News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Just one week after partnering with Zbrush on in-app 3D printing, Sculpteo is now collaborating with Sony to mark the launch of the new Sony Xperia XZ1. Through the application “3D creator” of the new Xperia XZ1, users will be able to have Sculpteo’s online service 3D print the 3D scans they will create using their smartphone.
Leading machine tool manufacturer and Industry 4.0 pioneer TRUMPF has opened a new technology center and smart factory in Chicago. It is the first smart factory for Industry 4.0 solutions that was designed for digitally connected production processes throughout. Investments for the facility, which covers more than 50,000 square feet, totaled 13 million euros in construction investment and 13 million euros in equipment investment.
Building upon the expertise gathered from several fields of 3D printing research, the University of Pécs, Hungary, has been building a unique multidisciplinary 3D printing hub . In 2014, it established the PTE 3D Project, as a result of a regional strategic policy proposed by the University’s Rector. Headed by Dr. Miklós Nyitrai, the PTE 3D Project launched the first International 3D Conference in 2015. The success of the first two editions has led to the Third International Interdisciplinary 3D Conference, which will be held on October 5th and 6th, at the University’s Szentágothai János Research Center.
With an impressive 50 percent increase in the number of exhibitors compared to last year, formnext powered by tct 2017 continues its strong growth trend. The formnext exhibition, which is scheduled to take place for the third time on 14-17 November 2017 in Frankfurt am Main, also sets new standards thanks to its strong international presence, exceptional variety of global market leaders, and sheer density of innovations from areas along the entire process chain. A multifaceted and innovative program of supporting events provides extra added value.
This year’s Professional MotorSport World Expo in Cologne (15- 17 Nov) will see global leader in applied additive technologies, Stratasys, demonstrate how the integration of its 3D printing solutions throughout design and production is enabling race teams and automotive manufacturers to accelerate vehicle development and transform the manufacture of composites for lighter race cars – all at reduced costs.
Nano Dimension is launching the new and upgraded DragonFly 2020 Pro electronics 3D Printer. With the DragonFly 2020 Pro, many of the complexities and bottlenecks inherent in printed circuit board (PCB) prototyping are removed, enabling companies involved in developing electronics to take control of their development cycles and realize the benefits of fast, secure and cost-effective agile electronics development. Designers and engineers can now innovate rapidly from proof of concept, through design validation to test fixtures, by 3D printing their own multilayer PCBs.
The Lisa desktop SLS 3D printer by Sinterit is one of the most widely available desktop printers in the world. Launched by a small Polish company just a few years ago, the system has come a long way and is now ideally set up to compete in the ensuing race for dominance of the […]
Materialise NV announced today that U.S. patients can now benefit from their patient-specific implants, 3D-printed in titanium for maxillofacial surgery. As the first 3D-printed titanium maxillofacial implants to receive clearance for the U.S. market, the decision marks a further extension to Materialise’s longstanding collaboration with DePuy Synthes, who will distribute the device in the U.S.

Monash University engineers have designed, printed, and test-fired a rocket engine. The new rocket engine is a unique aerospike design that turns the traditional engine shape inside out. Two years ago, Monash University researchers and their partners were the first in the world to print a jet engine, based on existing engine design. That work led to Monash spin-out company Amaero winning contracts with major aerospace companies around the world.
