AM industry leaders discuss the future of 3D printing automation for production Additive Manufacturing

Welcome to 3DPMN’s latest major appointment with AM sector leaders discussing some of the most important issues that will define the future of 3D printing. This time — as part of our Industry Focus this month — we are looking at 3D printing automation, something that many have identified as one of the single biggest evolution of 3D printing: the integration of 3D printers — through AM hardware and software — into fully automated production lines.

There Will Be No Industry 4.0 Without AM Workflow Automation 3D Printing Processes

SmarTech Publishing just released my latest AM market report, this time on AM workflow automation, that is automation of the AM production line. In this report, I tried to assess what the overall business volume could around the establishment, within tomorrow’s automated factories, of the fully digital production line which use AM as the core production process in an end-to-end production cycle.

Mosaic releases new chroma 3 software for palette+ multi-color FDM [Video] AM Software

Palette+ is a device developed by Mosaic Manufacturing. It upgrades most filament-based (FFF/FDM) 3D printers to print in 4+ materials with only 1 extruder. Chroma 3 is Palette+’s newest companion software that helps make this happen. To print models with pristine colors, Chroma adds transition towers to prints. When a printer changes from one filament to the next, it extrudes the mixed material on the transition tower.
