FluidForm to Attend RAPID + TCT 2019 Additive Manufacturing Event

Now Scheduling Appointments/Interviews to be held during the Event

FluidForm, a start-up that is defining the future of additive manufacturing, will attend RAPID + TCT 2019, at the Cobo Center in Detroit, May 20-23. FluidForm will exhibit with ARMI | BioFabUSA in the Medical Manufacturing Innovation Collaboration Center, located at Hall B.


With its commitment to expanding the capability of 3D printing, FluidForm is revolutionizing the field of additive manufacturing by radically expanding the types and combinations of materials that can be 3D printed. A live demo and videos that demonstrate the company's capabilities and innovations will be presented at the event.

Additionally, FluidForm will show a 3D printed brain as part of the Medical Manufacturing display showcase, illustrating the latest medical applications of additive manufacturing/3D printing. The FRESH printed human brain was developed using MR imaging, and demonstrates the ability to guide personalized manufacturing of tissue scaffolds for future applications in repair and regeneration.

For decades, 3D printing has been limited to a select number of metals, ceramics and plastics that solidify through transient heating or photo-crosslinking. Soft materials, such as silicones and epoxies, and those that take longer to solidify or flow under the effect of gravity, are more challenging and cannot be effectively 3D printed.

FluidForm is overcoming these challenges with its patented Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH™). This innovative 3D printing technology provides access to new materials, new design strategies and new applications.

FluidForm's patented approach of printing within a support gel, rather than in air, eliminates the effects of gravity and thus expands the materials than can be used. Printed materials are supported in 3D, allowing the design and fabrication of unlimited geometries and multiple materials embedded within one another in a single print. Once printed and cured, the printed construct is gently removed from the gel. FluidForm's FRESH multi-material technology enables printing of silicones, urethanes, epoxies, liquid metals, biologic materials and much more, serving as the manufacturing platform to revolutionize diverse fields, from aerospace to wearable sensors to regenerative medicine.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
