News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Italian 3D printing company Roboze has carved itself out an important place in the large-scale 3D printing market, largely thanks to its high-performance plastic printing capabilities. Since unveiling its large-format Argo 500 3D printer in 2017, the company has seen substantial growth and has continued on its journey of becoming a leader in the AM sector.
Modix, an Israel-based developer of large-format 3D printing systems, has made a series of big announcements today, including the launch of four new 3D printers, a new reseller program and the appointment of a new Chief Commercial Officer (COO). The announcements each bolster the company’s overarching goal of becoming a global leader in the large-format 3D printing segment.
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.

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.
