News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Large size CNC and additive system OEM Thermwood Corporation has unveiled a new design for the print head on its large scale additive manufacturing machines which it calls LSAM, (pronounced L-Sam). This new “Universal” design print head can be equipped with any of three interchangeable “Melt Cores”.
Ackuretta Technologies, a leading innovator and manufacturer of professional grade 3D printers and materials, has announced that it has selected Materialise and its 3D printing software as a certified solution for its Ackuray 3D printing solutions. The Ackuray series, which is now available globally, is compatible with Materialise Magics Print DLP, empowering users with a wide array of tools for their 3D printing workflows.
RegenHU, with 10 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of 3D Bioprinters, has developed a unique, cutting-edge Bioprinting Software Suite. An exclusive Software built specifically to correspond to both the advanced requirements of R&D as well as the demanding specifications of clinical testing.
The name “Fuse1” seems to imply that a fusion process will be involved in the new hardware that Formlabs will be presenting at the upcoming Digital Factory event to be held at the MIT Media Lab next June 5th. This would exclude an upgraded and possible larger SLA system as it would also exclude an updated “Farm” network system.
Leading industrial 3D printer manufacturer 3D Systems Corporation will embed the ThingWorx Platform from PTC into its 3D printers, enabling intelligent monitoring and remote service and maintenance.
After a long incubation, Impossible-Objects finally showed the first system based on its new composite additive manufacturing technology (CBAM). The 3D printer uses a process different from any other current AM technologies and makes functional, fiber-reinforced parts at production speeds scaling to minutes or seconds. CBAM works with the widest range of materials, such as fiber fabrics including carbon, glass and Kevlar, and polymers including polyamides and PEEK. Its goal is to replace conventional manufacturing techniques while offering greater geometric complexity.
The newest version of Thor’s award-winning editing software is released today. The much-anticipated version 2.0 is the software which encompasses ease-of-use with sophisticated tools to enable users of all Thor scanners to arrive at a perfect result.This version of software has several noteworthy features.
RP Platform have recently launched an innovative feature for fully integrating their sof ...
Additive Industries has received a follow-on order from its customer Kaak Group. The order of a second MetalFAB1 system, this time a 5-module 4-laser production series system within 9 months after the installation of the first system, confirms the performance of the MetalFAB1 system. Kaak, the market leading manufacturer of industrial bakery systems will further increase its metal additive manufacturing capacity since demand for 3D printed components for internal use is substantial. This month their first MetalFAB1 system is upgraded to a 4-laser version to double the speed and increase the capacity but they expect this will not be sufficient to keep up with the growing number of parts for their bakery systems.
Simufact Engineering, an MSC Software company, has released Simufact Additive 2, a new version of its simulation solution for metal-based additive manufacturing. The software provides a series of capabilities covering powder bed fusion processes that deliver more certainty in achieving a reliable additive manufacturing process for high quality parts.
