MoldJet: Six Steps to Production-grade Metal 3D Printed Parts

MoldJet: Six Steps to Production-grade Metal 3D Printed Parts

by Technologies

While new additive manufacturing machines are brought to market regularly, it isn’t often that you hear about a new AM process. So you can imagine how interested we were to speak to Israeli metal AM company Tritone about its recently developed MoldJet Technology, which was first unveiled at Formnext 2019. The technology is being brought to market in the Tritone DOMINANT system and offers a new solution for medium-volume production (tens of thousands of parts per year) of metal components. To learn more about the promising AM method and its unique capability, we caught up with Omer Sagi, Vice President of Products and Business Development at Tritone.

Citing official ICON sources, TechCrunch has exclusively revealed that the US-based construction 3D printing company, has raised an additional $185 million in a round led by Tiger Global Management. The financing said to be an extension of ICON’s $207 million Series B that was announced last August, brings the company to nearly $2 billion in valuation in a rapidly growing 3DCP (3D construction printing) segment.

BattleBots’ New Ghost Raptor Has Some (3D Printed) Bite

BattleBots’ New Ghost Raptor Has Some (3D Printed) Bite

by Consumer

A robotic, dinosaur ghost, that shoots fire out of her 3D printed jaw. That’s Ghost Raptor for the 2022 season of BattleBots but it could be pretty much any maker’s dream bot. Team Raptor (Chuck Pitzer, Eric Diehr, Sabri Sansoy) teamed up with Designer Anouk Wipprecht and Xo Wang for the 2021 BattleBots competition. Team Raptor has been participating in robotic fighting tournaments since 1999 and this year, to add even more style and badassery to the terrordactyl (cit.) bot, the team worked with Wipprecht and metal DED 3D printing company Formalloy to create a metal 3D printed jaw that opens to spit fire at its enemies. Thanks to Anouk’s participation in this season, we had the opportunity to sit down with her and Team Raptor’s Team Captain Chuck Pitzer to learn more about if and how 3D printing is making a difference.

3D Printing Technology takes center stage in Downtown Huntsville Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

The city of Huntsville, AL, is a burgeoning technology town that is home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center as well as facilities for the Department of Defense. It is a community that is continuing to flourish. Downtown Huntsville is on the move with the redevelopment of Big Spring Park, which is home to new hotels, entertainment venues, and bars and restaurants. Part of that revitalization included renovations to the Monroe Street parking garage, across the street from the multi-purpose Von Braun Center. The parking garage provides event parking in the evenings and on weekends, and office workers use it during the weekdays. To achieve their goal of an attractive and dynamic façade for the garage that would make a bold statement, architects ultimately turned to Branch Technology and its game-changing approach to 3D printed facades for commercial construction.
