News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The 3D Printing Business Directory was created in order to give companies a map and their own window on the global 3D printing marketplace. At the same time we are happy to collaborate with other companies who specifically focus on areas that are entirely compatible and complementary with our own, for example Aniwaa.com for a directory of 3D printers and 3D scanners.
Under the Leadership of Professor Ferdinando Auricchio of the Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials Group, 3D printing is now playing a major role in the activities that the University of Pavia, one of the oldest and most important in Italy, considers strategic for its students curricula. The new 3D printing center is going gorw in the present and in the medium to long term future, with a particular focus on medical modeling.
Finland born, Netherlands raised Janne Kyttanen is one of the foremost visionaries of innovative 3D printing applications. His work continues to shake up the world of design at the Design Shanghai event, where he proposed several works in his latests collections: Them Romans and Rollercoaster Tables.
Take some of the best features of polyjet 3D printing (precision, multi-material control, scalability) and combine them with the advanced versatility and quality of metal materials: what you get is XJet‘s new Nano Metal (Particle) Jetting (Nano Metal 3D Printing) technology.
The Loveland, Colorado, based open source, reprap 3D printer manufacturer announced it has 3D printed the one millionth part used in the production of its award-winning LulzBot line of desktop 3D printers. The LulzBot TAZ and LulzBot Mini were just ranked the No. 1 and No. 4 best desktop 3D printers in the world, according to Aniwaa’s meta review of 980 different desktop 3D printers.
We mostly discussed their amazing quadruple laser SLM 500 HL machine (you can read the interview next week on 3Dprint.com).
This award has a high significance both for Afillia – a family of hanging and table lamps manufactured by .exnovo, and for the the acceptance of 3D printing manufacturing methods and materials in the world of high end design.
The new 3D printing work year officially started and, like every year, Italian 3D printer manufacturer Sharebot is starting it off with a bang. The company just held a presentation in its Italian HQ where it announced its plans for the upcoming months, starting with its very own answer on the future of desktop 3D printing, the new Sharebot 42.
The company now plans to expand its presence in the US market, where there’s been tremendous interest in its revolutionary Dragonfly 2020 advanced additive manufacturing printed circuit board (PCB) 3D printer, and its 3D printed electronics capabilities. This technology firmly intersects the worlds of printed electronics and 3D printing and is shaping up as a major manufacturing trend.
Belgian 3D printing factory Materialise entered into a partnership with electronics supplier Velleman. The deal will result in a better and smarter end-product and boost the consumer’s user-experience.
