HP and Dassault Systèmes Collaborate on the Next Gen of Design for Additive Manufacturing 3D Printing Events

by Design

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.

Former Autodesk Spark Execs Seek to Revolutionize 3D Modeling Using Bots101 and AI AM Software

by Design

Remember Spark? The Autodesk software and fund born to seamlessly integrate 3D printing into AM processes and CAD software? While the overall structure has now been absorbed into other projects like Netfabb and Fusion 360, the experience and vision live on in many other ways. One is Bots101, an online platform, now open for beta access, created by former Autodesk Spark exects and developers. I caught up with Eyal Nir, co-founder of BOTS101, who showed me exactly how far bots and artificial intelligence could go in helping more people create 3D content for AR, VR and – of course – 3D printing.

Maritime industry leaders address the challenge of 3D printing and IP rights. AM Software

by Design

Create it REAL secured a 3D print pilot project with Green Ship of the Future consortium in Denmark. The project is part of the Green Ship of the Future project portfolio: The maritime opportunity space of 3D print, and specifically explores onboard printing and related challenges in the current supply chain, as well as existing technology. Accordingly, the partners represent the majority of the supply chain around spare parts and include J. Lauritzen, Maersk Line, Maersk Tankers, Maersk Drilling, MAN Diesel & Turbo, DNV GL, Copenhagen Business School and Create it real. The project is financed by the Danish Maritime Fund.
