News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Lithoz, one of the leaders in ceramic 3D printing, quietly launched the new and massive CeraMax Vario V900, the first 3D printer that can produce large components with thick walls and full densities using oxide and non-oxide ceramics, including dark ceramics such as silicon carbide, to full density.

Total revenues at voxeljet AG (NASDAQ: VJET), a provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services, increased 14.3% to €4.6 million. The Voxeljet Q1 2022 results are due to an impressive YoY jump in the services revenues category, where sales in the quarter grew by 63.3%. The downside of that is that hardware revenues are down by 32.1%.
Digital Metal is upgrading its metal binder jet 3D printer offer with the new DMP/PRO that will be shown for the first time at the upcoming Rapid + TCT show in Detroit. Developed as a modular component of a complete binder jet solution, the PRO series is meant to be a paradigm shift in binder jet 3D printing for high volume manufacturing.
The Australian National Fabrication Facility – Queensland Node (ANFF-Q) based at the University of Queensland, Australia has purchased Multiphoton’s recently-launched MPO 100 two-photon polymerization tool. The system, developed by Multiphoton Optics GmbH, and manufactured by its parent company Heidelberg Instruments Mikrotechnik GmbH, will provide cutting-edge micro- and nano-fabrication fabrication capabilities to ANFF-Q.
Thought3D is set to release its new in-line filament dryer for FFF 3D printers, Drywise (previously only available in Europe), in the US. Drywise ‘unlocks the true potential’ of printing with engineering materials as it eliminates the guesswork of 3D printing with hygroscopic materials. The patent-pending, active, in-line drying technology ensures the material is in the best possible conditions throughout the duration of the 3D printing job. Drywise will be unveiled and officially released in the U.S. at Rapid+TCT 2022, in Detroit.
Calcasieu Parish School Board has invested in 200 MakerBot SKETCH Classroom sets, totaling 400 SKETCH 3D printers, to further advance its STEAM education and build critical skills among its students. The addition of SKETCH 3D printers brings the latest technological innovations to students to enhance classroom learning across grade levels and better prepare them for the future.
Nozzle flow filters are used to prevent contamination, as a result of melted plastic, that causes blockages or interruptions to the injection process. These contaminations can cause damage to hot runner systems – resulting in extended downtime and increased maintenance costs. The design of voestalpine’s flow filter X, and flow filter V, both capitalize on the unique capabilities of 3D printing to create additional benefits for the injection molder by integrating a static mixer, or significantly reducing the pressure drop and shear stress.
