News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Capping off an acceleration in its global expansion strategy, Farsoon Technologies’s newest polymer PBF 3D printer, the Farsoon HT1001P, a large-volume production machine branded as a “continuous additive manufacturing solution (CAMS)” system, is now ready to be beta tested by two US companies.
Aleph Objects, Inc, the company behind the LulzBot range of FDM 3D printers, recently teased something pretty interesting. The first hint came from a newsletter and was quickly followed by a video teaser seeming to reveal the first clues about an SLA LulzBot resin 3D printer.
UnionTech, Inc has opened a new stereolithography (SL) demonstration Center in the Chicago area. The center provides 3D printer evaluators with year-round hands-on access to equipment and application know-how.
Typical in 3D printing, where innovation is all too often ahead of its time (ask Janne Kyttanen), great ideas often emerge before a large enough audience exists that can fully appreciate them. One such product is the Free Universal Construction Kit, a project by Golan Levin and Shawn Sims (released through the Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.) Lab and Synaptic Lab collectives) that lets users 3D print over 80 adapters to connect together different construction sets. It was originally released in 2012 but it is as relevant as ever today.
Invented in the mid-19th century, the zoetrope was a novel piece of proto-cinematic technology. Now, nearly two centuries later—and well into advanced cinema and animation—the spinning animation device doesn’t quite hold the same wonder that it used to, but there is still a distinct element of magic and amusement about it. Interestingly, there has been something of a resurgence of zoetrope devices enabled by 3D printing technologies.
Nanoscribe, a manufacturer of nano- and micrometer scale 3D printers established a subsidiary in Shanghai. With Nanoscribe China, the German company expects to strengthen its sales activities in China, reinforce existing business relationships, and further expand customer services across the entire APAC region.
It’s not just bioprinting technology that stands to revolutionize biomedical research and drug discovery. As researchers from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada have shown, even low-cost 3D printing can be used to create helpful and innovative tools for medical research.
As part of the company’s continuing growth and worldwide expansion, Nano Dimension is expanding its Asia Pacific market coverage. Nano Dimension (HK) Limited, the company fully owned, newly established subsidiary, is entering into a strategic cooperation agreement with Shandong Guohui Investment Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Guohui”). The deal is of one of significant importance for the Israeli startup, as the provincial platform company owned by the Shandong Province State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has a registered capital of more than $4 billion.
Dazz3D just launched a Kickstarter campaign for its new Dazz3D L120 Pro 3D printer. Described ...
Researchers from the University of Minnesota have made an important breakthrough in the development of a bionic eye. We’re not exactly talking about a Terminator-like bionic eye, but it does skew into the realm of science fiction, as the bionic eye could one day enable people with visual impairments to see better.
