Metal additive manufacturing (AM), also known as metal 3D printing, is a critical technology reshaping how the manufacturing industry thinks about production speed and quality.
Discover the Benefits of Large-Scale 3D Metal Printing with Baker Industries As the manufacturing industry evolves, metal additive manufacturing has emerged as a game-changer. Baker
Baker Industries, a Lincoln Electric Company, is primarily focused on small-batch machining and 3D printing for the aerospace, automotive, space, and defense industries. Thanks to
By 3D printing the mill fixture using ABS thermoplastic material instead of machining it from aluminum, Baker was able to reduce the tool’s weight by
Additive manufacturing has removed design barriers to enable the creation of geometries that were previously not possible and/or affordable through traditional manufacturing. This has unlocked
Not only did this ULTEM® alternative provide significant weight reduction, but it also enabled substantial time savings in production as well. The inserts were printed
The weight of the traditionally manufactured carbon fiber bar with aluminum ends would have required a mechanical lift provision such as hoist rings. By 3D
The newly designed hybrid tool stood up to the tight aerospace tolerances and as an added benefit reduced overall cost and timing.
FDM creates parts layer-by-layer with engineering-grade thermoplastics and is often used to build complex geometries and functional components, including prototypes, low-volume production pieces, manufacturing aids,
Cut Down the Pounds The Baker 3D Solutions test check fixture achieved a weight saving of almost 90% with ABS M-30 compared to 6061 Aluminum.
