Stratasys is buying an Industrial SLA system manufacturer? 3D Systems answers by introducing an industrial filament extrusion 3D printer: a novel High Speed Fusion (HSF) industrial 3D printer platform and material portfolio. Based on material extrusion technology and developed in a collaboration with Jabil Inc, this unique HSF family of products, including the Roadrunner 3D printer, is expected to provide the best economics of any high throughput industrial fused-filament offering in the market today. Through the use of advanced electric motion control, this unique system operates at speeds and precision levels well beyond current state-of-the-art production platforms. With temperature capability and available build areas greater than those of competing systems, combined with an outstanding materials portfolio, the Roadrunner system is designed to address the most demanding aerospace and advanced automotive applications. The result is not only unique application solutions but compelling manufacturing economics driven by the size, speed, and precision of this new technology platform.
DyeMansion will launch an expansion of its Powershot portfolio with an online event hosted from its Munich headquarters. DyeMansion will bring the physical live experience of their new Powershot systems to you as close as possible. In addition to the reveal and a live demo, there will be several deep dive tech talks and statements from partners like Siemens. DyeMansion is looking forward to every participant and will offer the opportunity to book individual “Powershot Live Experience Tours” onsite their locations in Planegg-Munich, Germany and Austin, Texas after the event.

Desktop Metal is launching the new Studio System 2, an updated, office-friendly metal 3D printing technology that builds on the experience of the first Studio System and Studio System+ to offer customers an even more simplified way to 3D print metal parts in low volumes for pre-production and some end-use applications.
Interspectral has entered a new agreement with additive manufacturing company AMEXCI AB and will provide AMEXCI with early access to its software AM Explorer. AM Explorer makes it possible to fuse, explore and analyze design files, simulation data, machine monitoring data and post-build metrology data from the metal additive manufacturing process in 3D.
Xerox appears to be closer to commercially releasing the liquid metal 3D printer it has been working on since it acquired the startup Vader systems. The company released a new video where it also, for the first time, revealed the name of the upcoming system: ElemX. The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will be the first institution to receive a Xerox ElemX Liquid Metal Printer as part of a collaboration focused on advancing additive manufacturing research
MakerBot qualified the BASF Ultrafuse 316L Stainless Steel material by Forward AM for the MakerBot LABS Experimental Extruder for its METHOD 3D printers. With an open materials platform and a growing portfolio of advanced engineering-grade materials, METHOD is now the only industrial desktop 3D printer in its price-class with a heated chamber that can print polymer, composite, and metal materials.
3D printing has been of interest in the medical sector since the technology’s inception and is today used for a myriad of applications—from surgical guides and anatomical models to implants and tools. Recently, the technology has become especially important, providing support to local medics in times of great need. Selective laser sintering (SLS), specifically, has been an important tool in the medical AM world, supporting complex surgeries and procedures in the form of tools and visual aids.
3D Control Systems introduced ZAP, a new advanced manufacturing platform, which leverages the efficiency of its innovative desktop printing system for education and enterprise. The new platform brings ZAP to the advanced manufacturing industry.
