News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
In 2018, CMS, a leader in industrial CNC machines for composite processing, began a collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute, to develop an original LFAM solution, for improving the competitiveness of composite and their applications across various industries. Now the company is ready to present the result of that collaboration, the Kreator hybrid LFAM composites system.
Zmorph launched a completely new product in its portfolio, the industrial 3D printer Zmorph i500, first announced last December. With a large build volume and strong price-to-features ratio, the Zmorph i500 promises to improve throughput and productivity in industrial settings.
Chinese metal 3D printer manufacturer HBD engaged in a joint research and development project with the Nuclear Power Institute China (NPIC) and Laser Pulse, a local metal 3D printing equipment manufacturer for the nuclear energy segment, to develop the customized HBD-350 specifically for nuclear power generation applications. The parts were on display at the ongoing TCT Asia AM industry show.
Anycubic is showcasing a rich lineup of new solutions and products at the TCT Asia Show, including the Anycubic cloud platform-based Photon Mono X Pro, the Digital Light Processing (DLP)-based Photon Ultra and the upcoming FDM 3D printer Vyper. With the release of these new offerings, Anycubic expands its presence in the desktop light-curing 3D printer market in terms of technological innovation and user experience.
HBD will launch a new metal 3D printer, the HBD-1500, at the upcoming TCT Asia show, taking place on 26-28 May 2021, at NECC in Shanghai. The HBD-1500 metal additive manufacturing system has an extra-large fabrication size of 460x460x1500mm, one of the largest and widest in the market for metal PBF technology.
Sinterit, a leading player in the low-cost selective laser sintering (SLS) market, has just launched polypropylene powder (PP) for its 3D printing platform. The new material, which has the noted benefit of being the first material for compact SLS that is naturally watertight, will create new functional prototyping opportunities in the automotive industry and beyond.
Recently, Stratasys has introduced three new 3D printers that together address a large portion of the multibillion-dollar market opportunity in additive manufacturing of end-use parts. The systems collectively are aimed at accelerating the shift from traditional to additive manufacturing for low-to-mid-volume production applications underserved by traditional manufacturing methods.
BCN3D, a Spanish leading 3D printing solutions manufacturer, launched the new Smart Cabinet to complete the Epsilon ecosystem, which boosts the entire printing process with BCN3D workbench 3D printers Epsilon W27 and Epsilon W50.
Fortify has extended the Flux series product lineup to include two new printers and software to allow customers and partners access to develop new advanced materials. Funds from the company’s recent equity round will be used to scale up the manufacturing of these printers for end-use part applications.
Massivit 3D’s in-depth knowledge of large-scale additive manufacturing has evolved over the years. Many, for instance, will know of how its 3D printers are used to produce large-scale objects—including the DB Project full-scale concept car—for marketing and entertainment purposes. But its technology is also capable of much more. Its newest machine, the Massivit 10000, is built for tooling applications in the automotive, railway, marine, energy and other industries. More specifically, the Massivit 10000 seeks to reinvent how large-scale fiber-reinforced composite parts are fabricated.
