EWI, an engineering and technology provider of advanced manufacturing in North America, has selected Granta Design's GRANTA MI software to better coordinate its additive manufacturing (AM) work across multiple AM platforms. The software system is currently being deployed. GRANTA MI is made for enterprise materials information management. EWI’s engineering services aim to help companies identify, develop, and implement the best options for their specific applications. Defining a strategy to capture and characterize material information across different AM platforms is currently a challenge. Every AM machine monitors different metrics, and exports data differently. EWI is meeting this challenge by defining the…

…on 3D printing. America Makes, the 3MF Consortium, and EWI’s Additive Manufacturing Consortium, among others, have similar aims. What makes ADAPT different, according to Quinlan, will be the ability to leverage MIT’s research facilities and educational resources. According to Quinlan, initial efforts of ADAPT will include providing seed funding for new research projects at MIT and establishing a new advanced additive manufacturing laboratory there. Membership fees can be pooled to fund advanced research through ADAPT. “We’re very overhead-light, so the money paid in can be used for research and we can maximize our operating budget in that way,” Quinlan says.…
