Impossible-Objects shows its CBAM system for 3D printed composites 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

After a long incubation, Impossible-Objects finally showed the first system based on its new composite additive manufacturing technology (CBAM). The 3D printer uses a process different from any other current AM technologies and makes functional, fiber-reinforced parts at production speeds scaling to minutes or seconds. CBAM works with the widest range of materials, such as fiber fabrics including carbon, glass and Kevlar, and polymers including polyamides and PEEK. Its goal is to replace conventional manufacturing techniques while offering greater geometric complexity.

Additive Industries’ MetalFAB1 System Receives First Follow-on Order 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Additive Industries has received a follow-on order from its customer Kaak Group. The order of a second MetalFAB1 system, this time a 5-module 4-laser production series system within 9 months after the installation of the first system, confirms the performance of the MetalFAB1 system. Kaak, the market leading manufacturer of industrial bakery systems will further increase its metal additive manufacturing capacity since demand for 3D printed components for internal use is substantial. This month their first MetalFAB1 system is upgraded to a 4-laser version to double the speed and increase the capacity but they expect this will not be sufficient to keep up with the growing number of parts for their bakery systems.

Update: Amazon Sumerian is now open to let you rapidly create VR, AR and 3D Apps AM Software

by Design

After Google, Amazon is diving head first into the world of 3D content creation, looking at VR/AR applications but likely aloso as a necessary transitional step toward a more widespread adoption of 3D printing. Amazon Sumerian lets anyone create and run virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 3D applications quickly and easily without requiring any specialized programming or 3D graphics expertise.
