News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
A mob of meerkats at the Cincinnati Zoo now have to work a bit harder for their food thanks to a 3D printed feeder system developed in collaboration with GE Additive. Don’t worry though, the extra effort is a good thing, as the feeder enables the meerkats to forage for crickets and other insects, more closely mimicking how their species dines in the wild.
We’ve seen countless versions of 3D printed face shields and masks for COVID-19, and many have their merits and are making a real difference on the ground. The latest design that has been brought to our attention stands out for a particular reason: it is customizable. A team from 3D scanning specialist Bellus3D recently teamed up with Rhode Island-based 3D printing service R&D Technologies to fine tune and scale production of the personalized 3D printed face mask fitter.

The COVID-19 crisis is going to cause a massive shock to global manufacturing, pretending it isn’t so is like pretending there is no elephant in the room. While crises often accelerate technological trends with positive long term effects, a slowdown in many segments of manufacturing will be inevitable in the immediate future. As a trade media for the AM industry we want to understand if and how additive manufacturing can help manufacturers overcome these short term challenges. So we sat down with Markus Glasser, Senior Vice President of EOS for the EMEA region. This is EOS’s largest region and includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Mr. Glasser has been building EOS’ AM business for more than 20 years so there are few people in the world that can help us better understand what is going to happen to the AM industry over the next 20.
CECIMO, the European Association of Machine Tool Industry and Related Manufacturing Technologies, is actively involved in advocating and promoting the added value of our sector in our society’s effort to control and overcome the COVID-19 outbreak. The European Commission is ready to approve an unprecedented stimulus package of €750 billion (as proposed by European Commission President’s Ursula Von der Leyen today), for total financial firepower in the EU budget of €1.85 trillion. Along with financial support, CECIMO believes that this crisis has highlighted different important issues that will need to be addressed for the future of manufacturing in Europe.
