Digitizing the supply chain requires new tools, including hardware and software capabilities that support hybrid production approaches with conventional and additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. ElemX is now taking on supply chain resiliency by simplifying the process and helping engineers identify AM ready parts within your inventory.

Powered by liquid metal jetting (LMJ), the ElemX metal 3D printer uses inexpensive aluminum wire feedstock and can deposit up to 400 droplets per second. The use of wire rather than metal powders improves operator safety, reduces special facility and PPE requirements, and eliminates the need to recycle powder.

The advantages of metal additive manufacturing continue to evolve and this presentation will also touch on design of geometrically complex AM parts that are easier to finish machining, applications related to conformal cooling and engineered lattice structures for light weighting, heat transfer and energy absorption.

Agenda:

  • Examine the current use cases of aluminum alloy 3D printing from the early adopters of the ElemX since its release
  • Explore an office-friendly, industrial metal 3D printing technology
  • Discover how 4008 AI (A356) is impacting several different industries and applications
