The Optomec LENS family offers a full range of additive manufacturing solutions for creating, enhancing, and repairing metal components using high-powered lasers to build structures layer by layer directly from powdered metals, alloys, ceramics, or composites. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">\u201cThe agreement enables Phillips to continue to provide the best additive manufacturing solutions to maintain the readiness of the military and advance the research and development of new innovations and ideas throughout our government,\u201d says John Harrison, Vice President of Phillips Federal. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">Optomec LENS systems use a form of metal 3D printing known as Directed Energy Deposition (DED), which is complementary to the more common form of metal printing called Powder Bed Fusion (PBF), or Selective Laser Melting (SLM). By means of DED, the LENS system is able to print full parts at a fraction of the time and cost of systems based on PBF\/SLM, yet with better material and mechanical properties and less material waste. Additionally, LENS is uniquely able to add metal to existing parts for repair and coating applications that cost-effectively extend the useful life of components. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">\u201cOur partnership with Phillips Federal will take the LENS technology to U.S. government facilities, enabling them to achieve multiple strategic objectives. Additive manufacturing technology will improve maintenance and repair operations, get equipment operational faster, and improve supply chain capability, all at significantly lower cost than traditional methods,\u201d says Jamie Hanson, VP of Business Development at Optomec. \u201cPhillips has a very long and successful track record of working closely with customers to achieve their objectives, and together with Optomec, we expect to make a significant impact.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Foptomec.com&amp;esheet=51926741&amp;newsitemid=20190116005581&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=http%3A%2F%2Foptomec.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=5d775d2acad05bba7d2622961b5e3d25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/optomec.com<\/a><\/span>&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Optomec, Albuquerque, N.M., has signed a partnership agreement with Phillips Federal that will enable Phillips to resell the Optomec Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) systems to U.S. government facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[444,440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aerospace-and-defense","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
