Stratasys Releases GrabCAD Software Development Kit

by Design

Stratasys created a new program to integrate its 3D printers in production environments with the factory floor via the GrabCAD software development kit (SDK). Each SDK package includes a complete set of application programming interfaces, documentation, and code samples that enable development partners and manufacturing customers to establish two-way connectivity between Stratasys FDM 3D printers and enterprise software applications. The program gives customers the power to integrate, manage, and support additive manufacturing for production of end-use parts.

Coherent and Exocad Collaborate to Streamline Digital Workflows for Dentists

Coherent and Exocad Collaborate to Streamline Digital Workflows for Dentists

by Medical

Coherent, a powder bed fusion system manufacturer, and exocad, a dental CAD/CAM software developer, have announced a partnership that they believe will simplify and improve the digital workflow of dental professionals. The collaboration will see the development of a simple data interface between exocad’s DentalDB software and Coherent’s DENTAL COCKPIT slicer, making the production of metal dental restorations more efficient.

Argonne Scientists Scale Up Medical Isotope Recycling Using 3D Printing

Argonne Scientists Scale Up Medical Isotope Recycling Using 3D Printing

by Medical

A research team from the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has successfully scaled up the recycling of an important medical isotope using 3D printed parts. The new additively manufactured parts make the laboratory’s original recycling process – invented in 2015 – faster, more reliable and less costly, enabling the method to potentially be used on an industrial scale.

Pasted into A Massivit 3D Acceleration to Adopting 3D Printing in Construction

A Massivit 3D Acceleration to Adopting 3D Printing in Construction

by Consumer

The introduction of 3D printing – in any form – into the construction industry is among the most fascinating and, at the same time, challenging endeavor. On the one hand, the most advanced and technologically complex, digital manufacturing processes; on the other an industry that has notoriously been slow to introduce change. For these reasons, many see construction as the area with the highest potential for 3D printing innovation. And business. The shift is going to be gradual and any potential adopter will benefit from introducing 3D printing technologies that can significantly enhance traditional construction practices. Massivit 3D’s large-volume 3D printing technology for construction is doing just that. By providing cost-effective 3D printed tools to leverage the geometric benefits of AM, without foregoing the use of traditional materials, Massivit 3D is enabling innovative constructions and restorations. These projects – from statues to capitols and decorations of historical Italian palaces – would not have been cost-effective by either traditional construction methods or direct concrete 3D printing.
