News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Materialise NV and PTC have partnered to increase the 3D printing capabilities of PTC’s Creo suite of computer-aided design (CAD) software. This collaboration will expand access to 3D Printing and allow manufacturers to more easily integrate 3D printing capabilities into their manufacturing process, signaling another milestone in the increasing adoption of 3D Printing in the manufacturing industry.
ANSYS is now enabling engineers to create designs faster and more efficiently with the commercial release of ANSYS Discovery Live. The new simulation software will empower engineers to simulate designs in real-time quickly and more economically.
Even without huge media announcements, Politronica and the Flying Tiger chain of stores have received an overwhelming response to their q3d desktop-lamp-and-3D-printer (3D Printing Media Network broke the news just last week). In just over a month, the team have saturated 50% of their initial production capacity (which amounted to 500 units by March).

Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered a way to create a simplified tractor beam – using readily available parts, and Ultimaker 3D printer, and spending less than £70 in the process. Here’s how.
SOLIDWORKS World 2017 saw the introduction of SOLIDWORKS CAM and the start of SOLIDWORKS doing manufacturing. SOLIDWORKS World 2018 featured a “shop floor experience” showing the Design to Manufacturing workflow that SOLIDWORKS enables, manufacturing parts live in the Partner Pavilion. But cutting material to make parts is not the only way to make things anymore. Additive Manufacturing, or 3D Printing, is reaching a maturity where it is not just for prototypes anymore. This has never been as evident as at this year’s SOLIDWORKS World.
Just last week we reported on low-cost 3D printer manufacturer Type A Machines shutting down. We asked ourselves if it would be an isolated case or the first of a series of closures as certain unsustainable business models meet their fate. Apparently, it may be the latter. This week another low-cost system manufacturer, New Matter, is announcing the imminent ceasing of operations.
Good news: 3D printing is disappearing. As many have predicted, for 3D printing to become a true mass customization process, it needs to disappear. Companies and users need to be able to make and buy 3D printed products not because they are 3D printed, but because those are the best possible products and they can only be made by 3D printing. This is now happening and the latest B400 Brainwavz earphones represent a clear indication of this trend.

Precision ADM, announced an investment in three metal additive manufacturing machines made by EOS, the world’s leading technology supplier in the field of industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers. The acquisition increases their AM capacity and capability, making it the largest direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) AM manufacturer in Canada with ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System certification.
