News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Trideo, an Argentina-based 3D printer manufacturer, is approaching the release of its latest product, the Dual T 3D printer series. The industrial 3D printer series, developed and constructed entirely in Argentina, is now available for pre-order with a rebate of up to 20%.
The timeline of smartphone-powered 3D printers has been questionable. Famously, the low-cost ONO 3D printer—which raised $2 million through Kickstarter in 2016—has so far failed to deliver. Does that mean that smartphone 3D printing is over before it even began? Maybe not.
Wematter, a Swedish startup specializing in SLS 3D printing, has launched two new products for the additive market: a new SLS 3D printer, Gravity 2020, and the BlasThing Cabinet for safely and cost-efficiently cleaning SLS parts.
DMG MORI, a German machine manufacturing company, has extended its range of hybrid additive manufacturing systems with the release of LASERTEC 125. The new system is a laser deposition welding machine with machining capabilities which meets the requirements of maintenance, repair and production applications for large-scale parts.
Anisoprint showed its newest product, the Anisoprint ProM IS 500 during Formnext. Now the company is officially announcing it as the first industrial 3D printer specifically designed to print high-temperature thermoplastics with continuous fiber reinforcement.
Sisma, an Italy-based developer of machinery and laser systems, debuted two new additive manufacturing systems at Formnext last week: the new EVEMET 200 laser metal fusion 3D printer series and the new EVERES VARIO DLP 3D printer. The company, which has primarily focused on the jewelry segment but also serves other industries, says the two product families were designed to “generate added value” for its customers.
SHINING 3D launched at Formnext the latest product in its line of additive manufacturing solutions, emerging as one of the 3D printer manufacturers with the most diversified and complete offer. The EP-M250 Pro is a dual-laser metal 3D printer that uses advanced metal powder bed fusion (MPBF) technology. It is capable of easily and quickly converting CAD data into high-performance, complex structure metal parts. The 3D printer is ideal for medium-sized parts and small batch production.
In addition to expanding its Arcam additive manufacturing portfolio at Formnext with the launch of the Arcam EBM Spectra L and an automated powder recovery system, GE Additive has unveiled the new Concept Laser M2 Series 5 system. The new 3D printer, the latest generation of its popular M2 system, integrates features that enable increased part quality and consistency, better productivity and enhanced usability and maintainability.
As Formnext opens the doors of its 2019 edition, we are excited to be reporting on all product launches, partnerships and new developments in the additive manufacturing industry. This morning, one of the first announcements of the day comes from Markforged, which is introducing a new Turbo Print feature for its X7 carbon fiber 3D printer. The new feature enables users to double the X7’s print speed without compromising on surface quality.
Texas-based Essentium, Inc. is bringing to market a new printer series based on its High Speed Extrusion (HSE) technology as well as a range of new high-temperature (HT) 3D printing materials. The new HSE 3D printer series—HSE 180•S—comes with two printer options, one with a low-temperature nozzle (LT) and one with a high-temperature nozzle (HT) that can reach temperatures of up to 550°C, enabling the use of high-temperature materials and paving the way for more industrial applications.
