News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
In the lead up to Formnext 2019, we’re bound to see many companies from across the AM industry unveiling new hardware products, materials and software programs. On the polymer materials front, chemical company Huntsman and 3D printing company Cubicure have today revealed the launch of new 3D printing filaments and resins.
Amastan Technologies will be rebranding as a new company, 6K, which will make its debut at Formnext 2019. As part of its launch, the new company, which develops microwave plasma technology for the production of materials for AM, lithium ion batteries and more, has introduced metal additive manufacturing powders made from sustainable sources. The powders are produced using 6K’s unique UniMelt technology which is capable of transforming certified chemistry machined millings, turnings and other recycled feedstock sources into premium powder for AM.
Alfa Romeo Racing, a Formula One team operated by Sauber Motorsport AG, is furthering its investment in additive manufacturing. The racing team, which already has four operational MetalFAB1 3D printers from Additive Industries, has purchased and installed a Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) system from Swedish company Quintus Technologies.
