Picture yourself walking away from your 3D printer as the first layer is being printed. There’s no babysitting your machine, hoping the filament won’t peel off the surface or the nozzle doesn’t get too close to the bed. That’s because of the Beacon sensor by Beacon3D that was mounted on the 3D printer. Seconds before your print, you generate a mesh of your bed surface that’s precise down to the sub-micron level. This is the same mesh that your printer software will use to make micro-adjustments during your print; ensuring the perfect first layer.

From toucan beaks and F1 steering wheels to bespoke medical devices and ultra-comfy bicycle seats, the world of 3D printing is rapidly evolving…and driving demand for a new generation of functional materials, which require more advanced filtration equipment. Such as the new 3D Print PRO 4 and 3D PrintPRO HT devices from BOFA.

Specialists of All-Russia Research Institute of Technical Physics (VNIITF) have developed and manufactured prototypes of lasers with a power of 200, 400, 700 and 1000 W to be used in SLM printers. The development was carried out within the framework of R&D “Lasers”, which is supervised by the integrator “Rusatom – Additive Technologies” (RusAT, an enterprise of TVEL Fuel Company).

Bondtech and Slice Engineering launched the new Bondtech DDX Direct Drive eXtruder for Creality ecosystem. The expanded DDX ecosystem includes a redesigned version of the Bondtech DDX for Creality; two new Copperhead Bimetallic Heat Breaks for multiple Creality models, born from a co-development effort by the two companies; a new 300°C thermistor from Slice Engineering; and a custom Marlin version by Bondtech to support top end DDX users.
