News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Wayland Additive officially unveiled its breakthrough metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology NeuBeam, with the commercial launch of its first platform: Calibur3. During a virtual launch hosted by the executive team from headquarters in Huddersfield, a wide range of attendees from all across the world were introduced to the new Calibur3 machine.
Formlabs is introducing Scan to Model, a new feature in its PreForm software that is designed to convert intraoral scans into easily 3D printable models. Dental professionals can use Scan to Model as an entry point into digital dentistry workflows without having prior experience with digital dental design software.
AUDI AG, a leading manufacturer of premium vehicles, is relying entirely on industrial 3D printing at its Metal 3D Printing Centre in Ingolstadt for the production of selected tool segments. Additive manufacturing (AM) with EOS technology is used for 12 segments of four tools for hot forming. Plans call for significantly more segments to be printed this way. Audi uses the tool segments produced using the EOS M 400 system in its press shop to make body panels for models including the Audi A4. The company plans to do the same for future electric vehicles.
A new video published by 3dpbm’s contributor Jarett Gross explores the concept invented by an interesting Russian startup called Printed Dome. that developed a proprietary construction 3D printing approach to make—you guessed it—3D printed domes.
Last month Stratasys bought Origin and Desktop Metal bought EnvisionTEC. Both acquisitions were not casual. They were strategic decisions made by companies that, for different reasons, had some cash to bet on the next 3D printing growth area and decided to go for high-speed photopolymerization technology: EnvisionTEC’s founder Al Siblani invented and patented the technology for high-speed, continuous DLP but never thought much of its potential; Origin’s Programmable Photopolymerization (P³) is one of the technologies that went after the potential of these processes for digital mass production through durable photopolymerizable materials.
Siemens Digital Industries Software was named a leader in product lifecycle management (PLM) by Forrester Research for its Teamcenter portfolio. Siemens was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in The Forrester Wave: Product Lifecycle Management for Discrete Manufacturers, Q1 2021 evaluation.
Professor Mashudu Tshifularo and a team of surgeons at Steve Biko Academic Hospital in South Africa have just completed a landmark operation for 3D printing in healthcare.
Scientists from London’s Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) and the Royal Marsden Hospital have used 3D printed tungsten disks within a gamma camera for higher resolution medical imaging.
