Bosch developed 3D printer MVP, based on pellet BIAM extrusion 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

The Bosch Group has shown a growing interest for additive manufacturing over the past few years. The company owns Dremel (a pioneer in educational desktop 3D printers), it has made strategic investments in/formed strategic partnerships with companies such as Arris, Anisoprint and BigRep, it acquired 3D printers (from basic Ultimakers to industrial SLM Solutions systems) and its ceramic division, Bosch Advanced Ceramics has made progress in offering technical ceramic 3D printing capabilities. Now Bosch Industrial Additive Manufacturing, aka BIAM, unveiled a product known (for now) as 3D Printer MVP – (Minimum Viable Product), a 3D printer based on a pellet extrusion process that uses widely available granulate materials.

Creality launches Ender-5 S1 printer for $599 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Creality has officially launched the Ender-5 S1, the latest printer in the company’s Ender series of FDM printers. According to Creality, the Ender-5 S1 has been designed not just to be another one of the printers in the series, but “a flagship that integrates and reinvents the essence of this popular series”. The upgraded motion system, which enables an acceleration speed of 2,000mm/s², and a printing speed of up to 250mm/s printing speed, is one of the ways the company is making this happen.

The year of the binder Additive Manufacturing

by Technologies

Metal binder jetting technology, now also known by the acronym MBJ, is, at the same time, the first and the newest opportunity for binder-based metal AM processes. Invented at MIT in 1993, the technology uses an inkjet printhead to apply binder to a bed of metal powder and form green parts which are similar to parts produced by metal injection molding (MIM). These parts then undergo a series of post-process (which differ for each specific technology), including sintering, to deliver final parts.

World’s tallest on-site 3D printed building completed in Saudi Arabia Construction 3D Printing

World’s tallest on-site 3D printed building completed in Saudi Arabia Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Europe had it first 3-story 3D printed building made in Germany by PERI using COBOD technology in 2021, and now Asia also has one. While North America may lead the development in terms of the amount of new 3D printed buildings, Europe and The Middle East are clearly leading the way in the use of 3D construction printing technology to create larger and larger buildings. With its 9.9 meters in total height, the Dar Al Arkan villa in Saudi Arabia is the tallest on-site 3D printed building in the world.
