Additive Manufacturing, pushing boundaries in diverse applications - with Deelip Menezes

Additive Manufacturing is enabling artists to transform their ideas into tangible works of art. The inherent benefits of 3D Printing is allowing artists to create more complex structures., create multiple iterations to ensure they perfect their art and enabling collaborations across disciplines. On this Episode of AM Infocast we connect with one such artist, Lakshmi Mohanbabu, who is the first and only Singaporean to be selected by the Moon Gallery, the first extra-terrestrial art gallery which aims to travel to the Moon. Additive Manufacturing played a big part in creating her work of art for this project - the interaction cube, which will become a part of this permanent gallery on the Moon comprising 100 micro, highly concentrated ideas from around the world Tune in to this conversation where we discuss her work and how the fusion of art and technology is being enabled by Additive Manufacturing. About <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lakshmimohanbabu/" target="_blank">Lakshmi Mohanbabu</a>Lakshmi Mohanbabu is the only Singaporean artist selected to be part of the Moon Gallery, the first extraterrestrial gallery on the Moon comprising 100 artworks from around the world. In February 2022, the gallery will fly to the International Space Station, the final frontier of human habitat in space before its final journey to the Moon by 2025. In the creation of her two artworks for the Moon Gallery, 'the Interaction cube' and 'the Structure and reflectance cube', she worked with Singapore's NAMIC (National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster) and NTU ( Nanyang Technological University).

Answering the Call for Factory Level AM Productivity & Performance - with Shell Haffner

With increasing concerns about global warming and stiff competition, industries are actively looking to cut their costs, carbon footprint, and lead times. Additive Manufacturing can help companies in achieving these goals by reducing waste and enabling them to build complex, bio-inspired, geometries which reduce weight and increase efficiency. As companies are now evaluating Additive Manufacturing for production and not only prototyping, the role of materials is becoming more important to ensure the required mechanical properties, productivity and performance. In this episode of AM Infocast powered by <a href="https://www.metals4printing.com/" target="_blank">m4p material solutions GmbH</a>, I am joined by Priyanshu Bajaj, Regional Manager - Asia Pacific, <a href="https://www.metals4printing.com/" target="_blank">m4p material solutions GmbH</a> where we discuss the challenges and opportunities of materials designed for Metal Additive Manufacturing and talk about some cutting edge applications only possible with developing new alloys for use in the AM process. Tune in to this episode to as we talk about the evolving landscape of high conductivity alloys for additive manufacturing and the future of materials for Metal Additive Manufacturing. About Priyanshu BajajEngineer, metallurgist, and 3D printing enthusiast with an entrepreneurial outlook; over 6 years of experience in industry & research. Currently building m4p (metals4printing.com) in Asia Pacific. Focussed on helping AM users - both service bureaus and end-users with their material challenges in additive manufacturing. Cutting short lead-times, batch-to-batch variation, and costs for standard materials used in metal AM. Going beyond the standard AM materials and finding the right material for applications when required, developing process parameters for the target material, and helping to develop post-process heat treatments.
