News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
There is untapped potential for 5G, the newest, fastest wireless communication band, in the large automotive market. Rhosoon Intelligent Technology Co. has used Farsoon‘s 403P laser powder bed fusion system to realize some of this latent potential.
3D printing has been of interest in the medical sector since the technology’s inception and is today used for a myriad of applications—from surgical guides and anatomical models to implants and tools. Recently, the technology has become especially important, providing support to local medics in times of great need. Selective laser sintering (SLS), specifically, has been an important tool in the medical AM world, supporting complex surgeries and procedures in the form of tools and visual aids.
With a low profile newsletter mailing and a video update on the company’s website, Formlabs has finally released the Formlabs Fuse1 benchtop SLS 3D printer for general commercial availability. Originally presented in 2017, the system’s launch was delayed by a number of events, including the latest COVD-19 pandemic but it now appears ready to enter the market for affordable, benchtop SLS technology, currently dominated by Sinterit.
As 3D printing evolves and matures, so to do the expectations surrounding it. In order to meet these growing expectations and to address an increasing number of use cases for 3D printing—in prototyping and end-use production—it is important to recognize that the 3D printer itself is just part of the equation. A key element is also material selection, in this case SLS powder materials.
FabRx, a British 3D printed pharmaceuticals company, has developed personalized medicine for children with the rare metabolic disorder, maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).
Sinterit, the Poland-based company known for its low-cost SLS 3D printing solutions, has launched the latest addition to its ecosystem: the Powder Handling Station (PHS). The new system, to be used alongside Sinterit’s Lisa or Lisa PRO printers, is designed to streamline and improve the powder recovery and cleaning processes for selective laser sintering.
Pharmaceutical 3D printing specialist FabRx has produced orodispersible 3D printed tablets, called Printlets, which are designed with Braille and Moon patterns on the surface to aid medicine taking for patients with visual impairment.
SLS 3D printing company Sinterit has launched its latest material, which will open up new opportunities for applications, especially in the electronics and automotive segments. The 3D printing powder, the company’s seventh material launched to date for its Lisa PRO system, is PA11 ESD.
