Less than a week ago, VERASHAPE announced they’re conducting programming work on software based on Parasolid Communicator to support preparation of models for printing. Now, the company informs that Beta Testing of the newest version of their application is about to begin. Candidates interested in SOFTSHAPER 2018 testing can already contact the producer of the software.
Netherlands based metal 3D printer manufacturer Additive Industries announced the finalists of Additive World Design for Additive Manufacturing Challenge 2017 in two categories: professional or student designer. From a group of 76 contestants, almost double in comparison with last edition, 6 finalists were selected. ‘This year we have seen that submissions showed more than just topology optimization or light weight design. The designers took a broader view on design for additive manufacturing and tailored their designs to eliminate manufacturing difficulties, reduce the number of parts, minimize assembly or lower logistics costs, often combined. This clearly underlines the trend that industrial additive manufacturing is maturing’, says Daan Kersten, co-founder and CEO of Additive Industries. The redesigns were submitted from all over the world (a.o. USA, the Netherlands, Germany, UK, Spain, India, Russia and Italy). The selected designs are from the different fields, such as advanced food processing, aeronautics industry, automotive industry, high-tech and consumer markets. On Wednesday evening March 15, during the Additive World Awards Dinner in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, Erik de Bruijn (chairman of the jury) will announce the winners of the Design for Additive Manufacturing Challenge 2017.
Verashape, the producer of VSHAPER 3D printers, supported by The National Centre for Research and Development, has been conducting intensive research into innovative additive manufacturing. As part of this project, the R&D department of Verashape is working on software supporting the process of 3D printing in Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology. Verashape has licensed Siemens PLM Software Parasolid Communicator software to assist in the import and preparation of models for 3D printing.

3D design and 3D printing are expanding possibilities to think and materialize prototypes and advanced products, opening up new possibilities for innovative solutions. The 3D Design and Print Diploma from the Universidad Tecnologica National, Facultad de Buenos Aires (UTN BA) grants introductory knowledge and basic tools to develop creative processes that integrate three-dimensional design techniques and the materialization of these designs through additive manufacturing. The Diploma in 3D Design and Printing aims to study and put into practice the way in which technology can make a project more efficient. It seeks to provide a solid introductory training in the use of 3D printers, design of specific programs to print and create projects with a strong bias to sustainability and resource management.
The 19th Annual SOLIDWORKS World event, dedicated to 3D Design and the Engineering Community features top speakers, customer testimonials, 200 Interactive training sessions, 100 exhibitors and a lot of 3D printing.
