January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
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.
SPEE3D, a metal additive manufacturing company, announced it is working with New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) to bring cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) technology to its facility. The school has acquired the WarpSPEE3D printer, installed at NJII’s Advanced Manufacturing facility, offering training for students and the military to quickly print large-scale metal parts on demand through its Collaborative Operationalized Manufacturing Engineering Training (COMET) initiative.
NJII chose the WarpSPEE3D printer to help address research manufacturing and industry supply chain needs, emphasizing workforce development training. The WarpSPEE3D is a large-format metal 3D printer that uses SPEE3D technology. It builds parts up to 40 kg (88 lbs.) with a diameter up to 1x0.7 m or 40x30-in. in hours versus days. This rapid speed transforms metal printing from prototyping into a large-scale, on-demand manufacturing solution, the company says.
“NJII’s Advanced Manufacturing facility was established to build a strong manufacturing workforce by providing hands-on experience with the latest equipment—including additive manufacturing technologies,” says Sam Gatley, director of Operations, NJII COMET Initiative. “We are evaluating the newest equipment for its potential capabilities in ideal settings such as NJII and remote locations where the military has pressing demands. The addition of the WarpSPEE3D printer will help accelerate these goals.”
Within NJII, the Advanced Manufacturing Facility located at 360 Landing is a 20,000-sq.-ft. advanced manufacturing workforce development center focused on ensuring the opportunities to improve national security and readiness presented by advanced manufacturing become reality.
“SPEE3D has been fortunate to partner with some of the leading academic institutions worldwide, and we’re excited to partner with the New Jersey Innovation Institute and their COMET initiative to bring our Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing technology to both students and the local military,” says Byron Kennedy, CEO of SPEE3D. “The partnership will allow them to bolster their manufacturing needs with the ability to print large-scale parts quickly that would otherwise not be available.”
