News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Even without huge media announcements, Politronica and the Flying Tiger chain of stores have received an overwhelming response to their q3d desktop-lamp-and-3D-printer (3D Printing Media Network broke the news just last week). In just over a month, the team have saturated 50% of their initial production capacity (which amounted to 500 units by March).
The primary case for 3D printing with a water-cooled HotEnd like the new Titan Aqua from E3D is related to the use of heated chambers or passively-heated enclosures. Heated chambers use an active heating element and are necessary when printing with some engineering and high-performance filaments. Passively-heated enclosures simply use heat generated from the print bed to warm the air inside a 3D printer, in order to prevent materials like ABS and ASA from warping due differences in air temperature.
Recently introduced by Singapore based Ionic3DP (and launching on Kickstarter in September), Kappa is the world’s first 3D printer which integrates, in its innovative design, an improved version of the Scott Russell Exact Straight Line Mechanism. Used in the automobile industry and in pick and place operations as a robotic manipulator in manufacturing industries, this proven technology guarantees precision and quality consistently.
Turkey based Oo-Kuma launched its new range of 3D printers, including a desktop system alreayd available to buy and a larger production systems available for pre-order. The desktop KATANA 3D printer has one piece body frame and is built using aerospace grade alloys and manufacturing processes enabling to keep working for thousand of hours without any maintenance.
Performance 3-d, a leading provider of high performance upgrade parts for 3D printers and rapid prototyping services, introduces the Airwolf AXIOM and Makergear V4 nozzles as part of its Hercules line. The addition of these products will allow P3-d to offer advanced printing capabilities to a wider variety of 3D printing enthusiasts.
There is soon to be another DLP 3D printer in the growing global landscape of direct digital and desktop based additive manufacturing. Shenzen based Dazzle is getting ready to launch the new S130 3D printer through its newly established Dazz 3D division.
One of the biggest problems in the world of FDM is determined from stick the technical materials on the buildplate.
