-criticality industries such as semiconductor and aerospace.
As part of this agreement, Oerlikon AM is acquiring its fourth 3D
Systems DMP Factory 500 system, the first Oerlikon AM is adding in
the U.S., to be part of the manufacturing workflow in its North
Carolina facility. This will help expand Oerlikon’s end-to-end
supply chain solution for high-precision, complex aluminum
components for the U.S. market.
3D Systems’ Application Innovation
Group (AIG) collaborated with Oerlikon AM’s Application
Engineering to develop this solution. Both teams possess deep
expertise not only in additive manufacturing but in high-value
applications across a variety of industries. Their combined
experience with the laser powder bed fusion process and material
and process qualification is invaluable to the production of
high-criticality parts with lower lifecycle costs. 3D Systems’
industry-leading direct metal printing (DMP) technology and
Oerlikon’s AM production and surface engineering capabilities will
result in a validated, certified production process for Oerlikon’s
customers. This workflow includes the DMP Factory 500, an
industry-leading platform featuring a vacuum chamber to ensure the
lowest O2 content, and a 3-laser configuration for the
production of seamless large parts as large as 500mm x 500mm x
500mm. This results in the highest surface quality for metal
3D-printed parts with outstanding material properties.
“The adoption of Additive Manufacturing technology
for series production occurs at an ever-increasing pace. For our
customers to remain competitive in core technology markets
(including semicon and aerospace), scale up to series production is
dependent upon the successful execution of application development,
qualification, and timely ramp up to full-scale production,” stated
Jonathan Cornelus, business development manager, Oerlikon AM. “With
Oerlikon and 3DSystems joining forces, this partnership will
accelerate the industrialization of metal AM through an integrated
team approach between the customer, printer OEM, and manufacturing
partner. The efficiency gains will maximize the benefits of
additive manufacturing across design, materials, printing, and
post-processing to break performance barriers in the manufacturing
supply chain.”
“Industries such as aerospace and semiconductor
manufacturing require precision without compromise,” said Scott
Green, solutions leader, 3D Systems. “Companies focusing on these
areas require constant innovation to meet the accuracy, speed,
reliability, and productivity demands of increasingly complex
production. Bringing together the industry-leading technology and
applications expertise of 3D Systems and Oerlikon AM is delivering
increased quality, improved total cost of ownership, reduced
time to market, and minimized supply chain disruption. I’m looking
forward to seeing how our collaboration can amplify and accelerate
the potential of metal AM.”
3D Systems and Oerlikon AM will both participate in
SEMICON West, July 11-13, 2023 at the Moscone Center in San
Francisco, California. Attendees interested in learning more about
this solution can visit the companies in their respective booths —
3D Systems booth #260 and Oerlikon AM booth #5471.
