Challenge: Long lead times of ~18 months and high non-conformance rates plagued the casting of muzzle brakes for #defense. Solution: Using Velo3D's Sapphire XC 1MZ, we successfully printed a muzzle brake on the first attempt within two weeks, reducing lead time to just 4 weeks. We've compiled this case study as well as 13 others our latest ebook: Achievable Innovation - Creating new capabilities, achieving better performance, and transforming manufacturing methods with Velo3D's #LPBF technology.

RAPID + TCT Day 2 is underway. If you did not get a chance, visit booth 1401 to speak with our team. Hear from our Chief Commercial Officer, Michelle Sidwell, tomorrow at 8:30am during the Executive Perspectives Keynote on the main stage. Drive innovation, unlock new capabilities, and manufacture your most advanced designs with Velo3D. Our Sapphire printers can produce complex geometries that are impossible to achieve with traditional methods, allowing you to consolidate assemblies and create parts that are lighter, stronger, and more efficient. Utilize a digital inventory where qualified parts are stored in a comprehensive, secure, and immutable file compatible with all Sapphire printers. These parts can be printed on any Velo3D printer worldwide, ensuring consistency, quality, and scalability.

Aheadd of the Curve: Exploring the Benefits of CP1 Aluminum In this 3Din30 webinar, we explore Aheadd® CP1, a groundbreaking material for additive manufacturing. Learn how CP1 surpasses traditional aluminum alloys like AlSi10Mg, offering easier post-processing and heat treatment. Featuring Toby Maconachie from PWR Advanced Cooling Technology and Velo3D's Suraj Rao, the webinar highlights CP1's superior brazing and welding properties and its resistance to corrosion. We also cover its applications in motorsports, defense, aerospace, and energy, demonstrating why CP1 is the ideal material for these industries. If you have a question, please ask in the chat and we will respond during the live session. Contact us for a quote or to learn more.

Day 1 of RAPID + TCT 2024 is off to a great start. Visit Velo3D at booth 1401 to see some of our newest parts including a Muzzle Brake for Defense, an XC Fan Blade showing the full capacity of our printers, and our Ramjet Engine design printed on both the Sapphire and Sapphire XC. Today, at 2:30 pm, Hear from Taylor Doty in Room 407, and stop by our booth between 3:30 and 5pm for a drink during our sponsored floor reception 🥂. #Rapid2024 #metalAM #3dprinting #event

Velo3D is excited to return to RAPID + TCT! Join us to discover innovative solutions that are transforming manufacturing. Stop by Booth #1401 and talk to our experts. At the conference, we'll showcase our new Aheadd CP1 fan blades, printed on both the Sapphire and Sapphire XC. CP1 offers improved weldability and crack resistance, and requires simpler heat treatment compared to Aluminum F357, reducing production complexity. With superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, CP1 is perfect for various industrial applications where durability and longevity are essential. Schedule a meeting to discuss CP1 at Rapid: https://lnkd.in/g2t9KKYp We are also sponsoring a happy hour next to our booth on Tuesday, June 25th, from 3:30-5 PM on the show floor. Come join us for a drink! #Rapid2024 #innovation #aluminum #MetalAM #conference #3dPrinting
