The faster speed leads to lower cost per part, and dramatically so.
“Area Printing,” the technology of which DeMuth himself is a co-inventor, is a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process applying a pulsing laser in a “tiling” fashion that bypasses some of the trade-offs affecting production speed that are inherent to systems moving a continuous laser along a path. Seurat (named for the French artist - more on this below) is advancing perhaps the boldest vision of any contract manufacturer committed to additive. I recently visited Seurat Technologies’ headquarters in Wilmington, Massachusetts, to see the company’s proprietary AM technology in action and learn about its progress toward launching the first full-scale production facility based on it. That is, sectors that have so far been left out of the advance of metal AM for production. Seurat Technologies CEO and co-founder James DeMuth sees sectors such as these as the principal beneficiaries of the technology his company is developing. 3D Printed Brake Panel for the Rail Industry: The Cool Parts Show #52
