Volkswagen purchased two Stratasys J850 printers to enhance its prototyping capabilities and to build new automotive design capabilities into its creative process. The J850 is a powerful tool for car manufacturers because it can accomplish multi-material manufacturing tasks in color. The Volkswagen Pre-Series-Center is 3D printing a wide range of ultra-realistic prototypes for both interior and exterior applications, which helps the company drive further innovation in new vehicle design.
Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB), a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D brand, announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application No. 15/276,452, “Optical Manufacturing Process Sensing and Status Indication System.”
Stratasys is aiming to simplify the design-to-3D print process for designers and engineers by eliminating the CAD-to-STL conversion roadblock in its GrabCAD Print software platform. The 3D printing giant says the software’s new Advanced FDM feature will enable users to streamline design-to-print workflows, while simultaneously improving production times and material usage, in an intuitive way.
Lithoz, the Austrian leader in 3D printed ceramics, is not a company known for its aggressive marketing and communication efforts. Its high-level LCM ceramics photopolymerization AM technology is making huge steps forward, however, we don’t often hear about it. That’s, well, because the company does not tell many people about its progress. Even after Lithoz launched the disruptive, production-ready Cerafab S65, we only learned about its progress in the market when a small Australian company – 3rdAxis – purchased one.
With yesterday’s day-long online seminar on what the company’s founders have come to define as Additive Manufacturing 2.0, Dekstop Metal officialized the commercialization of its Shop System with clients in North America, EMEA and APAC. Does this mean the much-awaited revolution of metal binder jetting for production is finally here? Probably. Let’s look at the facts.
Ever since users and groups of people began using 3D printing to make prosthetics more affordable we’ve been waiting for a time when these easily iterable devices would evolve from prosthetic limbs into bionic limbs. The startup Open Bionics was likely founded upon this objective and over time it has come closer to achieving it. With the release of the official Metal Gear Solid prosthetic/bionic version of its Hero Arm, it’s definitely getting closer.
