Titomic Kinetic Fusion can 3D print industrial scale titanium parts up to 20 times faster than DED 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Every major system manufacturer and adopter is working on innovations that could make current DED and metal PBF technologies able to deliver larger parts at lower costs. Australia based Titomic already has that capability and is instead working on getting the word out on its Titomic kinetic fusion technology, which can already 9-meter titanium parts, at supersonic speeds and drastically lower material costs.

Progressing orthopedic implants with additive manufacturing Medical

by Medical

Looking back over the last decade, it is clear from the vantage point of 2017 that additive manufacturing (AM) has caused significant disruption in the medical sector. Indeed, in no other sector has AM had such a profound and dramatic effect on the human condition in terms of improving lives — whether directly at the point of need within clinical environments or communities or indirectly as a manufacturing method for greatly improved medical devices. Currently, despite the direct approach dominating many ‘3D Printing’ headlines as surgeons and clinicians increasingly embrace the AM systems at the point of need for patient-specific applications, it is the latter, indirect approach, that has seen significant results for higher volume, serial production with AM by medical device manufacturers.

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.

DSM and Chromatic 3D Materials to develop 3D printing thermoset materials following investment round Materials

by Business

Chromatic 3D Materials, a Minnesota-based materials developer for the 3D printing industry, has successfully closed a Series A financing round led by DSM Venturing, the VC arm of global science company Royal DSM. The two companies have also announced the signing of a preferred partnership through which Royal DSM will offer Chromatic 3D’s innovative process for 3D printing thermoset materials.
