News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Barcelona-based 3D printer manufacturer, BCN3D, has partnered with Shree Rapid Technologies, one of the largest 3D printing and 3D scanning solutions providers in India. The partnership aims to help manufacturers in India to drive innovation, increase productivity, cut costs, and streamline workflows with the advanced 3D printing technologies from BCN3D, such as IDEX.
voxeljet AG (NASDAQ: VJET), a provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services, closed its Voxeljet FY 2021 with revenues of €24.826 million, up 15% from €21.567 in the previous fiscal year.
Over the past few months, we have been able (thanks to the very efficient marketing and partnerships team at Anycubic) to test several Anycubic systems, for both filament extrusion and photopolymerization technologies. While we have not had the opportunity to compare them with many other similarly priced systems, we sometimes feel we don’t need to. Every Anycubic system we’ve tried so far has far exceeded our expectations and they just keep getting better. The latest one that we had the opportunity to test is the new Anycubic Photon M3 Plus, which was released last March, together with the M3 and M3 Max (and with the filament extrusion systems Kobra and Kobra Max). It has been a very, very fun and positive experience, to the point that we now think that the M3 Plus’ competitors are not other similarly priced systems but even the much more expensive systems.
CORE Industrial Partners, a manufacturing, industrial technology, and industrial services-focused private equity firm, has acquired GoProto, a provider of custom manufacturing services with a comprehensive suite of both additive and traditional manufacturing technologies. The acquisition combines GoProto with CORE portfolio company RE3DTECH, to form an additive manufacturing platform focused on production parts utilizing Industry 4.0 capabilities.

Resin-based 3D printer manufacturer Formlabs has launched a new education platform that aims to advance the adoption of 3D printing within the dental sector.
Airtech Advanced Materials Group, a leading manufacturer of composite tooling solutions, has announced that it has been named a Brumos Racing Technical Partner. Airtech has teamed up with BBi Autosport to produce 3D printed molds and composite production parts for a newly updated Porsche GT2 RS Clubsport racecar, for the Brumos Racing team. Helmed by racing legend David Donohue, and brandishing the Brumos Racing livery, this state-of-the-art vehicle can be seen in competition at the 100th running of the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb on June 26, 2022.
Denmark-based COBOD International has further expanded its distribution network, through an agreement with Canadian-based nidus3D, in a partnership that will see 3D construction printing technology brought to Canada, and strengthen building automation in North America. nidus3D is at the forefront of the 3DPC industry – paving the way for new builds to be achieved faster, more affordably, and with less waste, using COBOD technology.
The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) recently purchased and installed a Xerox ElemX 3D printer from Xerox Elem Additive Solutions at their AMPrint Center in Henrietta, NY. RIT will utilize the printer in their collaborations with manufacturers for research and product development as they focus on next-generation metal 3D printing technologies.
Uniformity Labs, a producer of engineered materials for advanced manufacturing, and Tekna (OSE: TEKNA), the world-leading provider of advanced materials to industry, signed an agreement where Tekna will supply Ti64 5/25 and Ti64 45/105 to Uniformity to produce its highly advanced titanium powder materials. This agreement will make available a critical North American supply source for Uniformity and increase Tekna’s output capacity and efficiency.
