News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Stratasys announced that specialist automotive service bureau, Skorpion Engineering, is producing complex automotive prototypes 50% faster than would be achievable through traditional methods.
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.
3D Platform marked a major milestone earlier this month when the company shipped its 500th large format 3D printer — in just three years.
As a result of the growing need within the AM industry to implement efficient material handling solutions, Russell Finex has applied over 80 years of experience in manufacturing sieving and separation solutions to develop the award-winning Russell AMPro Sieve Station – the first system of its kind – to ensure a key industry need is met: guaranteeing the powder handling process is fully controllable, repeatable and with minimal operator involvement.

In an interesting case study, Formlabs reported on how Aaron Sims, founder and president of Aaron Sims Creative (ASC), an up-and-coming visual effects (VFX) and design studio in Burbank (alongside large, established companies like Weta and ILM) use a Form2 3D printer to bring to life the monster in season one of hit TV series Stranger Things. Apparently he is not the only one 3D printing a demogorgon.. or a demodog.
Small satellites provide a responsive alternative to larger, more expensive satellites. As demand grows, engineers must adapt these “nanosatellites” or CubeSats to provide new achievements and goals. One of these achievements is deploying a TubeSat from the International Space Station (ISS). TubeSats are cylindrical and are not compatible with normal CubeSats deployer platform (P-POD) on the ISS. Thus, an innovative nano-satellite, TuPOD (Tubesat-POD), was developed to address the challenge.
TRUMPF presented what it considers the world’s fastest and most productive medium-format laser powder bed fusion 3D printing system at the formnext trade fair in Frankfurt. The TruPrint 5000 works according to a multi-laser principle with three beam sources and is equipped with optics specially designed by TRUMPF.
