Formlabs, manufacturer of accessible 3D printing systems, today announced a software partnership with Gravotech, developer of 3DESIGN, a leading jewelry CAD program. With its powerful free-form sculpting module 3SHAPER and rendering companion DeepImage, 3DESIGN brings a competitive software solution to jewelers looking for the latest technologies to enhance their creativity and shorten design and production times.
There are three main jewelry industry events in the world. One of these is the Vicenza Oro fair in Vicenza, Veneto, Northern Italy (the others are in the US and in Switzerland). Vicenza is one of Italy’s 3 jewelry manufacturing hubs (the others are in Valenza and Arezzo). With all these “3’s” it’s really no surprise that 3D printed jewelry is a hot topic in jewelry manufacturing and has been since almost two decades ago. At the T-Gold section of Vicenza Oro, the area where jewelry manufacturing systems are on display, a lot of the attention was on direct 3D printed jewelry in precious metals.
PyroGenesis Canada, a clean-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, just provided a general update on its additive manufacturing titanium powder plasma atomization strategy. Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, provided this update in the following Q&A format. The questions for the most part were derived from inquiries received from investors, analysts, and potential customers
THOR3D, a leading manufacturer of wireless, handheld 3D scanners signed an official partnership with 3DPandoras, a full color 3D printer manufacturer. The pioneering companies will combine their expertise to bring to market a complete solution at a great price for full color 3D scanning and 3D printing.
The German company Nanoscribe is developing and producing high-precision 3D printing solutions enabling the micro-optics industry to innovate by additive manufacturing. Typically, the benefits of additive manufacturing are considered to be fast and flexible design iterations as well as freedom of design. But the usual 3D printing technologies available in the market fail to meet the resolution and precision requirements of optical applications. However, a broad range of almost arbitrary micro-optical shapes including standard refractive micro-optics, freeform optics, diffractive optical elements or even multiplet lens systems can now be printed in a one step-process by means of Nanoscribe’s Photonic Professional GT 3D printers, tailored solutions and materials.
