Bosch acquires two SLM500 systems 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

SLM Solutions has recently installed two SLM500 printers at Robert Bosch GmbH Nuremberg (Bosch), the multinational German technology and engineering company. Bosch will utilize its new systems to produce parts for its powertrain technology, including custom aluminium parts for hydrogen technology and electric drive productions at their 3D-MPC Manufacturing and Processing Center in Nuremberg, Germany. The centre is responsible for producing components and parts using additive manufacturing for prototype and serial applications.

Anycubic and JBD develop first consumer-grade MicroLED 3D printer 3D Printer Hardware

by Consumer

Anycubic, a global leading consumer 3D printing brand, and JBD, a leading manufacturer of MicroLED displays, are collaborating to develop the world’s first consumer portable MicroLED 3D printer. The new system, currently known by the name J1 (it is not yet clear if this will be the final name), is the first collaboration between the two companies to explore the application and innovation of 3D printing technology.

Brinter Launches New Visco Bio Printing Heads with Puredyne Bioprinting

Brinter Launches New Visco Bio Printing Heads with Puredyne Bioprinting

by Technologies

Finnish bioprinting startup Brinter released the new extrusion-based Visco Bio medical print head for its Brinter bioprinters. The new modular print heads enable nearly zero dead volume, meaning that expensive medical grade material waste is cut to a minimal level. The Finnish company continues to develop and implement new features to its device on the back of a strong first year’s growth year in 2021.

Fraunhofer IGD scientists develop new process to avoid stair-step artifacts 3D Printing Processes

by Design

Scientists at Fraunhofer IGD – Mostafa Morsy Abdelkader Morsy, Alan Brunton, and Philipp Urban – whose ‘3D Printing Technology’ department is responsible for the creation of Cuttlefish, have devised a purely geometric and algorithmic method for the elimination of stair-step artifacts in multi-material 3D printing. To avoid quantization errors, the surface of the object is modulated with a high-frequency signal. This results in geometrically accurate and color-true surfaces. The research team has set down their findings in a paper titled ‘Shape Dithering for 3D Printing’, which will be published to coincide with SIGGRAPH, the premier conference, and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques – where the research will be presented by the lead author, Mostafa Morsy Abdelkader Morsy.
