Flemish 3D Printing Companies to Present Large-scale Collaboration at formnext AM Industry

by Business

Thirty Flemish companies and research institutions are currently putting the last hand to ‘Family of the Future’, a demonstration project on 3D printing. The results of the cooperation will be presented on November 8 during the Prototyping 2017 trade fair in Kortrijk, Belgium and on November 14 at Formnext in Frankfurt, Germany. Materialise CEO Fried Vancraen will highlight the importance of co-creation at both occasions.

Spatial Corp, the leading provider of 3D software development toolkits (SDKs) for design, manufacturing, and engineering solutions, and a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes, and ModuleWorks, the leading supplier of CAD/CAM software development toolkits for machining and simulation, have developed SDKs (aka software components) that offer CAD/CAM vendors complete workflow solutions for additive and hybrid machining.

MX3D Is For Real, Its Generative Metal 3D Printed Bridge Is on Schedule Professional Additive Manufacturing

MX3D Is For Real, Its Generative Metal 3D Printed Bridge Is on Schedule Professional Additive Manufacturing

by Architecture

With close to a third of the bridge printed, Dutch design studios MX3D are well on track to be finished printing in early 2018 as programmed (see timeline below). By now, the company working on the bridge designed by Joris Laarman also mounted a robot directly on the bridge. Unlike so many high-profile 3D printing projects that clash with physical impossibilities, the first generatively designed, metal 3D printed bridge looks like it is going to become reality (and no, you cannot buy it).

EOS INtroduces IPCM M Pro System for Optimized Metal Powder Management 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Leading metal and polymer 3D printer manufacturer EOS is introducing the material handling solution IPCM M pro for its market-leading EOS M 290 system. For this purpose, the EOS M 290 – a highly productive system for the additive manufacturing (AM) of metal components – is equipped with a special process chamber door with coupling points to connect with the IPCM M pro and material containers. The combination of system and periphery enables users to convey material easy, fast and safe out of the system, sieve it and refill it into the system – thus, simplifying industrial 3D printing as an established manufacturing method overall.
