News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
As from this week the colorFabb team is reinforced with Job Windhorst, as the new COO. Mr. Windhorst is tasked with managing colorFabb’s growth in a sustainable way and making sure the growth scenarios that colorFabb has envisioned can be achieved.
It may have been a little bit low, and the system’s potential may have been somewhat underestimated by its own creators, but that is quite refreshing in a 3D printing crowd funding world that has gone through more than a few bumps. The continuous-production capable BlackBelt 3D printer, which was announced just a couple of weeks ago, smashed through its initial $50K Kickstarter funding goal in just 15 minutes and is now headed toward production.

This year’s Paris Air Show (June 19-25) will see the additive manufacturing and 3D printing solutions company, Stratasys, demonstrate how advances in additive manufacturing are transforming the production of aircraft interior parts. Stratasys will present additive manufacturing solutions that facilitate the 3D printing of FAA- and EASA-certified parts, with a proven track record in improving repeatability, supply chain efficiencies and reducing costs for customers such as Airbus, ULA and others.
Zortrax presents the newest version of the original Z-SUITE software. From now on, Z-SUITE is supporting external printing material profiles. This feature will give users of Zortrax M200 and Zortrax M300 3D printers freedom in experimenting with materials outside of the Zortrax Ecosystem.
Online digital platform RESHAPE has launched the third edition of its innovative tech-oriented design competition. Co-organized by IN(3D)USTRY, a leading international conference on additive manufacturing solutions, and Noumena Studio, RESHAPE 17 | Programmable Skins invites designers from a range of different fields to create innovative wearables that effectively rethink and reinvent conventional clothing in a way that emphasizes the interconnections between users, environment and data—an intersection which is increasingly relevant in our contemporary lives.

PROGOL3D, a service bureau for direct precious metal 3D printing and IED Turin, the European Design Institute, enriched their annual collaboration by launching the first PROGOL3D DESIGN CONTEST, a real competition for creativity.
The Spanish city of Zaragoza has hosted the opening meeting for the European Project BARBARA (Biopolymers with advanced functionalities for building and automotive parts processed through additive manufacturing). This is a 36 month long research project within the European Union Framework Program for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020. With a 2.7 million euros budget, coming nearly exclusively from the EU, it brings together 11 partners from Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden and Belgium. Coordinated by the Aragonese technology centre Aitiip, it envisages developing two prototypes helping demonstrate the prospects offered by that these new materials for key sectors of our economy such as the construction and automotive industries.
Wiring in race cars is becoming more and more complex. Power Units are made up of several parts that need to be integrated into the final assembly. Available space is increasingly limited, so engineers are frequently utilizing flexible parts such as cooling ducts and wiring harnesses. A new innovative SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) Front Air Inlet made with WINDFORM high performance materials can provide a viable solution to these issues.
