Twindom, a company specializing in mobile, affordable photogrammetric 3D scanners for consumer applications, published a study demonstrating the high margin potential of operating a person 3D scanning and figurine 3D printing business at large consumer events.
In order to show off the latest advances in its generative design software, specifically Fusion 360, Autodesk partnered with Stratasys on production via FDM additive manufacturing of a pair of optimized 3D printed rollerblades. The skates which were designed by Matteo Crocetti, Technical Sales MFG EMEA, and Michele Bongiovanni, Senior Technical Sales Specialist Autodesk. They were 3D printed in ABS on a new Stratasys F370 3D printer.
The road to 3D printed, safety-critical flying parts is a long and intricate one, however the benefits on the horizon are enough to justify years and years of man-hours in research and testing. Eventually, even the most complex projects reach a moment when they repay for all the efforts. The fully 3D printed hydraulic spoiler manifold that on March 30th flew on Airbus’ Number 1 A380 is one of those moments. Peter Sander, VP and Head of the Emerging Technologies & Concepts Germany – one of the key figures behind it – reveals what this means for AM and for the aerospace industry as whole in this exclusive interview.
3D Systems today announced a price drop of more than 30% of its production-ready ProX SLS 500 3D printing system in North America and Europe. This aggressive move will be aiming to increase market share and drive adoption of the technology as companies look to shift production to additive manufacturing. New system pricing for customers starts at $270,000 and €250,000.
Aleph Objects, Inc., makers of the award-winning LulzBot 3D Printers, has experienced impressive growth since its founding, ranking as the United States’ #1 fastest growing privately-held computer hardware company on the 2016 Inc. 500 list. Today, the Colorado-based company announced two major milestones that position it for continued success: The purchase of a new facility to house growing sales, marketing, and support teams, and a $3-million line of credit with Bank of the West.
Siemens and Materialise have integrated additive manufacturing (AM) technology from Materialise into Siemens NX software, streamlining the design to manufacturing process for the rapidly growing universe of products being produced using AM (a.k.a. 3D printing). The new solution leverages proven Materialise technology to enable NX computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) software to accurately and completely prepare CAD models for powder bed fusion and material jetting 3D printing processes. As a result, the time necessary to go from a completed product design to a fully 3D printed part could be reduced by 30 percent or more. A partnership agreement between the two companies, announced by Materialise on January 6, 2017, enables Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business to sell the integrated solution through its global sales channels.
MecSoft Corporation, a developer of industry leading CAD/CAM software solutions, has announced the availability of Rhino3DPRINT 2017 and Visual3DPRINT 2017, the latest versions of MecSoft’s 3D printing solution for the Rhinoceros NURBS modeler and MecSoft’s VisualCAD modeler.
