Carbon targets high-volume production with new L1 3D printer 3D Printer Hardware

Since its founding in 2013, Carbon has set out to become a leader in polymer 3D printing. So far, the company seems to be on a steadily upwards path—having introduced a breakthrough resin production process known as CLIP and Digital Light Synthesis platforms, which have been adopted by high profile companies such as Adidas and Ford. Today, the company expands its hardware offering with the launch of the L1 3D printer.

Introducing LASIMM, Europe’s massive metal hybrid manufacturing system Additive Manufacturing

Spain is now home to one of the world’s largest metal hybrid manufacturing systems. The new machine, the Large Additive Subtractive Integrated Modular Machine (LASIMM), has been in development for some time through a collaborative, Europe-wide effort. Now, the large-format system is ready for operation at industrial equipment supplier Loxin’s facilities in Pamplona and will be used for applications in the construction industry.

CRP and Leonardo HD 3D print AW609 aircraft model for wind tunnel testing Aerospace

At this point, we all know that additive manufacturing is a go-to technology for prototyping. Still, that doesn’t mean we don’t like hearing about case studies, especially when they’re as interesting as this one. CRP Technology, an Italian developer of 3D printing materials, and Leonardo Helicopter Division 3D printed a model of the LEONARDO tiltrotor AW609 aircraft for wind tunnel testing. The impressive test model was 3D printed using CRP’s high-performance Windform composites and selective laser sintering (SLS).
