News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
As the AM wave continues to grow in Japan, Tokyo-based JEOL released its new JAM-5200EBM electron beam melting metal AM system. The company, which specializes in scientific metrology systems (including electron microscopes) leveraged its know-how of electron microscopes and electron beam lithography systems for semiconductor manufacturing, to develop a new EBM system with higher power, higher density and higher speed.
Danish robot 3D construction printer company COBOD International A / S, which produces large 3D printers for robot printing of buildings and wind turbine towers in concrete, submitted the financial accounts for 2020, which show that COBOD fiscal 2020 results generated profits of 9.3 million DKK (about €125,000), being profitable for the second year in a row after growing almost 100% (from 4.9 million DKK, about €65,000).
Nexa3D, launched its NXD200, a new dental lab 3D printer. NXD200 3D printer features patented LSPc technology that combines a large build area, print uniformity, advanced process algorithms, modular design for on-site automation, and intelligent optimization. The NXD200 is available with all of Keystone’s KeyPrint resins, including KeySplint Soft which delivers a combination of strength to protect teeth and flexibility for improved patient comfort, all with a transparent and aesthetic appearance.
For agile businesses, development time and time to market are critical when developing products. Prototyping and manufacture using injection molding can be expensive, rigid and slow when it comes to releasing product ranges; so naturally, it is better to start with solutions that are more adaptive and cost-effective.
PRIMAEAM (pronounced as “PREMIUM”), a new entrant to Additive Manufacturing in India, is betting on GE Additive’s Electron Beam Melting technology. The company, which already provides polymer 3D printing services with FDM and MJF technology, just installed a new Arcam Q10 system.

We’ll admit that most of us wouldn’t get too far on a skateboard, but that doesn’t mean we can’t ...
Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine used a 3D bioprinter to fabricate a Biomesh using a polymer called phosphate cross-linked poly (vinyl alcohol) polymer (X-PVA) for an innovative new treatment of hernias. The complete study was published in Advanced Materials.
Based in Charleston, South Carolina, the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center is seeking approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its 3D printed hearing aids.
With a story published on April 1st (but we performed all the necessary anti-April Fools checks and can now confirm it), researchers in USC Viterbi’s Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering have revealed a low-cost reusable support method based on a dynamic 3D printing platform which reduces the need for wasteful supports in material extrusion/deposition, vastly improving cost-effectiveness and sustainability for 3D printing.
