AMCM GmbH

No company, other than AMCM, wanted to build a 3D printing system with an integrated robot arm for the Fraunhofer IGCV and its spin-off FIDENTIS. AMCM accepted the challenge and adapted the AMCM M 290-1 1kW system to their needs. AMCM, as the customizing company of EOS, distinguishes between two different types of customizing, “Selected Customization” (tuning standard EOS systems to the customer's needs) or “Full Customization” (building a system from scratch for the customer). Today we give you some insight to what “Selected Customization” looks like. With the robot arm FIDENTIS can do multi-material applications as well as sensoring of the part and will thus revolutionize the dental prothesis market. Timo Schröder, CTO of FIDENTIS: “With AMCM we have a reliable partner supporting and further developing the system in the years to come. AMCM knows exactly which interfaces need to be used and how the robot needs to be integrated into the system to create an innovative and unique machine.” Just check the video 😉 Many thanks to our protagonists Timo Schröder, Max Horn, Sina Trik, Marius Hoyer and the others behind the scenes: Lukas Langer, Georg Schlick, Alexander Hofmann, Sven Schmitt #breakthroughengineering #innovation #additivemanufacturing #robotics #MultiMaterial #sensoring

#AM art! It is just fascinating to see lasers working. And especially on #copper. Our AMCM GmbH machine making wonders. The beauty of #additivemanufacturing is limitless! And what is wonderful is making beauty in series😊. #3dprinting #copper #sustainability #conductivity #metalam

The first 3D printed combustion chamber developed by AI alone, passes the hot firing test. 🚀 The chamber was designed by LEAP 71 and printed on a kilowatt AMCM M 290 system. LEAP 71 designed the chamber without the use of CAD software and created it completely autonomously. It took less than 2 weeks from the final decision to production. It is regeneratively cooled by cooling channels that run diagonally around the outside of the combustion chamber. The design with the cooling channels and the use of CuCrZr is a perfect match for any metal 3D printing kilowatt system of AMCM. The design created by the AI can be easily transferred to the 3D printer. If changes to the design are required e.g. to improve the printability of the part, these can be made in a matter of minutes - an unbeatable advantage! The whole AMCM application team did a great job to turn the data into a real chamber. Special thanks to Markus Brigl, Tobias Petzinger and of course Niklas Stiasny, the one responsible for printing the job and preparing the chamber for use. It was a pleasure working with LEAP 71 Josefine Lissner, Lin Kayser and consultant Sam Rogers on this project. Take a look behind the scenes at how the chamber is built and how its 20,000 horsepower is ignited. #AdditiveManufacturing #ComputationalEngineering #universityofsheffield

Two times faster using smarter lasers. MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre purchased the AMCM M 290-2 FLX which incorporates two nLIGHT, Inc. AFX lasers with full-field scanning while offering a variable laser spot from 85 µm Gaussian to 210 µm Donut shape. The video shows the two integrated nLIGHT, Inc. lasers melting IN718 in parallel while running two different process parameters. No surprise that a 210 µm spot is faster! What’s interesting is the fact that you can change the spot size in milliseconds within the same geometry. This allows for higher build rate speeds in bulkier areas while quickly switching to a finer spot where better detail or surface finish is required. The AMCM M 290-2 FLX enables a wider and shallower melt pool with a more uniform temperature distribution, resulting in faster printing with improved process stability. With optimized exposure parameters you can also reduce the formation of soot and spatter. Offering a full field overlap, means that both scanners can reach all areas on the build plate. Compared to a standard single 400 W laser process with 85 µm spot size, a single nLIGHT exposure process is at least 2 times faster in addition to having the same mechanical and surface properties. Watch the video – Nothing more to say 😊 Talk to the AMCM team at the EOS booth #2639 at RAPID + TCT, 25th – 27th of June. Everlee DeWall and Felix Bauer will be more than happy to talk to you about our nLIGHT, Inc. offerings. #AdditiveManufacturing #Collaboration #Innovation #FutureofEngineering #nLIGHT

Thrilled to share insights from my recent interview with #3dprintingindustry where I discussed the challenges and innovations in large-scale additive manufacturing at AMCM GmbH. Learn how we're tackling thermal management, scaling processes, and advancing beam shaping technology to push the boundaries in aerospace and defense. https://lnkd.in/grC6Ncp6 #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #space #aerospace

🚀 LEAP 71 achieves a milestone in aerospace with the first fully autonomous 3D printed rocket engine. Using their revolutionary Noyron computational model, UAE-based LEAP 71 tested a 5 kN Kerolox engine in just 2 weeks from design to manufacturing. The engine, printed in copper by AMCM GmbH, features advanced cooling channels and achieved steady-state during a 12-second hot fire test. This breakthrough opens new frontiers in rocket manufacturing and computational engineering. #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #engineering #rocketengine #space #aerospace

Turn up the volume! We just hot fired a 20,000 horsepower #AI generated rocket engine. Yesterday, we tested a 5 kN Kerolox thruster generated through Noyron RP, our Large Computational Engineering Model. This engine was designed without the use of CAD software, generated completely autonomously, and output on PicoGK, our open-source geometry kernel. It was then #3dprinted in #copper at AMCM GmbH. The engine uses #Kerosene and cryogenic liquid oxygen (#LOX) as propellants. It is regeneratively cooled through cooling channels that angle around the outside of the combustion chamber. The fuel and oxidizer are mixed using an injector head with coaxial swirler elements. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a functioning rocket thruster was generated entirely automatically, without human intervention. From the final decision about propellant types, and other fundamental specs to manufacturing took less than 2 weeks. The generation of a new engine, using different parameters takes only a few minutes, ready to print again and iterate. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. The engine worked flawlessly on the first go, including a long-duration run, that validated steady-state. The burn time was only limited by the amount of fuel available, and lasted for 12 seconds. The team at Airborne Engineering Ltd in the UK executed the test campaign brilliantly. We will publish more information in the coming days. We have a wealth of data that will feed back into Noyron and allow us to train and adjust our model. The engine survived yesterdays test campaign without a scratch and will be fired again. A big shoutout to Sam Rogers for helping bring about the test campaign and giving valuable and practical advice. Without his enthusiasm and valuable connections, most notably to the UK Race to Space team at the The University of Sheffield. The Sheffield rocketeers gave us a wealth of practical feedback, and were instrumental in machining a #3dprinted piece of copper geometry into a functioning engine. A huge thank you to the Race to Space team in Sheffield: Alistair John, Max Crawford-Collins, Henry Saunders, Oliver Dew. You guys are steely-eyed rocket men. #AdditiveManufacturing #ComputationalEngineering Noyron
