The Flex software tool enables exploring the complex cause and effect relationships involved in metal AM. Flex enables direct prediction of thermal history, meltpool shape, material phase/state/microstructure transformations and defect/failure mechanisms based upon an accurate representation of the machine, material and scan strategies used to build a part. 3DSIM LLC

CAM Software for Additive Manufacturing EOSPrint 2.0 is designed to be an intuitive, open and pro- ductive CAM tool to optimize CAD data for EOS systems. It delivers a comprehensive Additive Manufacturing (AM) CAM environment for engi- neers who want to fully leverage the benefi ts of AM with production- ready design. EOS has integrated numerous improvements and addressed customer requirements in version
2.0, particularly in the fi eld of operability. This makes the initial steps of the actual AM build process easier. Also, users increase their productivity in construction. EOS of North America Ph: 248-306-0143 Web site:

3D-Printed Tungsten Parts Pure tungsten parts are AM-manufactured by powder bed laser melting for applications that require resistance to wear and heat, resistance to most acids and bases, and require high levels of hardness, high density, and high level of stiff- ness. Key product parameters include maximum product size of 230 × 230 × 200 mm; minimum feature size of 100 µm; minimum tolerance of 25 µm; minimum wall thickness
of 100 µm; and high aspect ratios (1:700). Design cycle is short with minor product adaptations possible to optimize design-for-assembly. Dunlee-Smit Röentgen Ph: +31 40 27 62707 Web site:

Portable Explosion-Proof Systems Explosion-proof vacuum cleaner technology is available for 3D additive manufacturing of metals and plastics where powders can become extremely volatile and explosive. These manufacturing environments mandate well-maintained house- keeping practices along with the use of specialized and certifi ed equipment for each particular application. Tiger-Vac’s complete line of explosion-proof portable vacuum cleaner and dust col- lection systems are NRTL legally certifi ed for use in Division I, Class 11, Group E and D, F&G atmo-
spheres. Vacuums are available in pneumatic and electrically operated units as well as single and three-phase systems. Various models and options are available for dry only or wet mix immersion separator recovery and HEPA fi ltration. Tiger-Vac Inc. Ph: 800-668-4437 Web site:

Immersion Separation Vacuums
NA35 Series immersion separation self-contained vacuum systems are designed to eliminate the risk of an explosion in additive manufacturing environments where explosive or impact-sensitive materials may contain an ignition source (such as aluminum, titanium or zirconium) and other vola- tile dusts. The NA35 Series collects explosive or glow- ing media particles entering the vacuum and immediately mixes them in a turbulent liquid bath, submerging and neutral- izing them in the vacuum’s hydrophobic and oleophobic water fi lter system. This pro- cess stops already contained materials from fi nding any ignition source that may be introduced into the vacuum, guaranteeing a safe, explosion-proof work environment. Ruwac
