[Developing story] Vader acquisition confirmed as Xerox wants a share of the $8 billion AM market AM Industry

by Technologies

Xerox is the company whose copying machines business was so successful that its brand became a synonym for the family of products it made and sold. Since the company was quite active in the 3D printing patent arena, many may have thought it could have done the same for 3D printers. However, Xerox has never made a clear move into 3D printing, at least not like HP and Xaar have done. Until now that is. At the Investor’s Day 2019 conference taking place in New York, Xerox announced several new products in the 3D printing segment along with the acquisition of metal 3D printing startup Vader.

Formlabs White Papers to maximize benefits of 3D printing in production Marketing and Content

by Technologies

Figuring out how to best implement 3D printing into an established production workflow can be tricky. In many cases, a trial & error approach can prove costly and fail to bring the desired results. Fortunately, there is now sufficient literature available that can help to avoid mistakes and establish a clear ROI strategy right from the start. Few companies have done more in this regard than Formlabs did by introducing a reliable, high-quality stereolithographic (SLA) technology that just about any business can easily afford.
