This was the typical response I would get as a junior from my old machinist when I asked him to hold some exotic design straight off the 3D printer. He came from an era when CNC was still a buzzword, and engineers prided themselves on reading analogue micrometers with precision.
The grimace on his face when I would hand over something that resembled a twisted steel pretzel and ask him to machine it. These days, I can picture him bursting a blood vessel trying to figure out how to clean up some faces on an Electron Beam Melted (EBM) Titanium additively manufactured part. Try saying that with a straight face after a few pints.
But this wasn't the reaction I got when I handed my machinist at Fyous the EBM Titanium bike stems courtesy of Metron Additive Engineering, he didn't swear or storm out. Instead, Metron had given us the opportunity to showcase how our PolyMorphic tooling could drastically reduce post-processing times for complex geometries. Workholding that traditionally would have been a nightmare was solved in 2 minutes using our tooling, which is also 100% reusable. It was a game-changer.
Maybe my old machinist would have been more relaxed if Fyous had been around back then. Why not give your machinist at your company the best gift this year - ultimate workholding that saves headaches and money?
At Fyous, we are redefining manufacturing with our cutting-edge PolyMorphic tooling technology. If you’re working with metal 3D printed or additive parts, you know that post-processing is often complex, time-consuming, and costly. That's where we step in.
Our PolyMorphic Forming Machine offers a revolutionary solution for post-processing metal 3D printed parts. By using reconfigurable pin tooling, we can quickly and cost-effectively create custom fixtures to hold and process both large and small intricate metal parts with precision. This eliminates the need for traditional workholding methods and disposable tooling, significantly accelerating your post-processing workflow.
Key Benefits:
-
Precision & Speed: With our PolyMorphic Forming Machine, reduce processing time by up to 14 times compared to conventional methods.
-
Zero Waste: Our technology is built with sustainability in mind, offering a zero-waste approach that handles your metal parts efficiently, reducing environmental impact.
-
Cost-Effective: Streamline your workflow and minimise costs associated with traditional post-processing techniques.
The Process:
-
Pin Form Creation: Using our PinPoint software, you can easily generate the required tooling for your part by mapping the surface of your metal additive piece.
-
Forming: The PolyMorphic Forming Machine reconfigures thousands of pins to securely hold your part, creating a custom fixture that matches the metal print precisely.
-
Post-Processing: Whether you need machining, sanding, or any other type of finishing, our system provides optimal stability and precision, allowing you to focus on the finer details without fuss.
