Although easily taken for granted, the results of strenuous fluids engineering envelope our lives. From the cars we drive, the ships that transport our goods, the energy that powers our skyscrapers… highly engineered, efficient fluid systems are the backbone of our economy. We are in a stage where small gains in efficiency can be levered to create massive downstream, positive effects. In this webinar, we discuss two technologies that present step-function increases in capability, and are empowering early adopters with a distinct competitive advantage. Velo3D designs and builds next generation laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) metal 3D printers. These printers, thanks to unique hardware configurations and powerful data processing abilities, are building parts that fluid engineers could only dream of previously. The Sapphire ecosystem – consisting of Flow pre-print software, Sapphire printer, and Assure quality control software – is fulfilling the long overdue promise of metal additive manufacturing. Optimization software, such as SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation or nTopology, is a critical prerequisite to building the most advanced fluid power parts on earth. These design tools assist engineers in sculpting optimum parts for a given application, which can in-turn be built on the Sapphire printer in a matter of hours.
