Digital Dot, an established supplier of technical support, consumables, software and super-wide format printers within Benelux, has announced that is has signed an agreement with Massivit 3D, the leading provider of large format 3D printing solutions for visual communication applications, to become the company’s distributor within the region.
Nike Flyprint is the first 3D-printed textile upper in performance footwear. What it is not is a solution for footwear tooling, though that is something Nike has a long history with.
Global 3D printer manufacturer Raise3D is upping the stakes of desktop additive manufacturing with the release of its new Pro Series 3D printers. The series, which consists of the Pro2 and Pro2 Plus, is aimed squarely at the manufacturing sector and at Flexible Manufacturing in particular.
Stratasys and Phoenix Analysis & Design Technologies (PADT) are teaming with Lockheed Martin Space to deliver next-generation 3D printed parts for NASA’s Orion deep-space spacecraft. Key to the project are Stratasys advanced materials – including an ESD variant of the new Antero 800NA, a PEKK-based thermoplastic offering high performance mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties.
Aerostructures tier-1 supplier Premium AEROTEC reinforces its leading position in the additive manufacturing sector by taking over APWORKS, a metal (Scalmalloy aluminum alloy) 3D printing specialist. Both partners complement the other’s capabilities and aim to profit from the fast-paced growth in the 3D printing market together. Premium AEROTEC and Airbus, the previous owner of APWORKS, have agreed to keep the purchasing price confidential.
