CEO Magnus René: “Arcam is Healthy, EBM Patents Far from Maturing”. Next Gen Systems in the Works? AM Industry

by Business

In a recent article I wondered whether CEO Magnus René’s decision to leave the company was the result of the company’s failure to introduce high profile new products over the last year or other conflicts arising following the acquisition by GE. Mr. René kindly agreed to discuss these issues clarifying that business has never been better at the company and that he chose to leave only because he felt his cycle was complete, after bringing Arcam from a startup to a major global player.

FDA Provides First Ever Official Guidance For 3D Printing of Medical Devices Additive Manufacturing

by Medical

The FDA, the American Food and Drug Administration, has been paying attention to the growth of additive manufacturing for some time now. In order to further provide guidelines to implementing 3D printing of medical devices, promotion their further development and benefits, the US-based institution has developed the first comprehensive guide to provide the Agency’s initial thinking on technical considerations specific to devices using additive manufacturing. The complete guidance is available here to download: FDA AM Guidance

After introducing several world-firsts in terms of real size, functional 3D printed objects – from a vacuum cleaner to a lawnmower – the company released a new complete solution which includes its Cheetah Pro 3D Printer combined with the new Warthog, a clay 3D Printer to form a formidable team for the production of end-use objects.

The 3D Printhuset BOD 3D printed office hotel is nearly complete Construction 3D Printing

The 3D Printhuset BOD 3D printed office hotel is nearly complete Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Last September, Danish 3D printer reseller 3D Printhuset broke ground on the first European 3D printed house in Copenhagen. Just two months later the structure, including the foundation, is almost complete. The initial 3D printing of Europe’s first 3D printed building, the 3D Printhuset Bod, has been extensively covered by Danish as well as international media. Several Danish TV and radio channels were on site to cover the event live, and their footage was later used by the international media. 3D construction printing represents a clear disruption of the construction sector, which has remained virtually unchanged by the digital revolution happening elsewhere.
