SLM Solutions confirms 12-laser SLM Cube system is on schedule for 2019 launch 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

As highlighted by 3DPBM’s Dutch-language media partner site – 3D Print Magazine – SLM Solution‘s latest investor relations report on Fiscal Q1 2018 did not just announce a positive start of the new year, with total operating revenue increased by 34.8% (mainly due to increase of stocks in preparation of the move into new facilities at the beginning of May 2018). The company also boldly stated that it is heading where no metal AM system OEM has gone before: 12-laser powder bed fusion, with the new SLM Cube.

Digital Molding: 3D Systems ushers in new era of manufacturing with Figure 4 Production 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

As an industry, additive manufacturing (AM) is seeking to disrupt industrial production practices that have been dominated by injection molding for over a century. Today, we are closer than ever to that reality: sophisticated 3D printing technologies are proving to be a viable means for fulfilling new manufacturing philosophies centered on quick turnarounds and smaller-volume production.

EOS joins MindShare to promote 3D printing IoT integration 3D Printing Processes

by Design

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.
