3D Printing
Plastic 3D Printing is one of the fastest and most cost-efficient methods for iterative design, prototyping, and customizable products.
CNC Machining
Accurate CNC milling and turning processes with low-cost and fast turnaround time to deliver high quality, on-demand parts.
Injection Molding
Produces end products in various quantity(500 to 100,000+) and low unit cost with Plastic Injection and Metal Injection
Urethane Casting
Produces end-use, rigid or flexible plastic parts with high durability, fast lead times, and production-level quality.
Metal 3D Printing
Ideal for metal parts with very complex geometries or customizable features. Industrial grade printers and multi-functional materials.
Sheet Fabrication
Metal bending, punching, laser cutting, stamping and plastic thermal forming, ranging from prototyping to mass production.
Metal Casting
Produce small batched parts with investment casting and mass production with die casting or forging.

BluRhapsody 3D printed pasta by Barilla now available to buy Food 3D Printing
Remember the ‘SMART PASTA – 3D Shapes with a Purpose’ contest orchestrated by Barilla in 2015? The winners of this contest produced some really interestingly-designed pasta forms – for example, the ‘Water Lilly’, designed by Cornelius Comanns. Now, after several years of research & development, the first 15 designs of 3D printed pasta are commercially available on the BluRhapsody website’s shop and are already being used by chefs – especially in Italy to create high end custom dishes.
3D-Hybrid Introduces CNC-to-AM Adapter Tool to 3D Print Metal Parts 3D Printer Hardware
Los Angeles based 3D-Hybrid introduced a new revolutionary tool that aims to simplify metal additive manufacturing (AM) by turning existing CNC (metal-cutting) machines into metal arc-welding, laser metal deposition or cold spray 3D printers. The tools lower the cost of metal AM, increase speed, and offer new capabilities like multi-material parts.
EOS adopts Materialise CO-AM software platform AM Software
EOS, a leading technology supplier of additive manufacturing solutions, has adopted the Materialise CO-AM software platform to manage its AM processes for application engineering and internal sinter production. CO-AM integrates with EOS’ existing infrastructure and will be used to improve the efficiency of AM production across the company’s global facilities.
ICE’s 3D printed cable car station is complete Construction 3D Printing
Last September, we told you that the Czech construction company ICE was building the world’s first 3D printed cable car station. As ambitious and possibly far-fetched as that may have seemed, that project, the highest 3D-printed building, is now complete. The cable car station, designed by ATELIER3M, combines innovative design with sustainability, this project integrates prefabrication and on-site production to create a dynamic, functional structure that harmonizes with its natural surroundings.
Top 10 highlights from the In3Dustry 2019 show in Barcelona 3D Printing Events
Fira de Barcelona is one of the premier show organizers in Europe and in the World. Now in its third year, the In3Dustry show represents its bet on AM as the future of manufacturing and a window for companies to address local markets and the larger Southern European industrial area. In3Dustry 2019 offered quite a few interesting AM scenarios, products and ideas, originating from both the local Catalunya area and other European regions. These are ten reasons that made it definitely worth it to attend.
GE: faster computing needed for 3D printing to truly benefit from AI AM Software
At the recent AI Accelerator Summit in Boston, Additive Leader at GE Global Research Brent Brunell addressed the growing need for AI-enabled applications within the context of industrial metal 3D printing. With an audience made up of some of the leading hardware and chip innovators in the tech industry, Brunell explained that in order for metal AM to be broadly industrialized, the sector needs faster computing capabilities and more computational power.
ICON awarded $57.2 million from NASA for in-space construction Aerospace
ICON, a leader in advanced construction technologies and large-scale 3D printing, received a contract awarded under Phase III of NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The nearly $60 million contract builds upon previous NASA and Department of Defense funding for ICON’s Project Olympus to research and develop space-based construction systems to support the planned exploration of the Moon and beyond. ICON’s ‘Olympus’ system is intended to be a multi-purpose construction system primarily using local Lunar and Martian resources as building materials to further the efforts of NASA, as well as commercial organizations, to establish a sustained lunar presence.
Czech Republic to welcome first 3D printed house, and it floats! Sustainability
The Czech Republic is preparing to break ground on its first 3D printed house next month. The stylish housing structure was designed by Michal Trpak of sculptural architectural studio Scoolpt, and will be constructed in collaboration with the Stavebni sporitelna Ceske sporitelny (Buřinka) building society. The 3D printed house, whose most distinguishing feature is that it floats, demonstrates how 3D printing technologies can be used to create housing more sustainably than traditional means.
