Post by 3D ADEPT (3DA)

🗣️ The May/June edition of 3D ADEPT Mag is out! 🚨 Rather than navigating around the rumor that additive manufacturing in the automotive industry was slowing down, we did our homework: reporting, analyzing and talking to people directly on the frontlines. What we realized (and this beyond the automotive sector), from BMW Group to Vestas and Vår Energi, is that there's a deliberate strategy behind every step these players take. So, what they called a "slowdown" was probably AM users becoming more selective and disciplined. Read on, and decide for yourself. ✨ Exclusive features ✨ ✔️ Business | Over one year after the implementation of tariff measures, how have companies adjusted? With insights from Velo3D' Michelle Sidwell, Lockheed Martin and Protolabs' Ryan Kees. ✔️ Focus | How LCM enabled a monolithic ceramic gyroid that delivers five times the power-to-weight ratio of conventional solid oxide fuel cells A conversation with Johannes Homa, CEO & founder of Lithoz, on what makes these SOFCs so compelling. ✔️ Focus | Fewer parts, more complexity: Why depowdering is emerging as a key enabler in electric vehicles' manufacturing Inside the nexAMo project, led by ZF Friedrichshafen AG ( Ignacio Lobo Casanova) with Solukon Maschinenbau GmbH (Andreas Hartmann) as a key technology partner. ✔️ Focus | How do you qualify large-format AM parts in industrial environments? The case of LSAM Thermwood Corporation's Scott Vaal warns against assuming tooling gets an easier pass than flight parts. ✔️ Software | Understanding scalable simulation and optimization for production metal AM PanX and its novel Multi-Grid Modeling methodology, rethinking how FEA meshes are generated and how the thermomechanical problem is solved. ✔️ AM Shapers | Inside BMW Group's additive manufacturing reality January 2025, Jens Ertel passed the torch to Timo Goebel. We waited a year for this conversation and it was worth it.   ✔️ AM Shapers, powered by Formnext - Where ideas take shape: - "Print what's suitable": Inside Vår Energi's additive manufacturing strategy (with Trine Boyer) - Jeremy Haight on Vestas's AM strategy: "We don't want AM to be one of those buzzwords." ✔️ Industry voices on post-processing of polymer 3D printed parts Weerg (@Alessandro Tenderini), Tenco DDM (Daniel Hoogstraate), AMT PostPro ( Giorgio Ioannides)   ACCESS the mag 👉 : https://lnkd.in/enb_d-E5
