News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
After completing multiple successful beta deployments, Mantle is shipping production versions of its P-200 printer and F-200 furnace incorporating additional hardware and process refinements. Westec Plastics, a custom plastic injection molder and tool builder based in Livermore, California, received the first Mantle production system.
In a competition for hardware size, capabilities, productivity (and giant facilities) that has literally taken on in China, EPlus-3D, one of the leading Asian (and global) manufacturers of polymer and metal L-PBF systems, is launching the new EP-M1550, which is likely going to be (at the time of launch) the largest commercially available metal L-PBF system in the world.

The BioMatters team at the University of Michigan has developed a fully biodegradable, reusable, and recyclable material – upcycled sawdust – to replace the wasteful concrete formwork traditionally used across the construction industry. Millions of tons of sawdust waste are reportedly created each year from the 15 billion cut trees. This waste is often burned or dumped in landfills, left to contribute to environmental pollution.
Nexa3D, a leading provider of ultrafast polymer 3D printing technology, has reached a significant milestone in its third year of commercial activity. The company has surpassed a count of 1,000 ultrafast 3D printers deployed worldwide – solidifying its fast-growing position in the additive manufacturing space.
Microscale 3D printer manufacturer Boston Micro Fabrication is making its debut in the dental sector by launching UltraThineer, the “world’s thinnest cosmetic dental veneer.” This news follows right after the company secured $24 million in series D funding to advance micro-scale additive manufacturing.

QOROX, a construction company in New Zealand, has become an authorized reseller of 3D concrete printers from CyBe Construction, a Dutch leader in 3D concrete printing hardware, software, and materials. This partnership strengthens the growing interconnectedness in the additive manufacturing industry and aims to spread advanced 3D construction technology across New Zealand and Australia.
Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Technology, or SBOT for short, a leading provider of high-precision components for the oil and gas industry, has purchased a Sapphire XC large-format printer from Velo3D to expand its additive manufacturing capabilities.
3D printing stands for progress in construction like hardly any other process. It not only enables the implementation of individual geometries and components made of concrete that would not be possible with conventional formwork technology but also optimizes production processes and accelerates the digitization process in the construction industry. The construction of a 3D printed tiny house in North Rhine-Westphalia by MENSE KORTE also highlights the use of more sustainable building materials for printing.
