News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
As we reported just a couple of days ago, it’s officially been one year since Filaments.directory launched and the project has grown significantly. Over the last year, a number of milestones were met with the help and participation of the 3D printing community. With the recent addition of Rigid.Ink, there are now over 4,000 […]

Early last year I wrote an article on 3D printer safety detailing some of the hidden hazards that our desktop 3D printers could pose to our health. Since that time I have not seen much in the way of mitigation activities coming from hardware manufacturers, and even fewer willing to discuss the issue.
EOS, a global technology leader for industrial 3D printing, awarded the first Additive Manufacturing Quality (AMQ – AM Quality) certification in North America to Incodema3D, a leader in direct metal 3D printing. The AMQ certification strengthens Incodema3D’s position in the AM market by ensuring customers a reliable supply chain for additively manufactured (AM) parts and components.
The San Francisco-based leading cellular agriculture company Memphis Meats presented the world’s first clean poultry, derived from cellular agriculture, including both chicken and duck. While a few companies, including Memphis Meats, have produced clean beef, poultry is an unprecedented milestone for the clean meat industry. While these particular products are not necessarily shaped through bioprinting technologies, the two fields are closely related as 3D bioprinters will be able to create more complex shapes with lab-grown meat products in the future.

The Faculty of Architecture at Kasetsart University in Thailand set up the Digital Prototyping Laboratory (AKU: Digital Prototyping Laboratory, DPL) launching 3D Printer Farm using 3DPrinterOS to run its cloud 3D printing service. The purpose of the lab is to run the university’s education and research development programs, expecting that this will boost up technological potential and support research study design from all angles. The DPL is first and the largest 3D Printer Farm in Southeast Asia.
Carbon, a Silicon Valley-based additive manufacturing company, launched Carbon SpeedCell, a system of securely connected products designed to upend traditional methods of manufacturing. The first components of the SpeedCell include two new products that provide a powerful solution for additive manufacturing at scale: The M2, a robust, industrial-grade 3D printer built with manufacturers in mind; and the Smart Part Washer that enables optimal cleaning and easy finishing of parts.
3D Printing Industry leader Stratasys teamed up US Department of Veteran Affairs to launch one of the first collaborative 3D printing hospital networks in the nation. A significant industry milestone, this effort is the cornerstone of Stratasys’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.
When Frustum, a pioneer in generative design and topology optimization software, turned to the GrabCAD Community platform to host a challenge based around its generative design and topology optimization software, Generate, participants were asked to optimize the design of a lightweight, 3D-printed quadcopter.
