News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The latest “Opportunities in Low-Cost 3D Printers: Technologies, Materials and Markets 2016” report by SmarTech Publishing indicates that, in spite of significant decrements by the traditional leaders in this area, low cost 3D printer sales grew both in terms of unit sales and revenues, driven in part by the new “prosumer” segment and enterprise-level adoption of desktop 3D printing.
As 3D Systems pulled out of the consumer market and Stratasys moved MakerBot production to Asia, a new “pack” of low-cost 3D printing market leaders has emerged by successfully catering to the needs of prosumers and enterprise level adopters. The latest Opportunities in Low-Cost 3D Printers: Technologies, Materials and Markets 2016” new SmarTech report goes on to analyze who these companies are and why they have been able to succeed where larger ones have failed.

Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) and leading provider of metal 3D printing solutions and advanced welding machines, announced today that it has launched French and German language websites to promote its EBAM technology in Europe.
Whenever someone asks about the state of low cost ceramics 3D printing the one company that comes inevitably to mind is Tethon3D, which has spent the past several years experimenting with its own 3D printable ceramics material, developed for legacy Zcorp binder jetting 3D printers (and usable on current 3D System’s Projet x60 series as well).
Launched back in 2012, the Cambridge-Massachusetts based startup Onshape has become known across the 3D design industry for being the first to fully immerse CAD software into a cloud system. The company was founded by members of the original SolidWorks team, along with other expert engineers. What makes Onshape unique is its teamwork-driven environment, enabling designers across the world to work in unison using a web browser, phone, or tablet. After commercially releasing Onshape in December 2015, and quickly becoming a game-changer in the CAD industry, the Onshape team has now announced FeatureScript, which will offer their customers the ability to change the way their personal Onshape CAD system operates.
Jerry, Delphi’s manager of additive manufacturing development, was first introduced to Carbon in April, 2015. A 31-year veteran at Delphi, Jerry has been working with additive manufacturing technologies for more than 20 years. His team’s day to day operations focus on prototyping a host of parts including electrical connectors, grommets and housings. Working with the M1 has allowed them, for the first time, to develop functional prototypes, run true part validation testing and explore new opportunities for the production of final, end-use parts.
Growing by 10,000 3D printers in just over 9 months, 3D Hubs, the largest global network of 3D printers, has now topped 30,000 registered 3D printing locations. Here you will find some of the most interesting data from 3D Hubs 3D Printing Trends report for the month of May. Click here for the full report.
The Developer’s Kit for the World’s first low cost embedded electronics 3D printer is now shipping. Developed by a Harvard team led by bioprinting technologies expert Prof. Jennifer Lewis, and announced to the world in 2015, the Voxel8 extrusion 3D printer was welcomed by an enthusiastic response to the vision of enabling functional additive manufacturing with advanced materials.
