News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Trustworthy Beijing – as the Asian partner for 3D scanner manufacturer SMARTTECH – will present, for the first time in Asia at TCT Asia, the latest version of company’s 3D data editing software – SMARTTECH3Dmeasure v. 2018. TCT Asia 2018 is the leading exhibition of 3D printing and 3D scanning in Asian region.
e-Xstream engineering, market-leader in multi-scale modeling of composite materials and structures, has today announced it will demonstrate Digimat 2018 for the first time at JEC World 2018.

Palette+ is a device developed by Mosaic Manufacturing. It upgrades most filament-based (FFF/FDM) 3D printers to print in 4+ materials with only 1 extruder. Chroma 3 is Palette+’s newest companion software that helps make this happen. To print models with pristine colors, Chroma adds transition towers to prints. When a printer changes from one filament to the next, it extrudes the mixed material on the transition tower.
Materialise NV and PTC have partnered to increase the 3D printing capabilities of PTC’s Creo suite of computer-aided design (CAD) software. This collaboration will expand access to 3D Printing and allow manufacturers to more easily integrate 3D printing capabilities into their manufacturing process, signaling another milestone in the increasing adoption of 3D Printing in the manufacturing industry.
ANSYS is now enabling engineers to create designs faster and more efficiently with the commercial release of ANSYS Discovery Live. The new simulation software will empower engineers to simulate designs in real-time quickly and more economically.
Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered a way to create a simplified tractor beam – using readily available parts, and Ultimaker 3D printer, and spending less than £70 in the process. Here’s how.
SOLIDWORKS World 2017 saw the introduction of SOLIDWORKS CAM and the start of SOLIDWORKS doing manufacturing. SOLIDWORKS World 2018 featured a “shop floor experience” showing the Design to Manufacturing workflow that SOLIDWORKS enables, manufacturing parts live in the Partner Pavilion. But cutting material to make parts is not the only way to make things anymore. Additive Manufacturing, or 3D Printing, is reaching a maturity where it is not just for prototypes anymore. This has never been as evident as at this year’s SOLIDWORKS World.
At SOLIDWORKS World, 3D Systems introduced 3DXpert for SOLIDWORKS. By combining the tools that designers need from 3D Systems’ 3DXpert with SOLIDWORKS from Dassault Systèmes, 3D Systems provides a distinct and exclusive advantage to all SOLIDWORKS users. The new 3DXpert for SOLIDWORKS product enables SOLIDWORKS users to prepare and optimize designs for both plastic and metal additive manufacturing.
At SOLIDWORKS World, Dassault Systèmes’ annual conference dedicated to the 3D design and engineering community, HP Inc. and Dassault Systèmes announced their collaboration to empower a new era of product design innovation by entrepreneurs, makers, students and businesses. The two companies intend to optimize Dassault Systèmes’ industry-leading SOLIDWORKS 3D design and engineering applications to take advantage of the unique voxel-level capabilities of HP’s Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions. Designers and engineers can completely reimagine products, leverage new materials, escape the limitations of traditional manufacturing, and produce new products more quickly and efficiently.
The Youngstown State University Research Foundation has signed a partnership agreement with the Israeli startup PrintSYSt to help make 3D-printing simpler and more accessible.
