“Optomec?and?Siemens?are introducing a transformative solution for the MRO of high value metals in production environments that is a paradigm shift for the industry,” said?Robert Yusin, CEO of Optomec. “This is a next generation solution that maximizes efficiency, minimizes operational complexity and greatly reduces time to ROI for customers." https://lnkd.in/grm3r2wc #highROI #MRObusiness #metalprinting #CS558

Directed energy deposition (DED) technology is a widely adopted method of metal printing that is helping to optimise production of individual parts. A nozzle mounted on a multi-axis arm deposits metal powder or wire onto a part, before the material is melted using a laser, electron beam or plasma arc. Use cases involving DED technology that are in high demand among manufacturers include maintenance, repair and operations (MRO); and laser overcoating and cladding. “The biggest ROI for DED is in the repair business, and this is seen within the automotive, aerospace and energy sectors,” says Robert Yusin, CEO of 3D printing company Optomec, which works closely with a global provider of jet engines on turbine blade repair, as well as with a global automotive manufacturer on motorcycle part production. ? According to Yusin, refurbishing and repairing turbine blades for aerospace and energy customers provides cost savings of around 80% compared with creating new blades. Multiple blades can be worked on at once with the aid of automation software, which isn’t possible with traditional welding. “We work on fixing blades in the hot section and cold section of the engines, and are able to provide ROI back to a production customer in about 1.7 years. You really have three ways to repair a blade: traditional welding; wire bonding; and then our focus, additive powder, to repair a blade. The efficiency comes from the process and CAD software, combined with the hardware that produced the output for the customers.” DED additive manufacturing is carried out through melting of metal powder, using lasers. Up to four powder feeders are used to accurately produce metal material with optimal properties for properly repairing blades and other engine parts, as well as parts of vehicles. Different sizes of blades call for the use of various DED machines. At one end of the scale, smaller blades are repaired with CAD-based automation using Optomec’s CS 250 machine, which includes a 250mm x 250mm x 250mm work envelope, and 3-5 axis CNC control system. The optics of the 500-2,000W fibre lasers are customisable using a deposition head, allowing for a variety of spot sizes and power density to be maintained remotely. Meanwhile, the largest blades are repaired by the CS 558 (500W to 3kW laser, 356 x 356 x 558mm work envelope and three, four or five axes of simultaneous motion).
