Avante Technology is introducing Emendo Cloud, a cloud-based automated STL File analysis & repair service. Targeted at engineers and professional designers, this high-performance repair service addresses three common problems with STL files, which are used for output to both subtractive and additive manufacturing systems:
Create it REAL, a Danish R&D center specialized in 3D printing technologies (control boards, software and hardware) is partnering with desktop and industrial 3D printer, as well as a material manufacturer to implement its high-speed, secured 3D printing software solutions.
3DPrinterOS, one of the leading operating systems for 3D printers, has announced it will be powering the upcoming KODAK Portrait 3D Printers by Smart International. Through the agreement, the highly anticipated KODAK 3D printers will be bundled with 3DPrinterOS Cloud 3D Printer Management software with the “goal of driving mass adoption of the technology in educational institutions and enterprises.”
MHOX, a design research group started by Filippo Nassetti and Alessandro Zomparelli, has been pushing the boundaries of technology and wearable design since its founding in 2012. With a continued emphasis on how generative design and 3D printing intersect with the human body, MHOX has created captivating pieces ranging from prosthetics and medical devices to masks and fashion accessories.
Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has announced a new partnership with Assembrix Ltd, an Israeli company known for its cloud-based platform that virtualizes and streamlines industrial 3D printing. Through a newly signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), Boeing will adopt Assembrix’s software in order to protect the intellectual property it shares with vendors throughout the design and manufacturing processes.
Stratasys, a global leader in additive technology solutions, sponsored and took part in a 72-hour “Makers for Heroes Make-a-Thon” event in Tel Aviv. The event sought to develop devices and find solutions for various challenges veterans face as a result of injuries received while in service.
Wohlers Associates is partnering with the Québec Industrial Research Centre (CRIQ) to offer, for the first time in Canada, three days of intensive training on design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). The course is targeted at designers, engineers, and managers wanting to learn how to design parts that fully benefit from additive manufacturing. The DFAM training will take place at the CRIQ’s Montreal research facility June 12-14, 2018.
Dr. Karsten Heuser, VP of AM at Siemens, has accurately stated that “AM companies are the digital natives of the manufacturing industry”. This accurate description reflects the fact that – as we have written before – the AM process is the heart of the automated production workflow. While this full process integration is still far from complete, it is ongoing and it passes through PLM, MES, and cloud software, all leading toward 3D printing IoT integration. EOS joining of Siemen’s MindShare IoT based operating system is yet another clear indication of this ongoing transition.
