Verisurf X9 Release with 3D Solid Modeling Verisurf X9 continues to close the gaps in being able to maintain a digital thread between design, manufacturing, and quality inspection. New Verisurf X9 release includes the addition of Verisurf SOLIDS, a complete 3D solid modeling application, enhanced scan data collection, processing and viewing, and the ability to inspect 3D-printed parts using the STL model as the nominal. Verisurf software quickly converts point cloud data into watertight mesh


or STL models ready for surfacing and suitable for 3D print- ing. This includes alignment and merging of meshes, fi ltering, smoothing and fi lling holes. For some applications, like 3D copying, this step is as far as you need to go. Using Verisurf’s easy Align/Inspect/Report quality inspection process, 3D- printed parts can be compared directly to the 3D STL model for accuracy. Verisurf Software Inc.

Direct 3D Metal Jetting System NanoParticle Jetting technology is a direct 3D metal jet- ting system that can produce complex 3D metal parts with intricate details and with high-quality metallurgy. NanoParticle Jetting produces an ultra-thin layer of droplets containing metal nanoparticles or support nanoparticles. These are deposited onto the system build-tray, producing metal parts with the ease and versatility of inkjet printing without com- promising throughput. Deliv- ered as sealed cartridges, the liquid dispersions are loaded easily into the XJet system, eliminating the need to handle metal powders. Inside the system’s build envelope, extremely high temperatures cause the liquid jacket around the metal nanoparticles to evaporate. This results in strong binding of the metal


structures as well as the simultaneous realization of a larger number of casting cores. Lithoz has developed its own mate- rial and production system for the additive manufacturing of casting cores. The company also has developed biocompat- ible materials such as alumina and zirconia that are suitable for the generation of permanent implants. Lithoz GMBH

Ceramic Cores for Aerospace Cost-effi cient, fast production technology is designed for the fabrication of casting cores for turbine engine blades. Ceramic cores are predominantly used for the investment casting of nickel-based superalloys of turbine blades but can also be used for other applications. The tool-free manufac- turing technology enables the creation of highly complex
