News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The world of 3D printing continuously grows and businesses that provide 3D printing services need new specific tools like selection and providing of necessary materials, creation of unique 3D models, price counting, delivery, and much more.
The Vader Mk1 Experimental 3D printer by Vader – a Buffalo, NY, based startup – represents a revolutionary advance in 3D printing — bringing to life new possibilities for metal additive manufacturing. Centered on patent-pending MagnetoJet technology, the Mk1 propels liquefied metal from a 1200°C chamber encased in an electromagnetic field through print nozzles similar to an inkjet printer – allowing full control of the Earth’s most abundant metal, Aluminum.
Paxis LLC, have launched their new company and its pioneering additive manufacturing and 3D printing WAV (Wave Applied Voxel) technology. An entirely new, scalable, industrial additive manufacturing technology, it is designed to conquer the limitations of existing technologies, with projected speeds of 4x, 8x, 24x+ of the fastest large vat systems on the market. WAV has exponentially upgradeable speeds with modular hardware expansions, all while yielding a lower cost of operation.
Introduced as the heir of the 5500 model, the new MJP 5600 multi-material composites 3D printer from 3D Systems promises to deliver realistic, functional, large and small prototypes and patterns for a variety of applications, including over-molded parts, multi-material assemblies, rubber-like components, jigs and fixtures, dies and more.
After the Infinity Build and the Composite Demonstrators, Stratasys, the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions company, took a significant step into low-volume, continuous production using additive technology with a new product under development – the Stratasys Continuous Build 3D Demonstrator. Commercial product availability has not yet been announced.
Materialise, a leading provider of additive manufacturing software and 3D printing services, reported total revenue increased of 19.7% from the first quarter of 2016 to first quarter 2017, up to €31.9 million, with double-digit increases in all business segments.
Stratasys, the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions company, and Desktop Metal today announced an extension of their strategic partnership – designed to accelerate accessibility and adoption of metal additive manufacturing. Built on a rich history of collaboration, the new agreement includes distribution efforts and explores further go-to-market activities in the future.
EnvisionTEC, a leading global manufacturer of desktop and full-production 3D printers and materials, now sells an affordable FSA (Field-Stretchable Assembly) and value pack of high-quality FSA films for use with some models of its 3SP printers. That includes popular models such as the 3Dent and Ultra that previously shipped with a Pre-Stretched Assembly or PSA.
The Generalitat de Catalonia – the Catalan governing body – will create a Global 3D Printing Hub with more than 10,000 square meters on the Diagonal Besòs campus in Barcelona to partner with the private sector in the research, innovation and technology transfer of 3D printing to industry, explained the project’s counselor and Catalan Minister of Business and Knowledge Jordi Baiget, during the public presentation of the initiative.
3D Printing pioneers Materialise and 3D Systems have joined in a partnership to allow customers to utilize Materialise Build Processor software in 3D Systems’ ProJet CJP full color machines. This partnership is a milestone moment, representing a shift towards increased collaboration to deliver innovative solutions within the 3D printing industry.
