Morf3D is already an up and running Service Bureau with the following in-house capabilities:
Full Life Cycle Solutions
Distinguishing Morf3D from the traditional Additive Manufacturing Service Bureaus, we extend our novel approach of “doing it with you” or “doing it for you”. Interested in seeing how the part was built? We’ll show you! Our goal and chief objective is to develop meaningful and collaborative partnerships to drive the adoption of Additive Manufacturing.
Our experienced engineers define the optimum processing parameters unique to each engineering design that depends on material, geometry, desired properties and tolerances. We offer the following Additive
Manufacturing processes: Direct Metal Laser Sintering Electron Beam Melting
And the following materials: Aluminum – AlSi10mg Titanium – Ti64 Inconel – 718 and 625 Stainless steel
Post Processing Morf3D delivers Additive Manufactured parts that meet the highest geometric quality standards in the field. This is achieved through a selection of the following post-processing steps:
Support structure removal Surface finishing Hand polishing Media blasting Stress relieving (annealing) Hot Isostatic Pressing
Component Quality Verification A distinguishing feature of Morf3D’s vision is to deliver more than a shape that mimics a CAD file. Equally important to the geometric fidelity of the AM part fabricated is its material and mechanical quality. Morf3D’s team of expert engineers and material scientists verify the mechanical and material integrity of the AM component prior to delivery by performing a selection (dependent on the expected use of the component) of tests with coupons fabricated during the build that analyze and verify the following characteristics:
My read of the PR is that Morf3D will be offering manufacturing design solutions to their existing customers that include the use of PrintRite on their customer's AD machines "to provide a means for customers to increase AM production rates while ensuring consistent part quality." This means revenues to Sigma for PrintRite licenses.
The second part is the "in-house manufacturing of parts". It appears to me that Morf3D already has significant in-house manufacturing capabilities in their New Additive Manufacturing Innovation Center which was launched in Oct 2015.
