Design Rules for Metal Additive Manufacturing

 We get asked this a lot, so we created a basic graphic to show design considerations for metal additive manufacturing below. There's always exceptions, but this is still legitimate for 90% of builds.

NAMPros Picking Up the Pace!

Hello Friends and Colleagues! We now have three machines running with 250x250x280mm metal capability, and have added an HB400 wire EDM for fast part removal. Our current alloy suite includes NASA alloys GRX810 and GRCop42, as well as aerospace alloys Inconel and Stainless Steel. We can quote you a part or complete rental of a dedicated machine by-the-month so you can make as much as you want! Drop us a line and we'll get something cooking for you: info@nampros.biz

NAMPros Expands Capability

Cheers, Friends and Colleagues! In keeping with our "post-every-two-years" blog, we just wanted to do an update to let you know our capability continues to grow to include in-house 250x250x280mm manufacturing in your favorite alloys and some new ones on the research bench that you may not have heard of yet. We are still partnered with AME with two 400mm platforms running exclusively GRCop-42 at the moment, with strong rumors of a third large machine coming on line there as well. Thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to making something for you soon! 

AME Partner Installs Second EOS 400mm Machine

NAMPros congratulates our partner, Additive Manufacturing & Engineering, on their installation of a second EOS M400 machine that NAMPros operates.  This now gives large-frame (~16-inch)  Inconel/Steel capability in addition to their existing large-frame GRCop42 copper material capacity.

Make Some Metal

Congrats, you did it!  You mustered up the funds and bought that high-end metal 3d printer that you know is going to make you a gazillionaire in no time at all. Now what? Parts are crashing, powder needs sifting, flammable filters need changed, dirty lenses, sensors failing, inconsistent properties across the build plate, and, by the by, how do you get these parts off the build plate? Stress relief, heat treat, huh? This part's burnt on the bottom, this one's got porosity, that one warped...what the heck?
It's OK, we've felt your pain, with over 25 years operator experience, we've just about seen it all...and figured out how to fix it. We're Advanced User vendor certified on 3D Systems, GE/Concept Laser, EOS, and Arcam equipment, but we're not afraid to tackle new makes and models as well. Best part is, you don't have to put us on your employment rolls to get our help - we'll subcontract in to operate  your metal 3d printers on a straight hourly rate...if the machine's running, we get paid, if it's not, we don't.
So, take a load off, get back out there to sell your capability, and let us make your machines work for you. Currently serving the North Alabama/Tennessee area.
