Andreas Langfeld, General Manager EMEA, Speaks About the Future of MakerBot 3D Printing Processes

As we reported when we announced the launch of the new MakerBot Replicator + systems, Stratasys has refocused its strategy for the low cost 3D printers, now targeting primarily professionals and educators. Andreas Langfeld, MakerBot’s EMEA GM, is the man tasked with seeing this through and, by leveraign on his previous experience as Stratasys VP of finance, he seems to know exactly how to do it. We met him to find out exactly how the company intends to reposition itself to strengthen its desktop 3D printing market leadership.

Thought3D’s Magigoo 3D Printing Adhesive Gets Sleek Makeover, New and Improved Formulation 3D Printing Processes

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 Battle for Photopolymer Dominance Takes Off 3D Printing Events

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.
