News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Lichtenfels (Germany), Wednesday, November 15, 2016: Just the announcement of the new machine architecture at formnext powered by TCT 2015 created a stir in the AM sector. This year then saw the commercial launch of the product under the name M LINE FACTORY.
Berlin – November 15, 2016. BigRep, the developer and manufacturer of the largest serial 3D printer in the world, announced at formnext in Frankfurt (Main) that it has entered an exclusive cooperation with a well-known German developer of 3D printers Kühling&Kühling. This cooperation has resulted in the launch of a new high-end printer, which complements the concurrent release of BigReps’ in-house designed studio-format printer. As a result, BigRep is not only setting new technological standards for large-scale, standardized 3D printing, but is also guaranteeing that it will continue to be the market leader in the future.
I’m more tech-enthusiast than Sephora-junkie, so last year’s buzz about Mink’s 3D printed makeup definitely caught my attention, and got me thinking about how technology can improve the way we look, and more importantly, feel. But beyond the vanity and even skepticism (can a few layers of eyeshadow really be considered three-dimensional?), today’s advanced 3D printing and bioprinting applications, including 3D printed tissue, hair, and even packaging, are very attractive indeed.
As you probably know, rapid prototyping (and 3D printing) are used extensively in car manufacturing. Many industrial 3D printing techniques used there can of course be applied to motorcycles. Let’s check out some of the most interesting cases for 3D printed motorcycles.

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing safety is a subject that is often ‘glossed’ over. And this applies both at the industrial level and the personal level, as well as everything in between — a consequence of the breadth of 3D printing platforms and materials accessible across many market segments today.
Product placement is the ultimate frontier of marketing and arguably one of the most effective. We’ve seen 3D printers in several Hollywood productions already however most of the times it was in scenes that specifically focused on 3D printing and sometimes on 3D printer brand building. Other times (like in Grey’s Anatomy or in the recent Westworld) we’ve seen non-specific bioprinters working to produce organs and even entire humans.
At the upcoming formnext event, one of the major trade shows for the additive manufacturing industry, on November 15-18 in Frankfurt, Germany, Prodways, subsidiary of Groupe Gorgé, will announce the signing of a strategic partnership with A. Schulman to strengthen its laser sintering powder range of supported composites.
