Why Cascading Connections Redefine Metal 3D Printing
Unlike the traditional layer-by-layer approach, Cascading connection Represents the paradigm transfer of metal AM. Although the details of proprietary technology are still strictly protected, its core advantage lies in the intelligently synchronized multi-process system. Imagine a series of carefully coordinated printing phases working in harmony. This carefully planned approach enhances:
- Layer adhesion and density: By optimizing the energy delivery and material fusion kinetics between layers, Cascade Connect achieves nearly theoretical density. This minimizes internal porosity – a common trap in metal AM – resulting in some mechanical properties (tensile strength, fatigue resistance) closer to forged metals.
- Surface integrity and detail resolution: Accuracy is not sacrificed at speed. This technology enables exceptionally excellent functional reproduction and smoother fixed surfaces, reducing the time and cost associated with secondary finishes for many applications.
- Production speed: Interconnected cascades significantly reduce interdependence between printing stages, thus making the flow more continuous. This translates into faster build times and higher throughput compared to many traditional metal AM systems.
- Process stability and repeatability: Complex in-situ monitoring integrated into the Cascade Connect system ensures real-time feedback and control. This minimizes variability, improves partial consistency, and ensures reliable production of mission-critical components.
