Giesserei Blöcher GmbH is now expanding its portfolio by commissioning a new 3D sand printer. This additive manufacturing system enables the company to produce ready-to-use and geometrically complex casting molds in record time.
Altair provided EDAG Group with software at no charge for the development of a novel, crash-resistant aluminum alloy within the scope of a research project supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Post-processing is often forgotten when purchasing a machine for additive manufacturing. But it is an important process and by no means negligible. It is carried out in several steps, manually or semi-automatically.
