In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Optomec has delivered its 600th industrial 3D printer. The company has now installed more than 250 of its LENS Systems for 3D printed metal and over 350 of its Aerosol Jet Systems, with the majority of its recent machines being used for high return-on-investment production applications.
“Our team is delighted, and frankly proud, to reach this latest significant milestone that reinforces our leadership position in the markets we serve,” says Dave Ramahi, Optomec CEO, “As rewarding as the 600 machine figure is, what’s most encouraging is that it reflects customers confidence in our solutions’ ability to meet their production needs, often having gone through rigorous qualification and regulatory protocols that are a barrier to our competitors.”
Optomec’s solutions have been adopted across all industrial sectors, including aerospace, energy, electronics, life sciences and Defense. These systems enable cost-effective development, production, and repair of a wide range of end-products, from aircraft engine and industrial tooling, to smartphones and glucose monitors. Optomec’s LENSTM DED and Aerosol Jet Equipment solutions are enhanced by a suite of digital products, including toolpath, vision, pattern recognition, scanning and process control software, as well as process recipes and printable component libraries. Additionally, Optomec offers automation solutions to enable series and batch production.
Optomec is showcasing its latest DED machine, the CS250 live at the RAPID + TCT Exhibition in Detroit, May 17-19, booth #3610. The CS250 is a DED machine specifically designed to process high-volume reactive metals such as titanium.
