About This Webinar

For the automotive industry, metal 3D printing seems like the perfect choice to further optimize tooling components such as high-pressure die cast (HPDC) inserts. With additive manufacturing (AM), engineers should be able to decrease turnaround times and extend part lifetimes through more efficient conformal cooling channels. Unfortunately, conventional AM systems struggle to print large (greater than 5 mm) diameters for internal cooling channels, which limits the engineering design window. Any larger and the top of the channel breaks down, leading to surface roughness and crack fatigue.

Velo3D offers the automotive industry a new opportunity to improve performance. Proven in the space industry, Velo3D's Sapphire printers can produce parts with large (up to 100 mm) internal channels with higher-quality surface roughness. In addition, the new Sapphire XC 1MZ offers engineers the largest build volume (diameter of 600 mm, z-axis height of 1000 mm) for a printer in this class, fully opening the engineering design window.

Join Velo3D as Applications Development Engineer Siddharthan Selvasekar and Director of Sales for the Midwest Paul Hollowaty discuss how Velo3D overcomes these limitations with its unique advanced metal AM solution.
