News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
It only started a little more than a month ago but the Life Support network for P2P 3D printing technical support , launched by eco-friendly filament supplier 3D Print Life, is growing fast. It has now topped 62 registered “techies” (those who offer to provide the technical assistance) in over 16 different countries.
Stratasys, the current 3D printing industry market leader in terms of global sales, reported revenues $672.5 million in Stratasys FY2016 results compared to $696.0 million for fiscal 2015. This relatively contained decrement came with a huge reduction in GAAP net losses: $77.2 million, or ($1.48) per diluted share, compared to $1.4 billion, or ($26.64) per diluted share, for fiscal 2015.
The BIO X 3D printer is now part of the company‘s Collaborative Partnership Program. As such all universities and public research institutions will recieve a 30% discount on the BIO X system when joining the program.
Following the integration of 3D printing as part of its digital services portfolio, Siemens has achieved an industry breakthrough with the first successful commercial installation and continuing safe operation of a 3D printed part in a nuclear power plant. Because of the stringent safety and reliability requirements in the nuclear sector, achieving this qualification is a significant accomplishment.
Stratasys, the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions market leader, today announced enrollment is now open for 3DHEART, an investigator initiated trial. 3DHEART, which stands for 3D Hearts Enabling A Randomized Trial, is a randomized, single-blind clinical trial to study the use of patient-specific 3D printed models in pre-operative planning for pediatric heart surgery. Stratasys is providing in-kind support with printing of the models to be used in the trial.
Space Systems Loral (SSL), a leading provider of innovative satellites and spacecraft systems, has successfully introduced next-generation design and manufacturing techniques for structural components into its popular SSL 1300 geostationary satellite platform.

Even top designer Patrick Starck said it: 3D printing could resurrect design by making it on-demand. However there haven’t been many high quality design product made on-demand with 3D printing yet. The trend has been slowly picking up – with some notable recent examples such as OTHR – and the T3TRA speaker that design studio Alienology just launched on Kickstarter might offer yet another indication.
For the past two years a conglomerate of trade associations, industry, government and academia have been collaborating on the world’s first operational 3D printed excavator. That project made a giant leap forward with the recent printing of a prototype that leveraged large-scale additive manufacturing technologies and further explores the feasibility of printing with metal alloys. The fully operational 3D printed excavator is on display at the IFPE show in Las Vega Nevada until March 11th.
Massivit 3D Printing Technologies, the company that is disrupting large format 3D printing with its gel deposition technology (a hybrid between extrusion and photopolymerization processes) will showcase the extensive sign & display applications achievable with its market-leading 3D printing technology at ISA Sign Expo, from 20-22 April at Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Showcasing a range of […]
