It had to happen. Large-format additive manufacturing (AM) systems are expanding their use and finding new applications - meaning The Cool Parts Show eventually would meet a cool part too big for the studio. For our first episode involving a part this large, we not only traveled to the part, we went inside the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine used to produce it.
Additive Engineering Solutions (AES) of Akron, Ohio, used its BAAM capability to allow Dive Technologies to produce hull sections of its autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) without tooling. Dive’s innovation is a UAV capable of long distances and long missions, such as mapping the ocean floor for a week at a time. The flexibility of producing hull components through 3D printing has allowed the Dive founders to realize another possible for this system: allowing UAV users to adopt hulls with different sizes or shapes as their needs change.
