  • 3D Printing: Hype Or Game Changer?
    3D printing: hype or game changer? A Global EY Report 2019 What is additive manufacturing? Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing (3DP), is a digital manufacturing process that involves slicing three-dimensional digital designs into layers and then producing additively, layer by layer, using AM systems and various materials. Table of contents 04 Foreword 05 Key findings 06 About this study 08 3DP moves into the operational mainstream 14 From the lab to the shop window: AM serial production takes off 22 Choosing the right 3DP operating model 28 Growing up with AM 32 How AM can give businesses a competitive edge 36 The evolution of 3DP technologies and materials 40 What holds companies back from adopting 3DP? 44 AM trends, developments and challenges 50 M&A activity in the 3DP market 58 What’s next for AM? 60 How EY teams support companies on their 3DP journey 63 Authors 3D printing: hype or game changer? A Global EY Report 2019 | 3 Foreword In the three years since EY published first 3DP report, additive manufacturing (AM) has grown up. The technology has attracted such exposure that almost two- thirds (65%) of the businesses we surveyed this year have now tried the technology — up from 24% in 2016. Any early skepticism that predictions of 3DP’s transformative potential were just hype have been laid to rest. AM has joined the armory of production technologies, with 18% of companies already using it to make end- use products for customers and consumers. This means that the crucial “early majority” — whose buy-in is essential to the success of any new technology — have been won over.

  • Ceramic Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing: a Literature Review on Density
    Ceramic Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing: A Literature Review on Density Wenchao Dua, Xiaorui Renb, Zhijian Peia, Chao Maa,b,c,* a Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX b Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX c Department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX *[email protected] Abstract The objective of this review paper is to summarize the current status and identify the knowledge gaps in ceramic binder jetting additive manufacturing, in a particular focus on density. This paper begins with an overview of the process, material considerations, and process parameters. It then discusses different aspects of density, including various terminologies, measurement methods, and achieved values. Afterwards, it reviews two categories of techniques to increase the part density: material preparation techniques (powder granulation, mixing powders of different sizes, using slurry feedstock, and mixing different materials) and post-processing techniques (sintering, chemical reaction, infiltration, and isostatic pressing). Finally, it presents the knowledge gaps in the literature. 1 Introduction Ceramic materials can have outstanding properties, such as extraordinary hardness, excellent resistance to wear, heat, and corrosion, and exceptional biocompatibility. Therefore, ceramic materials have a wide range of applications, from orthopaedic and dental implants in the biomedical industry to engine components in the aerospace and automotive industries. However, 1 it is very costly to fabricate ceramic parts of complex shapes using conventional manufacturing techniques. For complex ceramic parts, tooling can contribute up to 80% of the overall cost if conventional techniques are used [1]. Conventional techniques have other disadvantages including excessive cost in prototyping and difficulty to make design changes.

  • Transforming a Rapid Prototyping Course to an Additive Manufacturing Course
    Transforming a Rapid Prototyping Course to an Additive Manufacturing Course Ranjeet Agarwala and Robert A. Chin Department of Technology Systems East Carolina University Abstract The additive manufacturing industry continues to evolve with the advent of new and different materials and machines and the implementation of Industry 4.0. The transformation of a technology program’s rapid prototyping course to an additive manufacturing course occurred recently. The technology program also adopted Industry 4.0 as a framework for all its degree program and is developing an advanced manufacturing lab. The role and history of the course and its associated lab, its evolutionary history of the laboratory component as it relates to instruction and planning for additional additive manufacturing laboratory capacity is discussed. The addition of metal 3D printers to supplement current capabilities in plastic printing is also discussed. Introduction and Background Engineering and technology programs realize the benefits of additive manufacturing course. Bernard, Thompson, Moroni, Vaneker, Pei, and Barlier (2019) suggest that “Additive Manufacturing (AM) enables designers to consider the benefits of digital manufacturing from the early stages of design”. Sheladiya and Sheladiya (2019) suggest that additive manufacturing is considered vital to the Industry 4.0 movement. They remarked that “In the current era, the use of modern skills of Additive Manufacturing within the context of information technology integration plays a significant role in industrial economic competitiveness”. Alabi, Beer, and Wichers (2019) discussed the effect of promotion of additive manufacturing in South African universities. They quoted that “AM research activities within South Africa’s universities have shown that it is not too late for developing countries to start and embrace AM technologies both in academia and industry.
