[AM Utilization Case] From Forged Blocks and Casting to AM: Introduction of Optimized Design
The target product is forged valve! Compared to machining, there are cases where the amount of material waste has been reduced.
We would like to introduce a case where generative design and additive manufacturing (AM) were utilized for valves used in heat exchangers. The product in question is a forged valve, which faced challenges such as poor yield, high costs for small lots, and significant design costs for the forged block. After utilizing AM, we achieved weight reduction compared to conventional products and reduced material waste compared to machining. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - Poor yield and high costs for small lots - Significant design costs for the forged block - The block is very heavy, and if it were lighter, it could reduce the support needed for piping *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
