Dyndrite, Constellium, Elementum 3D and Sandvik are setting up a materials consortium that aims to ensure a certain standardization in the field of LPBF 3D printing systems. The consortium makes standard parameter settings including the underlying test data publicly accessible.
“Materials are an important pillar of additive manufacturing,” says Harshil Goel, CEO of Dyndrite. However, making maximum use of the possibilities is still something of a black box. “If additive is to become a mainstream production process, users need transparency and standardization.” The Material Consortium wants to contribute to this.
Accelerate growth
Dyndrite has taken the initiative with the three material suppliers for laser powder bed metal printing to make data for standard materials more easily accessible. As a result, more knowledge will be shared, better results will be achieved and AM will be applied more quickly. The powder manufacturers see this as an opportunity to accelerate the growth of the AM market in metal printing. “This effort is intended to grow our industry by giving innovators a strong advantage in realizing their innovations,” said Jeremy Iten, Chief Technology Officer of Elementum 3D.

New software
Initiator Dyndrite has recently new software launched for material and process development. Users can optimize laser and material parameters to account for difficult-to-print features such as overhangs, domes, cantilevers and thin walls, or to increase throughput speed. Dyndrite’s tools simplify and accelerate the development of material parameters for 3D printers from Aconity3D, EOS, Renishaw, SLM Solutions and more manufacturers. The consortium is open to other material suppliers who want to join.
