News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
3D Print Tech Company Aectual made a beautiful debut at the Salone Del Mobile, with an exhibit at Ventura Future with DUS architects and a collaboration with Mae Engelgeer for Wallpaper Handmade. Both show Aectual’s sustainably produced bespoke 3D printed Floors with terrazzo infill.
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.
SLM Solutions co-founder Henner Schöneborn is joining Swiss start-up UrbanAlps, developer of the Stealth Key, in order to take world’s first 3D metal printed key toward full-scale industrialization. As co-founder of SLM Solutions, Germany, CTO and Member of the Management Board, Henner was until June 2018 the key driver of SLM’s Additive Manufacturing and Powder Bed Technology innovations. As a CEO of SLM Software JV, Henner was/is also responsible for the ADDITIVE Intelligence Suite.
3DXTECH, a US-based leader in high-performance 3D printing filaments, is showing off an insane electric superbike at the upcoming RAPID+TCT show in Fort Worth, Texas. Several parts of the smoking hot ride are clearly 3D printed using the Carbon X composite filament range, which combines high-modulus carbon fiber and premium resins. These filaments are ideal for applications that require superior stiffness, ease of printing, improved dimensional stability, UV-resistance, and lighter weight parts vs. standard structural materials.
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.
