SAE International publishes first Additive Manufacturing Polymer Specifications for aerospace industry Legislation

SAE International released the first Additive Manufacturing (AM) Polymer specifications for the aerospace industry. AMS7100: Fuse Filament Fabrication Process and AMS7101: Material for Fused Filament Fabrication represent the first specifications released under the AMS-AM Additive Manufacturing Non-Metallic (AMS-AM-P) committee. These standards were created following a request from airlines through the International Air Transport Association (IATA)’s EMG to be able to realize additively manufactured plastic cabin parts.

One to one with the Lisa Pro, the only viable and truly affordable SLS solution on the market today 3D Printer Hardware

Building an SLS system is more complicated than most realize. This is what SLS system manufacturers have been saying for years, five years to be exact, since the first SLS patent expired in February 2014. Then a few companies set out to change that myth and only one of them – so far – has succeeded: Krakow, Poland-based Sinterit. Its Lisa and latest Lisa Pro systems are real, reliable products. We had the chance to test and review their technology first-hand, after visiting the company in Krakow for a hands-on training session.
