News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
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.
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.
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.
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. Created by a team of architects and designers from the Polytechnic and the NUMEN Institute, SIKKA breaks new ground […]
AM software developer Dyndrite Corporation has unveiled its Additive Manufacturing Toolkit (AMT) and accelerated production preparation build processor for 3D printing, which has the potential to improve performance and native CAD-to-print capabilities for AM users. In addition to presenting the software solution at Formnext, the company has announced a series of industry partnerships with EOS, Renishaw and others.
50 years ago, three American astronauts would make history, becoming the first humans to reach and—in the case of two of them—step foot on the moon. Though we don’t often think of it, on the long journey to and from the moon, the astronauts required some pretty mundane items—like brushes, sunglasses and razors. In fact, Collins’ Gillette brand razor and shaving cream are now kept on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
SHINING 3D launched at Formnext the latest product in its line of additive manufacturing solutions, emerging as one of the 3D printer manufacturers with the most diversified and complete offer. The EP-M250 Pro is a dual-laser metal 3D printer that uses advanced metal powder bed fusion (MPBF) technology. It is capable of easily and quickly converting CAD data into high-performance, complex structure metal parts. The 3D printer is ideal for medium-sized parts and small batch production.
