GE Additive: Revolutionizing the Future of Manufacturing
GE Additive is a leading provider of additive manufacturing solutions, offering a wide range of industrial 3D printers, materials, and software to help businesses transform their production processes. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, GE Additive is committed to driving the future of manufacturing by providing cutting-edge technology that enables businesses to create complex parts with precision and speed.
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the way products are designed and manufactured. Unlike traditional subtractive methods that involve cutting away material from a larger block or sheet, additive manufacturing builds up layers of material to create complex shapes and structures. This process not only reduces waste but also allows for greater design flexibility and customization.
At GE Additive, we offer a range of industrial 3D printers that cater to different needs. Our machines are designed for high-volume production as well as prototyping applications. We have machines that can print in metal alloys such as titanium, aluminum, cobalt-chrome and nickel alloys; plastics such as nylon; ceramics; sand molds for casting; among others.
Our flagship product is the Concept Laser M2 Series 5 machine which offers high-quality metal printing capabilities with its dual laser system capable of producing parts at speeds up to 1 meter per second while maintaining accuracy down to tens-of-microns in layer thicknesses.
In addition to our hardware offerings we provide software solutions like our proprietary build preparation software called "PreForm" which helps users prepare their designs for printing by optimizing support structures placement while minimizing material usage thus reducing costs.
We also offer consulting services where our experts work closely with clients throughout every stage of their project from design through post-processing ensuring they get optimal results from their investment in additive manufacturing technology.
One area where GE Additive excels is in materials development. We have developed an extensive library of metal powders specifically formulated for use in our machines including titanium aluminide (TiAl), Inconel® alloy 718 (IN718), cobalt-chrome (CoCr) among others which ensures consistent quality across all prints regardless if it's one part or thousands produced over time.
Our commitment towards sustainability extends beyond just developing eco-friendly products but also includes recycling programs aimed at reducing waste generated during production processes by reusing scrap materials wherever possible thus reducing environmental impact while saving costs on raw materials procurement.
In conclusion,
GE Additive has established itself as an industry leader when it comes to providing innovative solutions for additive manufacturing needs across various industries including aerospace & defense , automotive , medical devices , oil & gas among others . With its state-of-the-art equipment coupled with expert consulting services backed by years' worth experience working alongside clients worldwide - there's no doubt why so many companies trust us when it comes time invest into this exciting new field!
