Additive manufacturing (AM) part validation innovator Dimensionics Density is slated to unveil its innovative automatic density determination technology ideally suited for dynamic AM production settings at the upcoming Formnext exhibition.
The event, to be held from 7 to 10 November at Hall 11 Stand 61, marks the first public demonstration of this cutting-edge density determination technology, offering attendees a firsthand look at its capabilities.
Dimensionics Density is also inviting attendees to bring their specific application requirements to the show, fostering face-to-face discussions in Frankfurt.
According to Philipp Pruesse, who serves as the head of Sales at Dimensionics Density, their system employs a specialized component carrier with openings on the underside to hold measurement samples.
An automated axis robot transports these carriers through the system, precisely positioning them onto the scales. These scales are equipped with a lift-out rack featuring pins, allowing components to be elevated over the carrier’s openings and removed.
This automated process ensures consistent placement on the scales, removing any human influence on the measurements.
To enhance accuracy, the scales are designed to isolate vibrations, and the system continually monitors environmental conditions such as temperature, air pressure, and water temperature using climate sensors, which are taken into account during density determination.
Pruesse stated, “We are thrilled to participate in Formnext this year, marking the first time we’ve made our density determination technology available to the AM sector.”
He said that prospective visitors to Dimensionics’ booth will have the opportunity to observe the technology in operation, extending their invitation for them to interact with ahead of the event by presenting questions specific to their applications.
“Automation plays a pivotal role in the AM process chain, enhancing efficiency, consistency, and precision at every production stage. Our density determination technology is a groundbreaking innovation that reinforces the ability to reliably test the density of AM-produced parts, further solidifying AM’s position as a disruptive force in modern production settings,” the Dimensionics official concluded.
