News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
EOS partnered with Texas A&M University to provide a professional development program in the field of industrial 3D printing. Using a combination of virtual learning with conventional training methods, EOS and Texas A&M University’s AM training program offers a hands-on, expert-led training program to meet evolving industry needs and challenges.
NASA is exploring additive manufacturing to build rocket engines as well as potential outposts on the Moon and Mars. Nearer in the future is a different milestone: NASA’s Perseverance rover, which lands on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021, carries 11 metal parts made with 3D printing (some of which were produced by Carpenter Technology as we reported in this exclusive interview for 3dpbm’s AM Focus 2020 Service Providers eBook)
VELO3D is expanding its 3D printing portfolio in a big way—literally. The California-based metal AM company has released the Sapphire XC 3D printer, which it describes as an “extra capacity” system with up to five times higher throughput compared to the original Sapphire system. The new large-format Sapphire XC also has the ability to reduce cost-per-part by up to 75%.
Zortrax, with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA)*, is working to develop a technology that enables 3D printing high-performance composite parts out of two blends of PEEK filament in dual extrusion on the Zortrax Endureal industrial 3D printer. After nearly a year of research and development efforts, the first prototype composite parts made out of standard PEEK and experimental electrically conductive PEEK, developed by ESA, have been successfully fabricated on the Zortrax machine.
Henkel and Carbon announced a new partnership agreement to bring Henkel’s Loctite adhesive technology into the additive manufacturing space. Carbon’s printers, notably its newer L1 3D model, will now be able to use Loctite materials. The new Loctite 3D IND 405 clear material is immediately available to customers. The partnership agreement will also give Carbon’s industrial clients access to Henkel’s single-component technologies, which may now be incorporated into Carbon’s digital light synthesis process (DLS).
Cyient and SR University entered an educational partnership that promotes an industry-oriented curriculum focused on advanced digital manufacturing systems. The partners, both based in India, aim to fill the skill gap between the need and availability of professionals in areas such as additive manufacturing. The partnership helps build AM in India’s emerging market.

Spanish bioprinting company REGEMAT 3D opened a crowdfunding round through Crowdcube that attracted its minimum investment target in seven days. The company sought 300 000 euros to fund its international expansion. The funding round continues until it reaches three million euros, which the company hopes to achieve through its multiple sources funding action plan. This plan looks to raise money from large and small private and public sources. Some of the funding will be obtained through soft loans.
