MoldJet: Six steps to production-grade metal 3D printed parts Additive Manufacturing
While new additive manufacturing machines are brought to market regularly, it isn’t often that you hear about a new AM process. So you can imagine how interested we were to speak to Israeli metal AM company Tritone about its recently developed MoldJet Technology, which was first unveiled at Formnext 2019. The technology is being brought to market in the Tritone DOMINANT system and offers a new solution for medium-volume production (tens of thousands of parts per year) of metal components. To learn more about the promising AM method and its unique capability, we caught up with Omer Sagi, Vice President of Products and Business Development at Tritone.
Are VICIS’ troubles a fumble for the future of 3D printed helmets? Consumer Products
The potential of using additive manufacturing and lattice structures to improve protective sportswear is becoming increasingly clear. As of last month, what is less clear is the commercial potential of its use—at least for football helmet startup VICIS. The NFL-backed company known for its innovative helmet designs, and which licensed HRL Laboratories’ 3D printed lattices, is coming into 2020 with some serious financial trouble.

Italdron revolutionizes drone production using Carbon Nylon and WASP 3D printing Aerospace
Among the newest generations of products, drones are arguably those that best embody the concept of innovation. Not only for their technical characteristics, but also for the cutting-edge technologies used to develop and build them. As a manufacturing process, 3D printing is increasingly used within the drone production cycle, mainly for prototyping. Italdron, an Italian company specializing in the design and production of innovative commercial drones, has been using 3D printing since 2014 and has further raised the bar by collaborating with WASP for the production of its latest, futuristic models. This latest application case clearly demonstrates how the right AM technology is now mature enough to ensure reliable final components and, at the same time, significantly reduce development times and costs.
