Earlier this year, BCN3D Technologies announced that its strive for innovation had led its 3D printing experts to never-before-seen 3D printing technology, using high viscosity resins. Developed over the last three years, the patented Viscous Lithography Manufacturing (VLM) provoked mass interest worldwide, with more than 500 companies registering to become early adopters of the development of this ecosystem. BCN3D, in a response to the demand, has partnered with Arkema, and Henkel, to obtain material properties and applications otherwise unreachable with other resin-based technologies, and has committed to delivering 20 VLM printers to 20 of the companies currently enlisted in its Technology Adoption Program, during Spring 2023.
Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT), a cold spray additive manufacturing technology company with primary application in aerospace and defense, has received purchase orders from Australian-based companies for four separate D523 low-pressure cold spray systems, totaling $314,900 in sales.
Ceramic SLA market leader 3DCeram Sinto has become the majority shareholder of Berlin-based start-up Tiwari Scientific Instruments, which becomes 3DCeram Sinto Tiwari as of today.
Materialise, a global leader in 3D printing solutions, paves the way toward a sustainable eyewear industry by expanding its range of materials to include Polyamide 11 (PA11). The 100% bio-based polymer is made from sustainably farmed castor beans and offers excellent properties for eyewear. By addressing overproduction, the fashion industry’s biggest environmental challenge, 3D printing helps brands meet the expectations of environmentally conscious eyewear consumers.
With the new GMP300 metal 3D printer, GROB, a German company specializing in automated production systems, looks to offer its customers a production system for the manufacturing of near-net-shape components via AM range for the first time. The new LMP (Liquid Metal Printing) system, which was first unveiled at a GROB in-house exhibition, announcing the entry of GROB-WERKE into the Additive Manufacturing sector, has now also been presented at the ongoing Additive Manufacturing Forum in Berlin.
Roboze has presented the new PRO series, in addition to professional solutions that use its proprietary software, Prometheus, and new materials to increase companies’ digital transition opportunities. The machines offer quick and cost-effective access to the production of parts with well-defined technical and industrial requirements, as they can support the validation of finished AM parts with super polymers and technical materials (PEEK, TPU, ABS, etc), and, with the same solution, accelerate the research and development of new applications, and the digitization of the warehouse of tools and spare parts. Productivity, quality, versatility, and rapid ROI acceleration represent the common factors of the new series.
Sauber Technologies has extended its technology partnership with metal additive manufacturing leader, Additive Industries for a further three years. Sauber Technologies has been using Additive Industries’ MetalFAB platform for metal additive manufacturing (AM) since 2017, with a current count of four systems in-house as the company embarks on new, ambitious projects for third-party customers. Sauber Technologies is also part of the same group as Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN.
Anisoprint, a manufacturer of continuous fiber 3D printing systems, and Systemcreate, a Japan-based technology provider of equipment for 3D printing, CAD/CAM/CAE and CNC machine tools for the Japanese market, have entered an exclusive distribution partnership that will accelerate the adoption of 3D printed continuous fiber-reinforced composites (CFC) in the Japanese market.
