Hybrid Manufacturing – the combining of 3D Printing and traditional machining into a single machine creates a new, powerful tool that allows you to make parts in a way that was not available just a few years ago. This one hour workshop describes hybrid manufacturing, how it works, case studies of what you can do with it (what its good at and not so good at), and what it takes to get started in the technology. The workshop ends with a tour of CCAT’s Advanced Manufacturing Center’s additive lab where you can see our hybrid metal printer in action.
What Technologies are available, and is it time for my company to get started.
Metal 3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing is a broad spectrum of technologies that are quickly evolving into a viable and powerful manufacturing tool. This three hour workshop will introduce you to the main forms of metal additive, look at uses for each, and guide you through a decision matrix to decide which technology may be best suited for your particular application. We will also discuss current status of metal additive, what we’re hearing from industry and a detailed look at what it takes to get involved. This is an excellent tutorial for any company interested in exploring uses for the technology or considering adopting metal additive for themselves. The workshop ends with a tour of CCAT’s Advanced Manufacturing Center’s additive lab where you can see metal printers in action.
