In order to show off the latest advances in its generative design software, specifically Fusion 360, Autodesk partnered with Stratasys on production via FDM additive manufacturing of a pair of optimized 3D printed rollerblades. The skates which were designed by Matteo Crocetti, Technical Sales MFG EMEA, and Michele Bongiovanni, Senior Technical Sales Specialist Autodesk. They were 3D printed in ABS on a new Stratasys F370 3D printer.
3D Systems today announced a price drop of more than 30% of its production-ready ProX SLS 500 3D printing system in North America and Europe. This aggressive move will be aiming to increase market share and drive adoption of the technology as companies look to shift production to additive manufacturing. New system pricing for customers starts at $270,000 and €250,000.
Siemens and Materialise have integrated additive manufacturing (AM) technology from Materialise into Siemens NX software, streamlining the design to manufacturing process for the rapidly growing universe of products being produced using AM (a.k.a. 3D printing). The new solution leverages proven Materialise technology to enable NX computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) software to accurately and completely prepare CAD models for powder bed fusion and material jetting 3D printing processes. As a result, the time necessary to go from a completed product design to a fully 3D printed part could be reduced by 30 percent or more. A partnership agreement between the two companies, announced by Materialise on January 6, 2017, enables Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business to sell the integrated solution through its global sales channels.
MecSoft Corporation, a developer of industry leading CAD/CAM software solutions, has announced the availability of Rhino3DPRINT 2017 and Visual3DPRINT 2017, the latest versions of MecSoft’s 3D printing solution for the Rhinoceros NURBS modeler and MecSoft’s VisualCAD modeler.
In November 2016, Apium, a pioneer in PEEK 3D printing, announced the development of the Apium P series 3D printers: the Apium P 155 and Apium P220, designed for multi-material usage. The new systems allow users to process a wide range of high performance polymers, including PEEK, PVDF, POM-C and PEI 9085.
Autodesk is no longer manufacturing Ember printers. Sales of all Ember consumables, including resins, trays, and build heads, have been transitioned to Colorado Photopolymer Solutions, Autodesk’s partner for the last several years in developing new resins. The company has a deep materials knowledge and the ability to manufacture resins on demand, plus the ability to create custom resins for users with specific requirements.
