News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
BCN3D Technologies’ Epsilon Series of 3D printers have been utilized by companies from the automotive giant, Nissan, to French multinational, Saint Gobain, to SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital – where the technology has been implemented in over 200 surgeries per year.
More and more AM hardware firms are introducing rental services to meet high CapEx issues from purchasing industrial 3D printers upfront. Now BigRep a pioneer in large-format additive manufacturing (AM) technology and solutions, is introducing the STUDIO G2 rental service, focusing on one of its mid-size systems.
ExOne, one of the pioneers in the binder jetting AM segment, revealed that the ExOne hardware installed base has reached 295 systems worldwide. Of these, the majority – 160 units – are sand 3D printers, used for molds and casts (but also for some final parts) while the rest – 135 – units are metal 3D printers, also used mainly for prototypes but now moving increasingly into high-throughput production.
HARP 3D printing technology is going to be commercialized by Azul 3D. Developed at Northwestern University, HARP (high-area rapid printing) enables a record-breaking throughput that can manufacture products on demand.
Exactly two years ago, at Formnext 2016, 3D Printing Media Network was the first media to report on Teknodizayn’s LOOP 3D printer concept. Now the Turkish 3D printer distributor is ready to launch the new LOOP PRO 3D Printer, a new and reliable filament extrusion system for Industry 4.0 applications.
Dutch technology company 3devo is expanding to the United States. The Utrecht-based company, which specializes in high-quality desktop filament extrusion and plastic recycling solutions, opened a new office in Claymont, Delaware.
The KRAKEN system has been presented at the AITTIP Technology Center, located in Zaragoza (Spain) in the frame of project final conference to 120 attendees from Spain, UK, Germany, Italy, Greece and USA. This manufacturing system is the result of a European Project coordinated by AITIIP in which 15 partners have collaborated for the last three years.
Aleph Objects, Inc, the company behind the LulzBot range of FDM 3D printers, recently teased something pretty interesting. The first hint came from a newsletter and was quickly followed by a video teaser seeming to reveal the first clues about an SLA LulzBot resin 3D printer.
Over the past few years several academic studies and industry stories have been written regarding the known health hazards associated with desktop FDM 3D printers. The dangers posed to us by the release of nanoparticles and ultrafine particles (NP/UFP), as well as volatile organic compounds (VOC) is beginning to be documented and studied. But […]
Introduced as the heir of the 5500 model, the new MJP 5600 multi-material composites 3D printer from 3D Systems promises to deliver realistic, functional, large and small prototypes and patterns for a variety of applications, including over-molded parts, multi-material assemblies, rubber-like components, jigs and fixtures, dies and more.
