3D Systems to introduce High Speed Fusion extrusion 3D printer 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Stratasys is buying an Industrial SLA system manufacturer? 3D Systems answers by introducing an industrial filament extrusion 3D printer: a novel High Speed Fusion (HSF) industrial 3D printer platform and material portfolio. Based on material extrusion technology and developed in a collaboration with Jabil Inc, this unique HSF family of products, including the Roadrunner 3D printer, is expected to provide the best economics of any high throughput industrial fused-filament offering in the market today. Through the use of advanced electric motion control, this unique system operates at speeds and precision levels well beyond current state-of-the-art production platforms. With temperature capability and available build areas greater than those of competing systems, combined with an outstanding materials portfolio, the Roadrunner system is designed to address the most demanding aerospace and advanced automotive applications. The result is not only unique application solutions but compelling manufacturing economics driven by the size, speed, and precision of this new technology platform.

Xerox appears to be closer to commercially releasing the liquid metal 3D printer it has been working on since it acquired the startup Vader systems. The company released a new video where it also, for the first time, revealed the name of the upcoming system: ElemX. The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) will be the first institution to receive a Xerox ElemX Liquid Metal Printer as part of a collaboration focused on advancing additive manufacturing research

Ultrafuse 316L Stainless Steel now qualified for MakerBot LABS 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

MakerBot qualified the BASF Ultrafuse 316L Stainless Steel material by Forward AM for the MakerBot LABS Experimental Extruder for its METHOD 3D printers. With an open materials platform and a growing portfolio of advanced engineering-grade materials, METHOD is now the only industrial desktop 3D printer in its price-class with a heated chamber that can print polymer, composite, and metal materials.

Will support structures make or break these 3D printed hearts? Medical AM

by Technologies

3D printing has been of interest in the medical sector since the technology’s inception and is today used for a myriad of applications—from surgical guides and anatomical models to implants and tools. Recently, the technology has become especially important, providing support to local medics in times of great need. Selective laser sintering (SLS), specifically, has been an important tool in the medical AM world, supporting complex surgeries and procedures in the form of tools and visual aids.
