Voxel Innovations, an advanced manufacturing company headquartered in Raleigh, NC specializing in pulsed electrochemical machining, or PECM, has relocated to an expanded newly constructed facility in Knightdale, NC, in Q2 2024.

Voxel Innovations是一家总部位于北卡罗来纳州罗利的先进制造公司，专门从事脉冲电化学加工（PECM），已于2024年第二季度迁至北卡罗来纳州奈特代尔的新建扩建工厂。

The move occurred because of an increased demand for Voxel’s PECM technology across its customers’ industries, including the aerospace, medical device, defense, and energy industries. Voxel seeks to constantly improve its PECM process’s capabilities and bandwidth and will utilize this expansion to upgrade its production capabilities as well as its laboratory, testing equipment, and metrology equipment..

此举是因为其客户行业（包括航空航天、医疗器械、国防和能源行业）对体素PECM技术的需求增加。体素寻求不断提高其PECM工艺的能力和带宽，并将利用这一扩展来升级其生产能力以及实验室、测试设备和计量设备。。

Voxel Innovations CEO, Daniel Herrington commented, “Voxel’s growth into our new facility is an important milestone in our growth, allowing us to expand our capacity for both existing and new customers. We are excited for this next chapter in Voxel’s story while also helping to grow the advanced manufacturing industry in the research triangle region of North Carolina.”.

体素创新首席执行官丹尼尔·赫林顿（DanielHerrington）评论道：“体素在我们新工厂的发展是我们发展的一个重要里程碑，使我们能够扩大现有和新客户的产能。我们对体素故事的下一章感到兴奋，同时也有助于发展北卡罗莱纳州三角研究区的先进制造业。”。

PECM is a unique non-thermal, non-contact material removal method using electrochemistry that is capable of creating small features and superfinished surfaces on metallic parts with high repeatability. PECM is best used to produce high-volume, tight-tolerance metal components for critical applications, including turbine blades, nitinol bone fixtures, and microchannel heat exchangers.

PECM是一种独特的非热，非接触材料去除方法，使用电化学，能够在金属零件上产生小特征和超精表面，具有高重复性。PECM最适用于生产用于关键应用的大容量、精密公差金属部件，包括涡轮叶片、镍钛合金骨固定装置和微通道热交换器。

The lack of heat or contact allows the process to disregard material hardness and minimize any wear on the tooling, allowing high-volume machining of exotic alloys..

由于没有热量或接触，因此该工艺可以忽略材料硬度，并将工具上的任何磨损降至最低，从而可以大量加工外来合金。。

Voxel initially developed PECM as a response to engineers struggling to manufacture next-generation critical components for challenging environments that require tough-to-machine materials such as Inconel and refractory metal alloys. Voxel has continuously improved the precision capabilities of its process, discovered proprietary methods to machine new materials, and developed fully automated PECM production lines, machining millions of high-quality parts annually, and seeks to continue this trend in its new facilities..

Voxel最初开发PECM是为了响应工程师努力制造下一代关键部件，以应对需要难加工材料（如铬镍铁合金和难熔金属合金）的挑战性环境。体素不断提高其工艺的精度，发现了加工新材料的专有方法，并开发了全自动PECM生产线，每年加工数百万个高质量零件，并试图在其新设施中继续这一趋势。。
