Guides to 3D Printing Adoption Released by SmarTech Publishing as New Series of Reports Aimed at Production Management 3D Printing Processes
SmarTech Publishing, the leading industry analyst firm covering the 3D printing/additive manufacturing sector, has just announced the launch of a new series of guides to 3D printing adoption aimed at the needs of production management deploying 3D printing in their businesses. Each of the reports in the “Production Manager’s Complete Guide” series covers a different aspect of 3D printing/additive manufacturing. For example, the first report – which has just been published – is a detailed monograph on 3D printing with metalshttps://www.smartechpublishing.com/end-user-reports/the-production-managers-complete-guide-to, one of the hottest topics in the 3DP community. The next two reports in the series will cover (1) prototyping using today’s low-cost 3D printers and (2) how to select between the many kinds of additive manufacturing technologies that are currently available. SmarTech Publishing’s other monographs in this series will appear at regular intervals and each will cover a different topic, each of vital importance to production managers who are contemplating using 3D printing in some area of their firm.

MakerBot Launches METHOD X to Bring Real ABS 3D Printing to Manufacturing
MakerBot is launching METHOD X, a new manufacturing workstation engineered to challenge traditional manufacturing with real ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material for durable parts, a 100°C chamber, and Stratasys SR-30 soluble supports. METHOD X can withstand up to 15°C higher temperatures, is up to 26% more rigid, and up to 12% stronger than modified ABS formulations used on desktop 3D printer competitors. MakerBot assures that Precision ABS parts printed on METHOD X have no warping or cracking that typically occurs when printing modified ABS on desktop platforms without heated chambers.
