News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Michigan-based company DM3D has released a new DMD machine with multiple process heads that can print metal parts up to 10ft in diameter and 10ft in height. The giant system has been designed for processing steel and Inconel alloys that are less prone to oxidation.
Oryx Additive‘s new Oryx Additive scaWaterjet is specifically designed for user productivity and comfort and engineered for function and quality. The new post processing system is part of the company’s goal to provide a more ergonomically considered solution to help industry manufacturing scale up their support removal efficiencies and improve other finishing processes.
Sindoh, the Korea-based specialist of both 2D and 3D printers, is introducing the new Sindoh S100, its first industrial polymer 3D printer based on SLS technology. The Sindoh S100 will also be the first commercially available 3D printer to feature Bluesint PA12 technology to 3D print with up to 100% recycled powder.
Intech Additive Solutions Pvt Ltd., the first Indian OEM successful in developing and supplying 3D metal printers based on laser powder bed fusion technology (L-PBF) for industrial manufacturing, has received multiple orders of iFusion metal 3D printers in the last quarter of the FY ending March 31st, 2021. The total of the orders amounts to $2 million (US) for the first ‘Made in India’ metal 3D printers
Fortify has extended the Flux series product lineup to include two new printers and software to allow customers and partners access to develop new advanced materials. Funds from the company’s recent equity round will be used to scale up the manufacturing of these printers for end-use part applications.
Competition is finally starting to pick up in the commercial 2PP nano 3D printing segment. After the segment was long dominated by one company, new systems are now starting to enter the market, including the NanoOne from Austrian firm UpNano, a TU Wien spin-off. Customers from both industry and academia recently acquired NanoOne 2PP 3D printers.
Incus, an Austrian company that produces lithography-based AM solutions, shipped its first Hammer Lab35 system in March 2020 and has since brought the series into full production through 2020. The company has defied the pandemic downturn to bring its product to bear at a time when 3D printing is beginning to be more appreciated by more conventional industry.
Sinterit, a leading player in the low-cost selective laser sintering (SLS) market, has just launched polypropylene powder (PP) for its 3D printing platform. The new material, which has the noted benefit of being the first material for compact SLS that is naturally watertight, will create new functional prototyping opportunities in the automotive industry and beyond.
It seems just a short while ago that a reliable resin 3D printer cost several thousand dollars. And really not that long ago that they’d cost several tens and even hundreds of thousands. As someone who is definitely not very good at handling technical products, I’ve always kept away from resin 3D printing. Too hard to get low-cost systems to work and too expensive to get reliable ones. But that’s how fast 3D printing evolves. Today Companies like Anycubic can offer machines such as the Anycubic Photon Mono that, for just over $200, ensures a truly seamless, high-resolution, liquid resin 3D printing experience: here is 3dpbm’s Anycubic Photon Mono review.
Multiphoton Optics GmbH has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heidelberg Instruments Mikrotechnik GmbH. The pooling of development capabilities and technologies for producing microstructures further underscores the global importance of research, development and production of direct-writing laser systems “Made in Germany”. The merger also extends the company’s market position in the micro-optics sector.
