GE Healthcare has opened the first 3D printing center in Europe

Abstract: GE Healthcare has opened the first 3D printing laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden, which is called the European Center for innovative design and advanced manufacturing technology. The center will adopt 3D printing and robot technology to accelerate the launch of new innovative products in the health care industry

ge healthcare opened its first 3D printing laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden, which is called the European Center for innovative design and advanced manufacturing technology. The center will adopt 3D printing and robot technology to accelerate the launch of new innovative products in the health care industry

the center combines advanced manufacturing technologies, such as metal and polymer printers and collaborative robots, or "cobots", with traditional processing equipment. The key to realizing the advantages of 3D printing is to ensure that technology is considered at the beginning of the innovation process, and the R & D and design team cooperates with advanced manufacturing engineers and communicates with customers in a timely manner. The new center in Uppsala will ensure that additive manufacturing expertise can be obtained from the beginning of product design. The team will design, test and produce 3D printing parts for GE Healthcare Products, and prepare for the final transfer to manufacturing

advanced manufacturing technologies, such as 3D printing, can bring significant benefits to the manufacturing process. For example, from the perspective of national policies, 3D printing can combine 20 components into one component and improve performance. Reducing parts in the manufacturing process can benefit the manufacturing industry (such as the manufacturing industry), in which the process and manufacturing equipment are complex and consist of hundreds of different parts

andreas marcstrom, additive manufacturing engineering manager at Uppsala station of GE Healthcare, explained, "we are exploring opportunities for additive manufacturing to bring cost savings and technological improvements to our supply chain and products. "Simply printing parts does not really provide much improvement for products or processes. You must rethink the whole design - to do this, you need the R & D team and your additive manufacturing engineers to work from the development process - our center in Uppsala ensures this critical step. "

Ge is cooperating with biotechnology to test the performance of chromatographic columns, develop biological drugs for complex processes, and a series of drugs for treating diseases, including cancer and immune diseases. 3D printing columns have been customized, and now a set of three corner loading device is being tested to see whether it can be used in biotechnology research, so as to help develop improved biopharmaceutical production and purification stage Cheng

ge healthcare advanced manufacturing engineering team has also developed and compiled a number of cobots, which have been installed in GE Healthcare plants around the world and improved the efficiency of the production line. These factories will combine continuous improvement and digitalization to operate more efficiently and with higher quality

Uppsala's center joins other advanced manufacturing and engineering centers of GE Healthcare, headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Uppsala will work with the Milwaukee center team to share knowledge and develop new design ideas

ge healthcare is one of the six Ge enterprises that currently use additive manufacturing applications. GE10. Experimental report: the experimental report can be programmed and printed according to the pattern of user needs, hoping to increase its new additive manufacturing business to $1billion by 2020; Ge additional plans to sell 10000 3D printing devices in the next 10 years with different force values of the tensile testing machine
