Optomec, a leading global supplier of production grade additive manufacturing solutions, will showcase its industry proven and affordable LENS systems for 3D printed metals at the Additive Manufacturing User Group (AMUG) Conference and Expo in St. Louis. Highlighting its exhibition will be live demonstrations of Optomec LENS technology and video presentations of the industry first and only atmosphere controlled LENS Hybrid System for additive and subtractive processing of metals, including titanium and aluminum. In addition, Optomec will highlight its 5 axis Aerosol Jet technology for printed electronics including a display of sample parts demonstrating conformal sensors, antenna, and 3D interconnects for semiconductor packaging. Optomec will be located in booth P-13.
Optomec is offering a variety of opportunities to learn about the latest breakthroughs in 3D printed metals and printed electronics and to interact with technology experts, users and partners. A summary of these opportunities at AMUG follows:
Optomec LENS 3D hybrid technology combines a rugged CNC automation platform with industry-proven LENS technology, lowering acquisition cost to bring metal additive manufacturing capabilities to a broader market. This LENS product line includes four models each designed to reduce manufacturing process times and costs while enabling improved end product performance. The additive only, open atmosphere model with a build envelope of 500x300x500 mm has an entry price of around $300,000.
AMUG is a global community focused on accelerating the education and advancement of additive manufacturing and 3D Printing. The conference brings together over 2,000 engineers, designers, managers, and educators from around the world to share expertise, best practices, challenges, and application developments in additive manufacturing.
