“Ron has been a joy working with over the years. He has helped me and the rest of the PVHT Team to make the most of using the Bluestreak system for our business processing, job tracking and production control needs. I joke that he and the Bluestreak team put in all the work to make me look good at PVHT, but it's not a joke, it's true. With Bluestreak we can serve our customers with excellence because access to the right information makes all the difference. Speak with Ron sometime about the merits of using Bluestreak in your production facility.”

Heat Treating, Additive Manufacturing, and Serialization
Heat Treat Today
Additive manufacturing has been advancing rapidly over the last few years and has been used by a wide variety of companies to quickly produce working prototypes and parts. Just as with casting or machining metal parts, a series of post-processing heat treatments are required to reduce the part’s internal stresses, increase its density, and even help develop the final shape, finish, and necessary physical properties. The relationship between heat treatment and 3D printing has been proven not…
Additive manufacturing has been advancing rapidly over the last few years and has been used by a wide variety of companies to quickly produce working prototypes and parts. Just as with casting or machining metal parts, a series of post-processing heat treatments are required to reduce the part’s internal stresses, increase its density, and even help develop the final shape, finish, and necessary physical properties. The relationship between heat treatment and 3D printing has been proven not only to be beneficial but is now a definite part-specification requirement in many cases, as the heat treatment of 3D printed projects has been shown to dramatically increase the strength and stiffness of certain parts.

Part 4: Improving the Customer Experience to Drive Revenue and Save Costs
Even in this day and age, some people still need convincing that improving the customer experience actually generates more revenue and saves on costs. Many studies have been done on this topic over years past, along with more recent articles, speeches, books, and blog posts. It made me wonder why people still question this.
