News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
A few months after the installation of a ProMaker P1000 at Creabis and Inovsys sites, two growing services bureaus, Do’in3D enters the list of 3D printing service providers who use Prodways Technologies’ affordable Selective Laser Sintering 3D printer to quickly answer the expanding industrial market needs.

During the awards dinner of the 6th edition of the Additive World Conference, Chairman of the Jury, Ultimaker co-founder, Erik de Bruijn, announced Aidro Hydraulics and Fraunhofer Institute winners of the Additive World Design for Additive Manufacturing Challenge. All six finalists, three in the student category and three professionals, pitched their designs in front of the 5 member jury. After deliberation they made a well-advised selection in both categories. The awards, a set of gears and a hydraulic manifold, were for redesigns of very common industrial parts where the impact of the design for additive manufacturing would be substantial.
The Automotive industry continues its ongoing race to find ways to accelerate the process of designing and developing new and better vehicles. If we examine a modern car design closely, we see that it contains around 30,000 components, of different sizes and materials, manufactured using a range of techniques. Introducing 3D printing into the process of designing a machine with this number and diversity of parts can make that process of moving from new concept to marketable product much more efficient.
3D Systems on Wednesday published its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2017 financial results, beating market expectations and hopefully beginning a much awaited turn around. The company reported fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings of 5 cents per share on revenue of $177.3 million. A year prior, it reported non-GAAP earnings of 15 cents per share on revenue of $165.9 million. Wall Street was looking for non-GAAP earnings of 0 cents per share on revenue of $163.47 million.
Visiting 3D print shops around the world was one of my favorite activities when I started blogging about 3D printer companies. Now that the company I founded on the wake of those experiences, 3D Printing Business Media Ltd., has grown into an global media company running three websites, an international team of professionals and conducting extensive market research in many industrial AM segments, visiting companies and shops is not often possible for me. So when, during a recent short holiday in Bangkok I found out about Septillion, a leading Thai 3D print shop and 3D products distributor, I took the opportunity to go back to this company’s roots: meeting and uniting everyone in the world of 3D printing, across all continents.
It’s been hard to miss the excitement across the world about Marvel’s latest superhero movie, Black Panther. Head Costume Designer Ruth E. Carter’s luscious costume design has taken center stage. In order to bring her otherworldly blends between traditional African designs and the futuristic elements of the highly developed Wakanda civilisation to life, Ruth approached Julia Koerner to collaborate on cutting-edge wearables for Queen Ramonda. Julia Koerner is an inter-disciplinary designer, experienced in architecture, industrial and fashion design, and specialized in 3D printed wearables.
In the rapidly evolving world of construction 3D printing, California based Emerging Objects stands out both as a pioneer and as the only company that approached 3D printing from a modular, “3D printed bricks and tiles” point of view. Its latest 3D Printed Cabin of Curiosities sums up much of the company’s research so far.
Senvol is developing data-driven machine learning additive manufacturing (AM) software for the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research (ONR). Senvol’s software analyzes the relationships between AM process parameters and material performance.
Cevotec partnered with Composite Automation to introduce its innovative Fiber Patch Placement composite additive manufacturing technology to the North American market. The collaboration announced at JEC World 2018 in Paris, expands the range of advanced process technologies for fiber composites available to North American manufacturers.
