The EOS printer was delivered in June 2017, and ITAMCO was shipping components to a medical device supplier in August. **Content:** ITAMCO (Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies) is delivering components, made with its new EOS M 290 additive manufacturing printer, to the medical device industry. The EOS printer was delivered in June 2017, and ITAMCO was shipping components to a medical device supplier in August. The fast ramp up is partially due to the experience the ITAMCO team gained while contributing to the development of additive manufacturing software. They were part of a consortium of manufacturers and universities that collaborated to develop the program through a multi-million dollar manufacturing initiative called “America Makes.” The software, named Atlas 3D, is now marketed through a division of ITAMCO. ## ITAMCO, EOS Partnership Another reason for ITAMCO’s efficient entry into additive manufacturing was EOS. “The EOS printer is the right tool for our complex components made with DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) and the EOS team trained our staff and got us up and running quickly,” said Joel Neidig, director of Research and Development for ITAMCO. “The printer works seamlessly with Atlas 3D too.” In addition, the technology team at ITAMCO built a good working relationship with the EOS sales and support team. Jon Walker, area sales manager with EOS North America, said, “ITAMCO is an ideal partner for EOS because three generations of ITAMCO leaders have supplied traditional subtractive manufactured parts to some of the best known organizations in the world. ITAMCO’s investment in additive manufacturing validates the 3D printing market, especially in highly regulated industries where testing and validation of components or devices is critical. We’re thrilled that they have invested in an EOS M 290 3D printing platform, smartly positioning themselves to become an additive manufacturing leader in robust medical and industrial markets for the next three generations and beyond.” ## Servicing Medical Device Industry The medical device industry is a relatively new market for the company that has serviced heavy-duty industries for decades. “Additive manufacturing is allowing us to do things we’ve not done before, like producing the smaller, more intricate components for the medical device industry,” said Neidig. Given ITAMCO’s capabilities and their close proximity to numerous medical implant manufacturers in Indiana, the entry into this industry is a logical move. “We’ve hired two people from medical device companies to work for us,” said Neidig. “We will continue to expand our presence in our current markets by offering additive manufacturing and the high-quality subtractive manufacturing that made us so successful.” ITAMCO has been on track to include additive manufacturing in its offerings since the launch of the “Strategic Technology Initiative for Additive Manufacturing” in 2015. ITAMCO is using additive manufacturing to expand its market position in a global economy and to deliver real benefits to customers. Benefits include a faster turnaround, lighter yet stronger components, lower prices, design freedom, product customization, and reasonably priced small-batch production.

Runway mats are a critical component of Expeditionary Airfields (EAFs). **Content:** Plymouth, Indiana. May 20, 2019. ITAMCO (Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies) is part of a team developing a new runway mat for the United States Air Force. Runway mats are a critical component of Expeditionary Airfields (EAFs). EAFs are portable airfields that can be constructed, used, broken down after the completion of a mission, and moved to another site for re-use. These portable airfield mats must be easy to install and store, yet capable of withstanding the stresses of repeated take-offs and landings of aircraft and the impact from arresting hooks. The portable runway surface most used today is made with an aluminum plank matting called AM-2. AM-2 matting has served the United States military well since the Vietnam War, but the materials and technology in the ITAMCO-led research project will offer many benefits over AM-2 matting. ![Marines from Marine Corps Air Station, Expeditionary Airfields, Marine Wing Support Squadron 274 put down AM-2 matting on the Delta taxiway at Quantico’s Marine Corps Air Facility.

Scott Hartford, Project Manager at ITAMCO is working on the project with Professor Pablo Zavattieri in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University. The proposed technology solution is comprised of an upper surface that mates with a lower surface and contains Phase Transforming Cellular Matrix (PXCM) geometry to mitigate anticipated loading and shear stresses. What is PXCM? In the simplest terms, products made with PXCM geometry have the ability to change from one stable configuration to another stable configuration and back again. According to an article by Nadia Aljabi in the Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research, the novelty and benefits of PXCM are that they can absorb important amounts of energy and yet be reusable since the phase transformation is entirely reversible without inducing permanent deformation into the base material. This means the new runway mat can “heal” itself, resulting in a much longer lifespan than a runway made with AM-2 matting. Additional benefits of the new runway material include: - The PXCM solution is targeted to weigh 3.5 lb. per sq. ft. or less. It can be laid by hand over a level surface of the appropriate density. - Debris on the runway will not hamper the runway’s performance. It will support flight operations of 5,000 landing and takeoff cycles over 60 days. ## The 3D Printing of the Runway Materials The construction of the proposed runway mat is as innovative as its use of PXCM geometry—the prototypes of the mat will be made on ITAMCO’s EOS M290 additive manufacturing printer. The 3D printing method will be a collaboration between an innovative metal powder called StainlessSteel 316L VPro and the unique additive manufacturing capabilities of the EOS M290 printer. This union between product and printer will reduce production time by 70 percent and cost by up to 50 percent. “EOS StainlessSteel 316L VPro is a highly productive material that was born from our collaborate development effort with GKN. Applications using 316L VPro, combined with highly proven EOS metal 3D printing technologies, result in accelerated production with lower production costs,” said Patrick Boyd, Marketing Director, EOS North America. “We’re excited that ITAMCO has partnered with EOS in ITAMCO’s endeavors to create forward-thinking solutions. They are not afraid to engineer then employ extraordinary solutions where no solution previously existed.” Pushing boundaries with innovative materials and state-of-the-art printers does not guarantee build success; however, so the ITAMCO team is using Sunata™ from Atlas 3D to optimally orient and support the PXCM geometry. “The additive markets continue to evolve with new materials and unique geometries like PXCM on a near daily basis,” said Chad Barden, CEO of Atlas 3D. “If not managed properly, these new variables can lead to scrap, rework, and loss of time to market. Sunata will ensure build success and is an integral part of this project.” ## The Project Partners – ### ITAMCO Since 1955, ITAMCO has provided open gearing and precision machining services to heavy-duty industries including Mining, Off-Highway Vehicles, Marine, and Aviation.

Atlas 3D will join Siemens Digital Industries Software, where its solutions will expand additive manufacturing capabilities in the Xcelerator portfolio of software. [![Siemens Expands Additive Manufacturing Portfolio Through Acquisition of Atlas 3D](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Siemens_PLM_Atlas3D.jpg)](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Siemens_PLM_Atlas3D.jpg) Sunata™ software uses thermal distortion analysis to provide a simple, automated way to optimize part build orientation and generate support structures. This approach allows the designer—rather than the analyst—to perform these simulations, thereby reducing the downstream analysis that needs to be conducted via Simcenter™ software to achieve a part that meets design requirements. Siemens plans to make the Atlas 3D solution available through its online Additive Manufacturing Network. “We welcome Atlas 3D to the Siemens community as the newest member of our additive manufacturing team. Our solutions industrialize additive manufacturing for large enterprises, 3D printing service bureaus, design firms and CAD designers,” said Zvi Feuer, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing Engineering Software of Siemens Digital Industries Software. “The cloud-based Sunata software makes it easy for designers to determine the optimal way to 3D print parts for high quality and repeatability. The combination of Sunata with the robust CAE additive manufacturing tools in Simcenter enables a ‘right first time’ approach for industrial 3D printing.” “Siemens is a leader in additive manufacturing, with the most integrated and functionally robust solutions in the industry, so we are excited to join the team,” said Chad Barden, Chief Executive Officer of Atlas 3D. “The power of Sunata is that it equips designers to more easily design parts that are printable, which helps companies more quickly realize the benefits of additive manufacturing. As part of Siemens, we look forward to introducing Sunata to customers who already have Siemens’ AM solutions and can achieve new efficiencies in their front-end design-for-additive process, as well as companies who have yet to start their additive manufacturing journey.” The high rate of 3D print failures is a key challenge companies face in leveraging additive manufacturing for high-volume production. Parts often need to go through several design and analysis iterations before the optimal build orientation and support structures are determined. Typically, designers don’t have the capabilities to consider such factors as part orientation, distortion, and heat extraction uniformity in their design. This puts the onus on engineering specialists to resolve such issues. Atlas 3D’s Sunata software solves this problem by giving front-end designers a quick, easy and automated way to get much closer to a “right first time” build. Sunata is a GPU-accelerated high-performance computing additive manufacturing software solution that can deliver results up to one hundred times faster than other build simulation solutions on the market. GPU-accelerated computing is the employment of a graphics processing unit (GPU) along with a computer processing unit (CPU) to facilitate processing-intensive operations such as deep learning, analytics and engineering applications. The acquisition is due to close in November 2019. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

How long did it take to manufacture one part? How long did each process take? Were were problems occurring? We needed a way to track these things and make production as productive and efficient as possible. Our in-house developers began creating QuPiD as a way to better track the way we manufacture. The software is always being being updated and expanded. QuPiD now works as follows: - Each ITAMCO employee installs QuPiD on their mobile device - They sign into a job via QuPiD when they receive a part - When they complete their operation of the Manufacturing Order (MO), they sign out of that job. - The part continues to the next stage. Data submitted cannot be deleted, altered, or edited, and it can always be traced back to the original transaction author. QuPiD can now immutably verify every transaction that is uploaded. This also plays a role in helping ITAMCO to adhere to the ISO9001:2015 standard.

Below are my thoughts: **Dear Dianna,** My name is Joel Neidig, and I’m currently serving on the [SME Member Council](https://www.sme.org/aboutsme/member-council/). I’d like to give you a little of my background and what I was doing in 1999. Let me tell you, it wasn’t anything that SME and the manufacturing community as a whole would find significant. I was 16, and on the weekends, my friends and I would game, mostly strategy games like Warcraft (not WoW), Command & Conquer, Age of Empires and, of course, the occasional first-person shooter; Unreal Tournament was our FPS of choice. In 1999, we didn’t have Wi-Fi (or it wasn’t readily available), and PCs just didn’t seamlessly connect to the internet. We spent most of the time arguing over how the network was going to be set up, yep we were geeks. A bad LAN setup could be the difference between ultimate victory and utter defeat. We had a lot of latency or “lag” back in the day, and we’d try everything we could to improve the experience. (Some of this may sound familiar with what you might be experiencing while at home with all the streaming that’s going on during the COVID-19 crisis.) But I digress. As teenagers, we had the same issues that manufacturing has: How do I connect to the thing that’s most important to me and get the information I need to succeed? In manufacturing, we’ve gone from Radio Shack TSR80s and single-axis machine tools to Microsoft HoloLens and machine tools that are multiaxis, multitasking and multichannel. Without a standard way to communicate from machine-to-machine, we manufacturers are like me and my friends as teens — we’ve cobbled our devices together to get what we want or settle for less. So what’s a standard way manufacturing engineers can communicate and connect, especially in this time of crisis we’re in? Enter SME. I first heard about SME in 2013 when a colleague and former international director of the SME board mentioned I should join. He told me it would be a great way to connect to other engineers and young professionals in the manufacturing community, so I joined. About a year and a half later, I was awarded the [2015 Dennis S. Bray Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award](https://www.sme.org/oyme), which was a great honor and also very meaningful. As an added bonus, my SME membership connected me with so many other professionals, not only my age but mentors that I’ve learned a great deal from over the years. From there, I connected with so many universities and Fortune 500 organizations that really propelled my career to collaborate on so many projects with other like-minded manufacturing professionals. One of my favorite events is [SME’s North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC)](https://namrc.sme.org/). I really enjoy hearing all the paper presentations and new research and technology that comes out every year at this event. I also participated and was a finalist in two of the [Blue Sky Competitions](https://www.sme.org/blue-sky-competition), which is a lot of fun and a great experience! Just like the early days of the internet and even today, SME provides a way to connect with manufacturing professionals across the globe, leveraging a knowledge base that I otherwise would not have access to. And even though we’re nestled in our homes for the continuation of the crisis, we have a community we can rely on and be digitally connected to via [SME Connect](https://www.sme.org/engage/engage-with-sme/). So check it out, there’s a whole community there for you!

ITAMCO, West Virginia University, and the University of Buffalo will develop hybrid modeling for energy efficient grinding processes for gear manufacturing. ## Read the entire press release below: Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s [Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CESMII)](https://www.cesmii.org/) announced more than $6 million for eight projects to improve energy-intensive manufacturing processes and strengthen the U.S. manufacturing sector. CESMII is a part of [Manufacturing USA](https://www.manufacturingusa.com/), a network of regional institutes that have a specialized technology focus to increase U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and promote a robust and sustainable national manufacturing research and development (R&D) infrastructure. CESMII works with American companies to spur innovations in new, integrated, systematic “smart” manufacturing processes with a highly skilled manufacturing workforce and a vibrant supply chain. The Trump Administration has identified advanced manufacturing as one of the vital [industries of the future](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/america-will-dominate-industries-future/). The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Oct. 2018 “[Strategy for American Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Advanced-Manufacturing-Strategic-Plan-2018.pdf)” calls for new smart manufacturing technologies to “facilitate a digital transformation in the manufacturing sector by enabling the application of big data analytics and advanced sensing and control technologies to a host of manufacturing activities.” “Advances in digital technologies and other forms of ‘smart manufacturing’ can improve the efficiency and competitiveness of America’s manufacturing sector,” said Alex Fitzsimmons, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency. “In partnership with industry, universities, and the National Laboratories, DOE’s investments will help position the U.S. for global leadership in the advanced manufacturing industries of the future.” The following projects are selected for negotiations: - **Auburn University** and **Rayonier Advanced Materials** will develop a soft sensor and predictive control for anti-foaming agent usage, wash water flow, and pulp quality in paper manufacturing using statistics pattern analysis and machine learning. - **Baxter Solutions** and **Purdue University** will develop real-time, non-invasive, process monitoring system for pharmaceutical lyophilization (also known as freeze-drying) equipment based on a wireless network of vacuum and temperature sensors. - **Honeywell, Virginia Tech, Bodycote,** and **Seco-Warwick** will develop new sensors, monitoring and data analytic methods and apply them to three industrially relevant thermal processes. - **Pennsylvania State University, Texas A&M University (TAMU),** and **University of Texas Rio Grande Valley** (**UTRGV)** will develop novel self-powered sensors and identify actuators needed to collect information and respond to actions for machines including legacy machines for key applications. - **Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute** and **IBM** will develop a modeling engine with sophisticated predictive capabilities to model a variety of manufacturing processes and demonstrate the capabilities on a critical complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor transistor manufacturing process. - **Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey,** and **Janssen Pharmaceuticals** will develop advanced process models, sensors and data integration architecture that will be demonstrated on wet granulation, drying and milling in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. - **UTRC, Purdue University,** and the **Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc.** will develop a simulation and testing framework to determine the feasibility of using ultrasound to mitigate dirty white spot defects in forged IN 718 turbine parts in the Vacuum Arc Remelting process. - **West Virginia University, University of Buffalo,** and **Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies (ITAMCO)** will develop and test hybrid modeling for energy efficient grinding processes for gear manufacturing in collaboration with the industrial partners. Founded in 2016, in partnership with DOE’s CESMII is the third institute funded by EERE’s . CESMII accelerates smart manufacturing adoption through the integration of advanced sensors, data analytics, platforms and controls to improve productivity, precision, performance, and energy consumption in manufacturing. To create and sustain American leadership in advanced manufacturing, DOE is investing in new industrial technologies, materials, and processes to help bolster American manufacturing.

The project’s goal is to improve the energy efficiency of manufacturing across the United States. Gears are a critical component industry. Thorsten Wuest, the J. Wayne and Kathy Richards Faculty Fellow and assistant professor of industrial and management systems engineering in the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, believes the demand for gears in the United State alone will grow by 6.4 percent to $40 billion in sales. Researchers from the University at Buffalo and Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies (ITAMCO) collaborative on this project and will develop a holistic hybrid model to predict the specific energy consumption of large-scale grinding processes. The focal point of the project is a large-scale internal double wheel end gear that is approximately 3 feet in diameter with a processing time of over 11 hours. The gear is used in [heavy mining and construction equipment](https://itamco.com/case-studies/ring-gear/). [![Ring Gear](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ring-Gear.webp)](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ring-Gear.webp) Internal Double Wheel End Gear [Learn More](/case-studies/ring-gear/) “In manufacturing there is not much previous work available, especially not at the level we are proposing with direct industrial application through our industrial partner Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies (ITAMCO) and the reach of CESMII,” Wuest said. Hybrid analytics, a relatively newer field, merges traditional, physics-based modeling with data-driven machine learning models. The proposed project will directly impact operations at ITAMCO and has the potential to reduce energy consumption by large-scale grinding by at least 15 percent. Wuest explained that for CNC grinding systems energy accounts for about 33 percent of the overall manufacturing cost. “Reducing the energy consumption by improving the grinding strategy based on hybrid modeling does not only reduce the environmental impact, but it also improves the company’s bottom line and further increases the competitiveness of U.S. manufactured high-tech goods on the global marketplace,” he continued. According to Wuest, grinding has the highest rate of energy consumption of all machining processes, and this process isn’t going anywhere soon.

[Download the Guide](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ITAMCO-Guide-to-Additive-Manufacturing-PDF.pdf "ITAMCO Guide to Additive Manufacturing") [MATERIAL EXTRUSION](#materialextrusion)[VAT PHOTOPOLY.](#vatphoto)[POWDER BED FUSION](#powderbed)[MATERIAL JETTING](#materialjetting)[BINDER JETTING](#binderjetting)[DIRECTED ENERGY DEP.](#directedenergy) [MATERIAL EXTRUSION](#materialextrusion_mobile)[VAT PHOTOPOLY.](#vatphoto_mobile)[POWDER BED FUSION](#powderbed_mobile)[MATERIAL JETTING](#materialjetting_mobile)[BINDER JETTING](#binderjetting_mobile)[DIRECTED ENERGY DEP.](#directedenergy_mobile) ![Material Extrusion](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Additive-Manufacturing-Vectors_blue-03.svg) ## MATERIAL EXTRUSION --- One of the most common forms of material extrusion is Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and perhaps the bestknown additive manufacturing process. FDM extrudes a thermoplastic filament through a heated nozzle and onto a build platform. The material then solidifies as it cools, although not until it fuses to adjacent layers. FDM uses a wide variety of thermoplastic filaments, including ABS, PLA, nylon, PC, ULTEM, and more complex filaments (metal and wood). [BACK TO TOP](#top) ![MATERIAL EXTRUSION](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/AdditiveTechnology_Individuals-08.svg) ## Applications FDM is often the go-to method for producing non-functional prototypes or rapid prototyping where multiple iterations are needed because it is quick and cost effective. It is also the dominant technology behind lower-cost, hobbyist machines. ## Did You Know? Because the process is fast and inexpensive, it is often used to produce prototypes. Although dimensional accuracy was a concern in the past, some modern industrial FDM machines produce functional prototypes. Research continues into post-processing methods which improve overall strength of the finished part. ![VAT PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/AdditiveTechnology_Individuals-01.svg) ## Applications Stereolithography (SLA) – This method has its roots in the first 3D printers. SLA uses a build platform in a tank of liquid polymer. A UV laser shines from beneath the object and maps each layer. When finished the platform rises and liquid resin pools below the object to begin the next layer Direct Light Processing (DLP) creates each layer of an object by projecting laser light on tiny mirrors, resulting in the projection of square pixels, layer-by-layer. It is often faster than SLA because each layer is fully projected in a single operation. ## Did You Know? Vat photopolymerization produces parts with extreme detail and smooth surfaces. The process is a good fit for jewelry, the medical industry, and low-run injection molds. ![Vat Photopolymerization](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/vat_photo.svg) ## VAT PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION --- Vat photopolymerization uses liquid rather than powder or filament. Printing techniques vary, but they all use photopolymer resins – often tough, transparent and castable materials. The resins are cured using UV light directed across the surface of the resin. [BACK TO TOP](#top) ![POWDER BED FUSION](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Additive-Manufacturing-Vectors_blue-02.svg) ## POWDER BED FUSION --- As the name suggests, Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) involves melting particles to fuse them together. Particles of plastic or metal powder are either “sintered” (partially melted) or fully melted using thermal energy in the form of a laser, beams of electrons, or a heated print head. A ultrathin layer of material is spread by a roller or blade over the preceding layer on a print bed or build plate. The powder is fed onto a build platform that lowers to accommodate each consecutive layer of powder. Excess powder is removed at the end of the additive process. [BACK TO TOP](#top) ![POWDER BED FUSION](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/AdditiveTechnology_Individuals-02.svg) ## Applications Powder bed fusion is an ideal solution for many types of manufacturing because it’s easy to design for and allows users to build complex geometries. Parts typically possess high strength and stiffness with a large range of postprocessing methods available. ## Did You Know? Common powder bed fusion processes are – direct metal laser melting, electron beam melting, directed metal laser sintering, selective laser melting, selective laser sintering, and selective heat sintering. ![MATERIAL JETTING](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/AdditiveTechnology_Individuals-03.svg) ## Applications Ideal for realistic prototypes with high detail, high accuracy, and smooth finishes. Material jetting allows for multiple colors and materials in a single print. ## Did You Know? Material jetting is one of the most precise AM processes and can print layers as thin as 15-16 microns ![Material Jetting](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/material_jetting.svg) ## MATERIAL JETTING --- Material Jetting is an AM process that uses drop-ondemand (DOD) technology. Like a 2D inkjet printer, tiny nozzles dispense tiny droplets of a waxy photopolymer, layer by layer. UV light cures and hardens the droplets before the next layer is created. This additive technology heavily relies on support structures, so a second series of nozzles dispenses a dissolvable polymer that supports the object as it is printed. When the printing is complete, the support material is dissolved away. [BACK TO TOP](#top) ![Binder Jetting](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/BinderJetting.svg) ## BINDER JETTING --- The Binder Jetting Process is similar to material jetting, but uses powdered material and a binding agent. Nozzles deposit tiny droplets of a binder on an ultrafine layer of a broad range of powdered materials (metal, ceramic, glass, etc.). Multiple layers result from the powder bed moving downward after each layer is created. [BACK TO TOP](#top) ![](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/AdditiveTechnology_Individuals-04.svg) ## Applications Ideal for aesthetic applications like architectural and furniture design models. Not very functional because of its brittle nature. ## Did You Know? The finished “print” is in a green state and requires postprocessing. Bronze may be used to infiltrate a metal object to improve its mechanical properties enough to make it a functional component. A cyanoacrylate adhesive is a common infiltrant for ceramic. Ceramic objects produced by binder jetting are still brittle and are primarily used as architectural models or models for sand casting. ![DIRECTED ENERGY DEPOSITION](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/AdditiveTechnology_Individuals-05.svg) ## Applications This process is ideal for repairing or adding material to existing components. DED can also be used to build objects very quickly with the size and complexity only limited by robotic arm reach and axes. ## Did You Know? This AM process is most commonly used with metal, although some systems can use ceramic powder or polymers. DED is the fastest AM technology, does not require support structures, and is perfect to build large parts that don’t need tight tolerances. The metal material is also melted before it cools and hardens, this means parts are fully dense and production ready although the surface finish is poor. Most DED parts require significant secondary machining. ![Directed Energy Deposition](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/directed-energy.svg) ## DIRECTED ENERGY DEPOSITION --- Directed Energy Deposition (DED) uses highly focused thermal energy (laser, electron beam, or plasma arc) to melt and fuse material jetted into the heated chamber from either powdered metal or wire filament. DED closely resembles welding and is commonly used to repair and maintain existing parts, although it can be used to deposit material directly onto a build tray.

They form the basis for the part foundation and providing structural support. They are also critical in eliminating part warp during powder recoating and improving heat extraction generated from the laser sintering. ### CHALLENGE With direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), surface temperature gradients and sintering-induced shrinkage can lead to unanticipated residual stress and part distortion. The goal of this project was to develop a modeling tool that would determine optimal part orientation and support location to minimize the likelihood of distortion during the DMLS process. ## Project Partners ![University of Pittsburgh](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/University_of_Pittsburgh_seal.svg) ![Johnson and Johnson](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/JohnsonandJohnsonLogo.svg) ![ITAMCO Logo](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ITAMCO-Logo-blue.svg) ![University of Notre Dame](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ND_mark_blue.svg) ![Atlas 3D Support Structures](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Atlas-Minimal-Build-Time.png) ### APPROACH An in-depth survey was conducted to learn as much as possible about how design/manufacturing engineers currently handled these issues. This allowed greater understanding of the rules used to select an optimal part orientation. These rules and insights were then codified to automatically generate an optimal part orientation. Work was also done to develop a support minimization function and create a heat transfer model for DMLS allowing a prediction of thermal mass and temperature gradients to generate a minimal part distortion model. The research and development was compiled into plug-in for AutoCAD Inventor™ called ATLAS. Subsequently it has been developed into a stand-alone, web-based software. ### RESULTS This work resulted in the introduction of a new type of model for distortion prediction in DMLS printing: a Thermal Circuit Network (TCN) and a Quasistatic Thermomechanical Model (QTM). The model simulates the support-removal process so on-substrate and off-substrate displacement and residual stress can be predicted. The TCN-QTM model was validated against experimental data of disk samples with different dimensions and build orientations, demonstrating a relative error less than 15% in terms of radius of curvature at the top surface of the disks and an agreement in trends of the residual stress. The distorted shapes of a horizontally and vertically built prism predicted by the TCN-QTM model both qualitatively and quantitatively matched the distortion measured by others cited in the literature. In the case study of simple and complex contoured parts, TCN-QTM was further validated. The TCN-QTM models outperformed novice operators on metrics of maximum distortion, number of attempts, and energy usage. Specifically, maximum distortion was reduced from as high as 0.3 inches to 0.01 inches; the number of attempts to achieve a successful build was reduced from a high of six attempts to a single attempt; and energy usage, as measured by BTU’s per part, was reduced by 86%. The combined TCN-QTM model is faster in comparison to existing DMLS prediction algorithms, providing predictions in as little as ten minutes for simple part geometries. [![Atlas 3D has been acquired by Siemens](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Atlas-3D-h-acquired.svg) ](https://www.atlas3d.xyz) As a direct result of this project, a new company, [Atlas 3D](https://newsroom.sw.siemens.com/en-US/atlas-3d-acquisition/), was established and the ATLAS software has been commercialized as Suntata™, a cloud service, hosted on Amazon Web Services to provide highly scalable computing resources with proven security. Sunata™ answers the optimal orientation and support structure question for the user. Users simply upload their designs (.STL CAD file) and Sunata™ scientifically models the part in 100 different orientations to arrive at the optimal orientation and associated support structures. In recent months, Atlas 3D has greatly expanded Sunata’s™ capabilities to include build cost estimates, distortion mapping, parts nesting on the build plate, and much more. Most recently in November 2019, Siemens has announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Atlas 3D.

It can help decide where drilling for geothermal well should take place and predict whether a site geologists pick contains high temperature geothermal resources. The Utah FORGE (Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy) site was chosen by the Department of Energy (DOE) as the winning location for testing and demonstrating new technologies that will advance geothermal heat extraction from naturally fractured, low-permeability host rocks—in particular, enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) energy development. The Utah Geological Survey compiled geothermal information from a variety of publicly available sources including the Southern Methodist University Geothermal Laboratory, U.S. Geological Survey, recently released industry data, and internal unpublished reports. The data consist of 979 records for 952 boreholes throughout Utah. ## RESULTS Using the data supplied from the Utah Geological Survey, the wells were graded and the data labeled. An algorithm was created using Support Vector Machines or SVMs (SVMs are supervised learning models that are widely used for data classification). The algorithm was used to build a model that could make geothermal well predictions. During subsequent tests and actual drilling the prediction the algorithm made were accurate. Subsequent testing, in other countries, proved the SVM models returned a high prediction accuracy. --- ### [Artificial Intelligence](https://itamco.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/) **Published:** January 3, 2019 **Author:** Dan McCormick **Content:** ## Learning Manufacturing Artificial intelligence (AI) technology or machine-learning is making its way into manufacturing.

Today’s Smart Manufacturing is hampered by the complexity of connecting and configuring heterogeneous machine tools, PLCs, sensors, and devices on the shop floor. On-site process data and information is disconnected from higher-level decision making systems. ### CHALLENGE Lack of standardized communication models to define protocols for horizontally and vertically integrated manufacturing systems is the primary disconnect. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) provide little to no support for dynamic planning, scheduling, or optimizing equipment utilization. They don’t support the needs of contract manufacturers as the industry moves towards flexible, agile design and manufacturing services to accommodate wider customer requirements. The challenge is to create the ability to aggregate and analyze process data within a factory in order to make real-time decisions that improve factory operations, and to make this data available to factory operators and to other parts of the value chain. #### Project Partners [![MT Connect](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/MTConnect.png) ](https://www.mtconnect.org/) [![VIMANA](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/vimanagray.png) ](http://govimana.com/) [![Parc](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Parc.svg) ](https://www.parc.com/) ![ITAMCO Logo](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ITAMCO-Logo-blue.svg) ### APPROACH The ultimate goal is a smart factory that has full systems integration of hardware, software, and data to achieve efficiency, robustness, and profitability. The SPEC-OPS project assessed, integrated, and enhanced five existing standards (MTConnect, ISA-95/B2MML, UPnP, ISO 13399, ISO 13374/OpenO&M) to provide a standards-based communication platform enables integrated predictive process control, dynamic scheduling, and process analytics with significantly reduced implementation cost. The SPEC-OPS open-standards communication platform advances the effort to realize a plug-and-play, near-zero-configuration infrastructure utilizing real-time sensor and process data. It is the first communication platform that allows tight integration between machine tools, MES, ERP systems, dynamic planning/scheduling, and process analytics. **This capability will deliver immense savings in planning, scheduling, execution, and maintenance time, translating to increased competitiveness and agility for U.S. manufacturers.** ### RESULTS The SPEC-OPS project developed information models, standards mappings, and standards harmonization documents that enable the communication and integration of heterogeneous physical and software components in the manufacturing environment. Where necessary, the team proposed extensions and enhancements to the MTConnect standard to better serve the needs of dynamic planning, scheduling, and process analysis. SPEC-OPS has demonstrated the ability to utilize standards-based information models and communication technology to create an agile, smart manufacturing platform where each component is a pluggable service sharing open source messaging and data representations. These harmonized standards will allow industries, universities, and national labs to collaborate using common information models. **Standards-based implementations increase the availability of solutions, reduce costs, simplify the level of information complexity, and ultimately foster an ecosystem where every engineer can develop meaningful applications**. --- ### [Propulsion Drive Landing Page](https://itamco.com/case-studies/propulsion-drive-landing-page/) **Published:** August 24, 2020 **Author:** Dan McCormick **Content:** [![ITAMCO Logo](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ITAMCO-Logo-w.svg) ](/case-studies/) # Propulsion Drive Building cleaner and greener locomotion propulsion drives to meet and exceed stringent emissions standards. ### More Case Studies [Read More](/case-studies/) --- ### [Drawworks Landing Page](https://itamco.com/case-studies/drawworks-landing-page/) **Published:** August 24, 2020 **Author:** Dan McCormick **Content:** [![ITAMCO Logo](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ITAMCO-Logo-w.svg) ](/case-studies/) # Oil and Gas Drawworks Gearbox Manufacturing the LDW 1000K gear-driven Drawworks gearbox used in the hoisting mechanism to raise and lower the drill stem and bit. ### More Case Studies [Read More](/case-studies/) --- ### [Ring Gear Landing Page](https://itamco.com/case-studies/ring-gear-landing-page/) **Published:** August 24, 2020 **Author:** Dan McCormick **Content:** [![ITAMCO Logo](https://itamco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ITAMCO-Logo-w.svg) ](/case-studies/) # Ring Gear Quick delivery for the industry’s most demanding conditions.
