News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Ackuretta Technologies, a leading innovator and manufacturer of professional grade 3D printers and materials, has announced that it will be showcasing its 3D printing technology at the Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair– including a very first hands-on demonstration with the recently released industry-grade Ackuray A135 3D DLP printer.
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.
Coobx, a Liechtenstein based startup, announced that they are introducing a liquid photpolymer based 3D printer on March 9th. The new system will be based on an innovative new photopolymerization approach which has been named LIFT, an acronym that stands for Light Initiated Fabrication Technology.
BCN3D, manufacturer of a very popular desktop filament extrusion 3D printer model , announced today the unveil of the reengineered BCN3D Sigma R17, their flagship and innovative award-winning desktop 3D Printer. The Sigma is characterized by its IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder) genuine system, which simply and effectively works with both multi-material, multicolor prints and support structures. This approach to Dual Extrusion allows the user to push the limits of 3D printing beyond any material or geometric limitation.

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.
While it is a CAD software focused event, SOLIDWORKS World is rapidly becoming one of the most important yearly appointments for 3D printing innovation as well, especially for industry leader Stratasys. The company used this platform to announce its first multi-color platform and it is now present at the 2017 edition to announce the disruptive F123 series: a low cost, high quality 3D printer series leveraging on advanced and professional Stratasys FDM technology.
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.
