Additive Manufacturing Brings Flexibility to Filtrations and Flow Control Component Development
Filtration and flow control systems often require components with unique design geometries, intended to reduce pressure drop and energy consumption during use, that can be difficult, if not impossible to produce using traditional fabrication techniques. To help enable new capabilities for fabrication of filtration and flow control components, global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, supplied its new RenAM 500S Flex machine to Mott Corporation.

00:00:00 [Music] M Corporation was established in 1959 um and it's one of the only filtration brands that offers custom Solutions across all different Industries and markets including clean energy semiconductor chemical processing oil refining Aerospace and defense Healthcare and medical the wanted to look into adate manufacturing as a way
00:00:29 to broaden our design space beyond what our conventional means had offered at the time things like geometrical Freedom where we can create filters with increased surface area which improve their productivity or their efficiency metal additive allows us to get into rapid design iterations to get products into our customers hands sooner they can test proof of concept Parts they can
00:00:50 test a variety of samples through their development phases where some conventional means might not be as as quick to provide that solution so mat has several applications of additive Parts we've just developed over the years um and these span across our differentiated product line everything from filtration to flow control thermal management uh we make these parts in
00:01:09 multiple materials and Alloys and a lot of them rely on consolidation of pieces again the solid Hardware into the porous component and especially leveraging the unique geometries that conventional applications might fall short of being able to create M chose renesha because of it's the flexibility of the systems that they offered the open architecture and
00:01:29 parameter editing um the build schemes and the setups of all those parameters allowed us to have the ultimate freedom in the development of our process for creating engineered paracity U this is something that hadn't been done before uh so in addition to that the support and level of Engagement from the applications Engineers of Renos Shaw was immensely helpful in part of that
00:01:48 process so the a in business right now is kind of a mix between proof of concept prototype development small lot production runs as well as internal R&D efforts so we continue to improve upon our processes come up with new Medias new new levels of performance in addition to supplying our customers with some unique Solutions whether it be at the proof of concept stage something
00:02:08 they've never tried before or have never been able to make or looking into production runs small phase uh field tests to gain more Acceptance in in a production [Music] scenario manufacturers today are looking for opportunities to generate real parts in real Revenue using additive manufacturing mod Corporation is
00:02:35 delivering on those opportunities today mod is producing highly complex Mission critical components that employ engineered paracity and a level of performance that leads the industry and we're happy to be part of that success [Music]
