Spotlighting advanced medical manufacturing, GF Machining Solutions will demonstrate its CUT AM 500 horizontal wire EDM at this year’s MD&M West 2022 show, April 12-14.
Visitors to booth #3401 will experience how the patented technology developed for additive component separation, combined with GF Machining Solutions application expertise and other technologies, can optimize medical part manufacturing.
Designed to work alongside GF Machining Solutions additive manufacturing systems or with any other OEM powder bed fusion printers, the CUT AM 500 efficiently and safely separates additive manufactured metal parts from build plates measuring up to 500mm x 500mm. The automation-ready machine offers medical manufacturers an alternative to the use of standard vertical-configured EDM equipment or other cutoff methods, such as band saws, while ensuring geometrical accuracy and assembly readiness.
With the CUT AM 500, manufacturers eliminate issues surrounding the use of band saws, in particular geometric inaccuracy, loss of workpiece material (kerf) and part damage. The CUT AM 500 also provides clean, contamination-free, and damage-free cutting, which is critical in medical part production.
During the show, visitors to the GF Machining Solutions booth can learn more about the company’s new Medical Center of Competency, scheduled to open later this year in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The center, housed in the company’s North American headquarters, will provide medical manufacturers with strategies and technologies for improving production of medical instruments, orthopedic and trauma implants, consumables, dental parts, packaging and more.
