‘Tis the Season for Low-cost SLS Benchtop 3D Printers 3D Printer Hardware

It has been in the making for almost four years, since the original patent expired in February 2014, now the time seems to have arrived for low-cost SLS systems to take over the benchtop and the prosumer 3D printing market. Four years seems to be the necessary time period to bring a new technology to market: it took about this long to HP for its multijet fusion and for low cost filament extrusion (FFF) to go from a few scattered maker’s projects to a young industry.

APWORKS and EOS Lead 3i-PRINT Project to Demonstrate the Potential of AM for Automotive Additive Manufacturing

APWORKS and EOS Lead 3i-PRINT Project to Demonstrate the Potential of AM for Automotive Additive Manufacturing

Altair, APWORKS, csi entwicklungstechnik, EOS GmbH, GERG, and Heraeus have used the front-end structure of a classic VW Caddy to demonstrate the full potential of industrial 3D printing within the automotive industry. The structure is very light, stable, and, at the same time, features a high degree of functional integration. In this joint development project known as 3i-PRINT, the involved companies covered every development step of the process, from design, simulation, optimization and manufacturing to post production of the part. From conceptual design to final vehicle, the project was completed in only nine months.
