News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
On the occasion of Ceramitec, held from April 10th to 13th in Munich, 3DCeram-Sinto, a leading 3D ceramic printing system manufacturer (formed as Japan-based Sinto acquired France based 3DCeram), is partnering with German experts DORST Technologies, a major player in technical ceramics (and metal powder processing).
Norman Noble, a leading contract manufacturer of next-generation medical implants, has now implemented metal additive manufacturing capabilities. AM is seen by the company as a manufacturing solution for new product designs that could otherwise not be produced using standard methods. Additive manufactured, 3D printed parts can now be made from metallic based alloys including: titanium, stainless steel and cobalt chrome. The ability to produce additive-manufactured parts from magnesium and nitinol also is currently under development.
We don’t do gossip on 3DPMN. We generally don’t do gossip. However this one is just too good not to report: one of the 3D printing world’s first celebrities, MIT professor, architect and designer Neri Oxman, is reportedly dating one of Hollywood’s top stars, who is also – incidentally – an architect.
Following the publication of the final report from the Danish Partnership for 3D Construction Printing, 3D Printhuset presented the findings in Saudi Arabia at The Big 5 construction conference, in Slovakia at Smart Building 2018, the leading construction conference in the country, and at the BIM Nordic conference in Copenhagen. The Danish company intends to make more presentations in April. 3D Printhuset argues that several recent undocumented claims about buildings completed in 24 hours and skyscrapers to be printed soon are fueling the interest in obtaining more objective information.
Webert is an Italian high-end bathroom product design studio and, like other high-end design companies, has begun toying around with metal AM for production. The revolutionary and unique One Series is the new Webert 3D printed faucet collection that leverages stainless steel 316 to integrate the extraordinary geometric potential of AM technology in interior design.
BigRep and Etihad Airways Engineering have announced plans to collaborate to define a roadmap for the development of the next generation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) solutions for the aerospace industry.
Francesco Colorni and Massimo Temporelli were among the first to embrace the personal manufacturing vision and found a Fablab in Europe. Their early vision, together with third partner Bernardo Gamucci, evolved into TheFabLab – Make it Real and, recently, they opened a new The FabLab laboratory in Turin. From the very beginning they focused on presenting themselves as a serious partner for larger companies, both for prototyping and out-of-the-box thinking. This led to a successful partnership with Magneti Marelli among several other high profile projects.

The 3MF Consortium (3MF) ratified and released its Beam Lattice Specification Extension to its 3MF Core Specification today. The 3MF Beam Lattice extension is a new method for storing and transferring lattice-type geometry information. By providing support for beam lattices, 3MF solves a significant interoperability issue for the additive manufacturing industry and provides an elegant solution to a problem that is not easily addressed in other file formats. The benefits of using 3MF’s Beam Lattice Extension in additive manufacturing are significant and broad and include improved design flexibility, lower material costs and reduced production time.
