News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) installed a new ElemX metal 3D printer from Xerox Elem Additive Solutions. The machine, which is going to be part of the Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) will enable the two entities to cooperate on the new Liquid Metal AM technology to continue advancing metal additive manufacturing.
3DGence premiered a new Metal FFF Industrial 3D Printer series at Formnext 2021. The new ELEMENT series (MP260 and MP350) launches with two printers in the mid-size and compact range, extending on their INDUSTRY series of high-temperature thermoplastic printers.
As 3dpbm had anticipated last month, COBOD has now, officially, launched the first 3D construction printer configurator – a new tool that enables contractors and developers to estimate the time it will take to 3D print a specific building and calculate the volume of concrete materials needed. For instance, the configurator shows, layer by layer, how the printer can build a 170 m2 (1.900 square feet) villa in just 26 hours.
The most affordable sand 3D printer ever offered by binder jetting pioneer ExOne, the all-new S-Max Flex, will debut at CastExpo 2022 in Columbus, Ohio, on April 23. The new machine has been designed from the ground up as a robotic 3D printing system that combines industry-leading binder jetting expertise from ExOne and Desktop Metal (and possibly ETEC Viridis as well). It features Single Pass Jetting technology and will enable more foundries than ever to enjoy the benefits of sand 3D printing technology.
