News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Three years is a lifetime in the Additive Manufacturing industry – that is how old we at DesignBox3D are. With over 430 companies competing in the desktop 3DPrinting segment, choosing the right solution for your prototyping and fabrication needs is not easy.
Cosine Additive has announced details regarding their AM1 Printer’s now-available Tandem Extruder option. The innovative feature gives operators the ability to create two identical prints simultaneously. This maximizes a single machines manufacturing throughput while minimizing the amount of time and manufacturing floor space it requires.
The world’s most creative and powerful adhesive pen has returned with a modern design and improved formulation. September 26, 2016 (Msida, Malta)- The key to a successful 3D print always begins with the first layer, the starting point between your innovative idea and the physical representation of it. As 3D printing technology becomes more accessible, affordable, and capable of higher quality production, the need for an efficient and high-strength 3D printing adhesive has become more necessary than ever. That’s why the Malta-based startup Thought3D has reimagined the look and formulation of their Magigoo 3D printing adhesive pen, preparing their product for the next generation of desktop 3D printing.
The photopolymer sector is probably the one that is undergoing the most changes. It is at the same time the most mature and also the one that is evolving the fastest into different vertical markets. Photopolymers are finding applications for prototyping as we as – more and more often – for end use products. Materials (and multi-material) possibilities are endless and we may be just beginning to scratch the surface, with nanocomposite ceramics and pure ceramics presenting new and amazing possibilities for photopolymerization processes.
While the presence of large multinational companies such as RICOH and HP at TCT in Birmingham is contributing to fuel future growth and AM awareness, one additional benefit is that these companies supplied an incentive for current market leaders, such as EOS and Stratasys, to step up their innovation and communication policies.

In 3D printing “first times” are at the order of the day. During the final days of Milan Fashion Week, Italian designer Giulia Ber Tacchini released the first ever collection of metal 3D printed purses at a Fashion Show held at Nerino8, in the center of Milan. The purses are parte of Giulia’s Maissa collection and are already commercially available with prices reaching up to €1,200: not exactly for everyone but neither an impossible price for a designer item.

You could say that MakerBot is turning over a new leaf: with the newly released MakerBot+ and MakerBot Mini+ the company is targeting quality, superior mechanics and reliability. We have the first exclusive photos from unboxing and testing of the new desktop 3D printers and we also discovered that their best new feature – by far – is MakerBot Print, the desktop version of the excellent GrabCAD Print software, designed for true, one click, pre-prototyping.
Following early successes with customers such as BMW Group and Delphi, Carbon (Carbon 3D Inc. ...
