News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
On the occasion of the formnext trade show in Frankfurt, BigRep and BASF are finalizing a strategic alliance to jointly develop 3D printing solutions, aimed at accelerating the wholesale introduction of additive manufacturing technologies into industrial applications.
GE Additive today unveiled the first BETA machine developed as part of its Project A.T.L.A.S ...
Authentise, a leader in process automation software for additive manufacturing data connectivity, today announced that it has connected to and receives data from more additive manufacturing device types than any other software developer.
EnvisionTEC unveiled two larger versions of its popular models, the Perfactory 4 and high-speed cDLM, to support even more throughput. The new models are on display at formnext through Friday, Nov. 17.
For more than 60 years, HRL‘s scientists and engineers have been on the leading edge of technology, conducting pioneering research, providing real-world technology solutions, and advancing the state of the art. The firm continues to be recognized as one of the world’s premier physical science and engineering research laboratories.
After three years of research and hard work, XYZprinting is introducing a new complete range of 3D printers, starting with its da Vinci Color, the world’s first full-colour 3D printer that uses 3D ColorJet technology, which combines inkjet printing with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing. The impressive new line up goes on to include the brand new PartPro350 xBC binder jetting, MfgPro230 xS SLS system and segment-specific DLP systems, for a full industrial 3D printing offer.
Stratasys worked with the University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten in Germany is developing a first-of-its kind 3D printed self-balancing scooter with Stratasys additive technologies. Tasked with “thinking additively” to achieve true customization, the students built the entire product development process for the scooter around additive manufacturing. As a result, the team produced the first fully-functional prototype 85% faster compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
Perstorp and 3D4Makers are developing a new generation of high quality, high performance filament. As the world’s first fifth-generation 3D filament, Facilan enables applications previously unobtainable with other 3D printing materials. Developed jointly by Perstorp and 3D4makers, Facilan delivers fit-for-purpose filaments for 3D additive manufacturing. Currently comprising three materials, the Facilan portfolio is designed to meet the toughest requirements for a wide range of medical and manufacturing products.
HP continues to expand its 3D printing portfolio with the announcement of the new HP Jet Fusion 3D 4210 Printing Solution. Designed for industrial-scale 3D manufacturing environments, the new solution significantly lowers overall operating costs while increasing production volume capabilities, raising the “break-even point” for large-scale 3D manufacturing to up to 110,000 parts and enabling the industry’s lowest cost-per-part (CPP) – up to 65% less than other 3D printing methods. Existing Jet Fusion customers can pre-order the 3D 4210 Printing Solution upgrade today, and new customers can purchase Jet Fusion systems now with the option to pre-order the 4210 system upgrade.
Roboze is launching a new high impact polymer extrusion (FFF) 3D printing solution that will enable production of high end finished parts for industrial, aerospace and automotive sectors, meeting ever-growing demand for high performance machines and consumables. The new machine, named ARGO 500, will be presented at formnext, with a global preview that will kick off the first series of Roboze systems targeted at industrial production.
