DMG MORI, a worldwide leader in metal cutting machine tools and hybrid metal AM systems, has committed to a technology development partnership in Morf3D’s new Applied Digital Manufacturing Center (ADMC) in Long Beach, California.
GE Additive has added industrial technology leader, Kennametal Inc., as is the latest member of its Beta Partner Program. As part of the GE Additive Program, Kennametal will further advance its Binder Jet printing capabilities in cemented tungsten carbide as it continues to scale its end-to-end metal additive manufacturing solutions, from metal powders through to the production of 3D printed parts and tooling.
XJet Ltd. has appointed seasoned AM executive, Harry Danford, as VP of Sales North America, a new role within the business. The appointment is part of a wider strategy to establish a presence and nominate leaders in major regions, with Andy Middleton assigned in Europe and Lior Meron in Asia Pacific. It also adds to the growth across the business as XJet boosts its workforce by 25 percent (since the end of 2021) and makes several other key appointments, with the aim of strengthening its customer collaborations and partnerships.
EOS has entered an exclusive partnership with Hyperganic, a company that aims to accelerate innovation in engineering through its software platform that creates parts, structures, and entire machines through computer algorithms and AI, to advance the field of space propulsion.
Global metal additive manufacturing OEM, AddUp Solutions, and engineered materials company, Uniformity Labs are working together to maximize the productivity of Uniformity’s Ti64 Grade 23 titanium alloy using the AddUp FormUp350 laser powder bed fusion printer. This partnership aims to target regulated healthcare and aerospace production using metal additive manufacturing technologies.
BICO Group AB acquired 100% of the shares in Allegro 3D Inc., based in San Diego, California, USA. The acquisition of Allegro 3D and its light-based 3D bioprinting technology is meant to further strengthen the Bioprinting business area’s position as a global market leader in 3D bioprinting.
3D printing solutions manufacturer BCN3D Technologies and one of the global leaders in adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings, Henkel Adhesive Technologies, are set to collaborate on the development of formulations for the recently released Viscous Lithography Manufacturing (VLM) 3D printing technology. This official collaboration is the latest step in what has been an ongoing alliance between the two teams since 2020.
Rising high-speed 3D printer manufacturer Azul 3D has delivered its LAKE printer to DuPont Electronics and Industrial’s Experimental Station, which will use the printer to begin fabricating 3D printed parts.
HP Inc. and Legor Group SPA have entered a strategic collaboration for the development of precious metal materials for HP’s Metal Jet system. Legor, a leader in metals science and production of best-in-class alloys, powders, and plating solutions, is the first to produce specialty precious metal materials for the jewelry and fashion accessories markets designed to work with HP’s 3D metal binder jet platform. Legor emerged as a leading provider of precious metal powders for metal PBF processes, however, the use of direct precious metal AM in PBF is catching on very slowly. Because it offers more geometric freedom and requires no supports, binder jetting could finally open up new opportunities for direct 3D printing of precious metal jewelry.
AMFG, has joined the Stratasys GrabCAD Software Partner Program. The program enables AMFG to work strategically with the Stratasys team and their clients on integrating AMFG’s software with Stratasys FDM systems and GrabCAD software.
