News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
MX3D, an Amsterdam-based company that has invented a large-format metal 3D printer, has made an exciting announcement for those following its progress. The company has successfully installed a newly optimized industrial robot arm. The part, designed by a team of engineers at Altair and 3D printed by MX3D, can be implemented as a replacement part on an ABB robot.
Engineering software developer nTopology has entered into a partnership with In-Q-Tel, Inc. (IQT), a non-profit strategic investor that identifies and supports cutting-edge technologies that could be used by the CIA and other U.S. government intelligence and national security agencies. In-Q-Tel’s investment in nTopology follows another recent investment in a 3D printing company, Markforged.

Designing for additive manufacturing (DfAM) can seem daunting. Often, the phrase DfAM is juxtaposed with images of complex lattice structures or forms that look more organic than mechanical. In reality, 3D printing is inherently a very forgiving process when it comes to design best practices. It can easily perform internal sharp corners, complex undercuts and even build a structure that would be fully inaccessible to traditional cutting or tooled manufacturing. This is what has made additive manufacturing a powerful tool for prototyping parts destined for injection molding or casting since it can handle a broad mix of design features.

Autodesk has just released Netfabb 2021.0. The new version of the popular CAE/CAM software for additive manufacturing carries many new features and improvements to existing ones, including new parameters for new and existing 3D printing systems and materials.
As an architect and a 3D printing designer, I found that the stress levels of the internal structure ...
Stratasys‘ GrabCAD Print software is now able to import 3D printable 3MF files. This could be quite significant news for designers, especially those who currently work with STL files and are utilizing a Stratasys full-color PolyJet printer. Unlike STL files (which do not contain color or material information), 3MF, an XML-based data format, provides a complete package of model information in a single archive.
AM quality assurance software developer Sigma Labs has been granted two U.S. patents for its PrintRite3D software platform. The recently obtained patents expand the company’s intellectual property portfolio, making for a total of 11 issued patents and 24 pending patents.
