Based on the proven Neo800, the compact Neo450 series from UK-based RPS has a 450 × 450 × 400 mm platform and builds prototypes, rapid tooling, and master patterns with optimal surface quality, accuracy and detail. Designed for greater flexibility and versatility, the Neo450 series is available in two models with different performance and functionality depending on customer needs – the Neo450e and the Neo450s.
More and more AM hardware firms are introducing rental services to meet high CapEx issues from purchasing industrial 3D printers upfront. Now BigRep a pioneer in large-format additive manufacturing (AM) technology and solutions, is introducing the STUDIO G2 rental service, focusing on one of its mid-size systems.
Honeywell Aerospace, a leader in aerospace innovation and design, is testing high-temperature alloys from Alloyed for aerospace applications because the materials are not prone to cracking at extreme temperatures. This partnership leverages the Alloys By Design brand, which is a series of metals developed by Oxford University researchers. Honeywell is currently testing Alloyed’s ABD-900AM material to determine its suitability for full production runs.
NCS Technologies (NCS) is partnering with Roboze, a world leader in industrial additive manufacturing systems, specifically specializing in high-performance polymers and composite materials. Roboze signs NCS Technologies to address new markets where safety and reliability are paramount, such as aerospace, industrial and medical devices applications.
Prototal Industries, the largest and most specialized manufacturing company for polymer additive manufacturing and injection molding in the Nordics, is expanding its operations into the UK through the acquisition of 3T Additive Manufacturing Polymers, the polymer AM service alter-ego of EOS partner 3T AM, for metal AM services, both part of AM Global Holding.
