News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Binder jet 3D printing company ExOne has today unveiled its latest industrial sand 3D printer: the S-MAX Pro, which boasts improved print speeds, reliability and precision. In addition to the 3D printer, the company has also announced a partnership with Siemens that it says will benefit its industrial customers in the foundry, aerospace, automotive and energy markets, among others.
Nanoscribe, a specialist in micrometer 3D printing, has introduced its new Nanoscribe Qu ...
voxeljet, a leading provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services, is now closer to presenting its new additive manufacturing technology. Dubbed VJET X, the new process and relative hardware is targeted at direct additive mass manufacturing (AMM) of sand cores for indirect additive mass manufacturing of metal parts.
With the growing popularity of baking and confectionary shows (Bake Off is my personal favorite), there is also a growing trend in amateur baking. If you—like me—fall into the category of people who try their hand at making candies and bakes but are lacking in some…well, skill, a new piece of 3D printing hardware on Kickstarter could help you up your plating game.

One of the next key evolutionary phases of additive manufacturing is the full implementation of AI, machine learning and computer vision systems into the AM process in order to catch, eliminate and even correct errors, while improving the overall build process. We know that many experts are working on this, just a couple of days we reported about the Inkbit system that spun off from MIT CSAIL. Now it’s the turn of another company that is so much based on AI that it is even part of its name: London based Ai Build.
After a lot of post-processing and fine-tuning we are ready to present the first 3dpbm interactive map of commercially available 3D printing technologies. The different technologies are divided into five major material families (metals, polymers, ceramics, composites and bioinks) and listed with the most relevant AM hardware manufacturers for each technology.
The last few years have shown us that there are many ways to overcome the constraints of 3D printing and evolve the technology to cater to the demands of end-use part production. Inkbit, a 2017 spinout from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), uses machine vision and AI to make production-ready, material jetting-based AM systems.
Polish 3D printing company Zortrax has evolved since its founding in 2013, moving beyond 3D printer hardware production into materials and software to offer a comprehensive 3D printing ecosystem to its customers. Its products—which include the Zortrax M200 Plus, M300 Dual, M300 Plus, Inventure and Inkspire 3D printers; a broad range of filaments and resins, Z-Suite software and more—are now offered in 90 countries across six continents.
Since its founding in 2011, Lithuania-based CGTrader has grown into one of the biggest online marketplaces for 3D models. The platform hosts roughly 800,000 3D models and enables businesses to easily connect with talented 3D designers for 3D modeling projects and commissions for VR/AR applications, game development and 3D printing.
