3D printed composite tools save W
Markforged, US based manufacturers of metal and carbon fiber 3D printers, has announced that customer Wrtsil has made a breakthrough in deploying additive manufacturing in the marine and energy markets.
Wrtsil coque samsung galaxy a3 jean paul gaultier is a Finnish company with an estimated 19,000 employees, more than 200 offices and facilities in 80 countries worldwide. The enterprise posted 5.2 billion in sales for 2018. Eight months ago, Wrtsil made the switch to 3D printed composite tools after successfully working with Markforged’s carbon fiber 3D printers.
The coque huawei p 10 lite company both manufacturers and provides services to marine and energy markets, sectors where engines and associated components are usually very heavy. Traditionally, custom lifting tools are forged from solid steel a process that coque huawei l31 is time intensive, costly and results in tools that are cumbersome both to use prix coque samsung galaxy trend lite and transport.
The original Wrtsil lifting tool was machined out of solid steel and weighed 75% coque samsung galaxy transparente more than its 3D printed replacement. Photo via coque samsung galaxy coque telephone huawei p smart 2018 a5 2017 chat Markforged.
Wrtsil engineers used the Markforged Industrial Series X7 3D printer to create a tool capable of lifting the piston and cylinder of a Wrtsil 26 engine with a working load of 240kg. Markforged said, “The resulting new continuous carbon fiber part was 75% lighter than the coque samsung galaxy grand plus neo original steel version.”
The coque samsung s6 tete de mort 3D coque samsung galaxy j1 coque zelda huawei verte printed lifted tool developed by Wrtsil has been tested to a coque samsung galaxy trebd 960kg lifting capacity.

Giuseppe Sarag, Director, Manufacturing Excellence at Wrtsil, said “Additive manufacturing opens up new possibilities for both our manufacturing and servicing operations with tool creation that is faster, boulanger coque samsung a20e less costly, and safe. It also reduces the need for stock and allows just in time production processes,”
“This is an outstanding example of Wrtsil’s coque samsung galaxy s6 edge batman smart approach to manufacturing technologies and shows the potential that new technology can have to optimize our operations. We are always evaluating other coque samsung galaxy s6 om 3D printed applications, coque huawei p 10lite coque samsung galaxu s6 edge and have coque samsung s8 renforcer already seen plenty of benefits across our production floor.”
Prior to the introduction of 3D printing, Wrtsil coque samsung galaxy j3 lol would rely on third party suppliers to manufacturer lifting tools. Juho Raukola Innovation Expert (Additive Manufacturing) at Wrtsil, added, “The potential to cut costs is really significant. If you’re coque samsung galaxy gt i9000 going to save at least 1,000 Euros per tool, it’s a straight benefit.” The lifting tool has also been independently tested coque coque king huawei samsung g360f by international certification agency Bureau Veritas who has granted Type Approval CE certification.
