Deposition AM is the future of production in the Siemens Additive Manufacturing Experience center 3D Printing Processes

by Design

Software, tech and industrial giant Siemens has been making very significant investments – and closing very important partnerships – in the world of Additive Manufacturing, a family of technologies that the company views as absolutely strategic for the future. While these moves have directly involved all major AM technologies, after visiting the Siemens Additive Manufacturing Experience Center in the Nuremberg HQ, it seems clear that the company believes its software’s capabilities can bring the most benefits to deposition technologies: both extrusion (FDM) for composites and directed energy deposition (DED) for metals.

CELLINK introduces new heart-shaped logo Bioprinting

by Business

CELLINK, a leading manufacturer of affordable bioprinters, introduced a new beating heart-shaped logo. After many months of planning the company chose an icon to represent its brand for the three pillars that are near and dear to the company’s soul: Family, Compassion/Love, and creating the future of medicine together with Science and Technology. The idea of a beating CELLINK heart also clearly identifies the ultimate long-term goal for all bioprinting technologies: creating functional complex organs that can be used to improve and extend human lives.

Formlabs, 3D Systems, Ultimaker, EnvisionTEC, HP show off new AM systems in Hannover 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Several major 3D printer manufacturers chose the Hannover fair – the largest yearly manufacturing show in the world – to display their newest systems. Many of these represent true paradigm shifts in their specific segment and it is interesting to consider that they all implement different technologies (or at least different technological grades): 3SP photopolymerization, MJF powder bed fusion, FFF extrusion, industrial SLS powder bed fusion, SLA photopolymerization and Benchtop SLS powder bed fusion.
