News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Singapore-based construction 3D printing company Hamilton Holdings has teamed up with Ang Cheng Guan Construction (ACG) and Saint-Gobain to establish Hamilton Labs Additive Manufacturing & Robotics Hub and to drive 3D concrete printing and digital construction in Singapore. The Hub will see the deployment of robotics, automation technologies and advanced manufacturing methodologies.
Last week, surface finishing expert Rösler consolidated its additive manufacturing activities under its new AM Solutions brand name. In the wake of that announcement, AM Solutions has announced a cooperation agreement with HP focused on the development of automated post-processing equipment for 3D printed parts. The companies will leverage their respective technological expertise to offer a scalable 3D printing post-processing workflow for industrial applications. As part of the cooperation agreement, AM Solutions has also acquired HP’s new Jet Fusion 5200 series 3D printing solution for its 3D printing service division.
Stratasys has worked with many a designer to push the boundaries of what 3D printing can do in design, art and fashion. Their latest collaboration is with KAIMIN, a New York-based fashion house with a high-tech slant that has worked with high profile artists including Lady Gaga, Bjork, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry.
When Sandvik brought out a smash-proof titanium 3D printed guitar, we’d thought we’d seen it all. But that’s part of the beauty of a versatile technology like 3D printing: there’s always room to be topped. Recently, Panic! At The Disco drummer Dan Pawlovich teamed up with Stratasys Direct Manufacturing to redesign and 3D print a new snare drum that can’t be beat.
Sisma, an Italy-based developer of machinery and laser systems, debuted two new additive manufacturing systems at Formnext last week: the new EVEMET 200 laser metal fusion 3D printer series and the new EVERES VARIO DLP 3D printer. The company, which has primarily focused on the jewelry segment but also serves other industries, says the two product families were designed to “generate added value” for its customers.
Additively manufactured CoroMill 390 tools from Sandvik and a revolutionary production model are helping Local Motors fulfill its vision of on-demand, 3D printed autonomous EVs for a cleaner and more sustainable future.
3D printing service bureau Shapeways and global sciences company Royal DSM are partnering in order to develop “custom and industrially scalable 3D printing solutions” which leverage Shapeways’ proprietary technology and extensive knowledge of additive manufacturing and DSM’s high-performance materials portfolio.
In addition to announcing a partnership with United Launch Alliance to 3D print rocket components this week, Oerlikon AM has revealed an alliance with Hirtenberger Engineered Services, a specialist in post-processing metal printed parts. Through the partnership, the companies are striving to industrialize 3D printed parts for end-use and prototyping applications.
Stratasys-owned 3D printer manufacturer MakerBot this week launched the METHOD Materials Development Program, which brings together partners from across the additive industry to qualify filaments for its METHOD 3D printer platform. MakerBot has also debuted the new MakerBot LABS Experimental Extruder for the METHOD platform, which will unlock compatibility with a wider range of engineering-grade materials.
Shapemode, a leading 360° 3D printing solution provider based in Northern Italy, has won the Expo Dubai Design Competition with SIKKA, a unique project based on the innovative combination of textiles and 3D printing technology.
