News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Farsoon Technologies, a China-based 3D printer manufacturer, is getting closer to the commercialization of its new FS301M metal 3D printing system. The machine, which was designed based on feedback from industrial end-users, is now ready to enter its beta testing stage.
3D printers 3D printing 3D printers—it’s really happening. And while it’s not an entirely new phenomenon, we do now have more details about how HP is not only utilizing its own Jet Fusion systems to 3D print parts for new machines but how this production approach has saved the company time and resources.
Stratasys has introduced a new 3D printer model, the J750 Digital Anatomy system, targeted squarely at the medical industry. The 3D printer leverages the company’s existing multi-material PolyJet 3D printing technology to produce 3D printed anatomical models that are ultra-realistic in terms of feel, responsiveness and biomechanics.
In many industries, one of the hurdles to the adoption of additive manufacturing is knowing how and when to implement the technology. Fortunately, this particular challenge is being addressed by a handful of software developers which are offering analytical tools to help companies determine which parts are best suited for AM production. One of these companies is Castor, an Israel-based startup that has developed a software platform that enables companies to optimize AM adoption.
