Last November 22nd, 2017, the official opening ceremony of the “HONDA MEETS FABLAB” contest took place in the Cenacle Hall of the Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo Da Vinci. Presented by Davide Sher (3D Printing Business Media), the event was held from 2 p.m to 5.30, in a series of live webinar talks, which gave the active European Fablabs a chance to participate directly. 3D Printing Business Media was the official media partners for this unique and groundbreaking initiative.
The AM industry is unique in many ways but one of those ways is how innovation is not just coming from the very top of the pyramid but also from the base. This young industrial segment is still far from consolidating in the hands of just a few major players as most mature industrial segments have for several decades. We are at the dawn of a new industrial revolution, however a revolution of this magnitude takes decades to complete. The best part in the beginning anything new is the galactic chaos formed by a growing number fragments which will eventually disappear or gravitate toward larger stars and galaxies. On this front there were many good news from formnext 2017.

Shining 3D is one of the leading 3D scanning and 3D printing system manufacturer in China. The company has been investing significantly in innovation and now offers a wider range of 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies than any other company in the world. In a Chinese medical 3D printing market that is literally booming, the company is carving a leading role for itself as a provider of 3D solutions to the medical sector – including healthcare, dental and bioprinting applications – with all the challenges that this may bring to a still relatively young company. We spoke with the company’s marketing director Icy Xie about the state and significant growth potential of the Chinese medical 3D printing market as well as the challenges that both Shining 3D and foreign companies may face when addressing this segment.
The 3D printing industry is transitioning toward automated production. While this trend has been evident for the past few years, the latest formnext trade show has made it even clearer, with a huge focus post-production, materials, and part handling units filling the halls to support faster and more productive 3D printers. Few companies have expressed this vision as clearly as DWS, with its new, all-in-one XCELL system.
Remember the Barilla 3D printer? What remains of that is the memory of a great experiment and an even greater marketing stunt. Now BluRhapsody, a spin-off project born from Barilla’s R&D research, aims to create a service for chefs and events selling customized pasta3D. Based in Parma, it is the first startup from Blu1877. The Blue Rhapsody website should be online by the end of November/early December.
ANSYS, a global leader and innovator of engineering simulation software, announced today that it has acquired 3DSIM, the developer of premier additive manufacturing simulation technology. The acquisition of additive manufacturing simulation leader 3DSIM gives ANSYS the industry’s only complete additive manufacturing simulation workflow. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
