For example, the water adapters of the Audi W12 engine are manufactured on demand with the SLM280.
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.
Nano Dimension, a leading additive electronics provider, has entered into a reseller agreement with EDA Technologies. EDA Technologies is a “concept to complete” electronics solutions company providing professional turnkey electronics product development and manufacturing services since 1997. As part of the agreement, EDA Technologies will purchase Nano Dimension’s DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D Printer, which will be used for demonstrations, as well as for training purposes.
