News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Incus, an Austrian company that produces lithography-based AM solutions, shipped its first Hammer Lab35 system in March 2020 and has since brought the series into full production through 2020. The company has defied the pandemic downturn to bring its product to bear at a time when 3D printing is beginning to be more appreciated by more conventional industry.
Atomstack, a Chinese intelligent manufacturing technology company, released its Cambrian line of desktop rubber 3D printers, a first for desktop printing. The printers promise greater prototyping and faster production of customized rubber items.
At Formnext 2019 many were in awe seeing the very large LASERTEC 125 DED hybrid system from DMG Mori. This year there was no physical formnext but if DMG Mori could have shown its newest 3D printer it would have dwarfed it. The LASERTEC 6600 DED hybrid system is a behemoth with up to 1,040 mm on the X-axis, -280 mm to +330 mm on the Y-axis, 3,890 mm on the Z-axis. Yes you read correctly: that’s 4 meters (a bit more than 12 feet) on the Z-axis. Considering that the LASERTEC 65 hybrid could cost as much as $1.5 million, 3dpbm expects that the LASERTEC 6600 DED Hybrid’s price could levitate to above $3 million.
The system is particularly suitable for prototype development and small-series production. Typical areas of application for such components printed with DELO materials include the automotive and microelectronics industries, as the materials are highly resistant to temperature and media and have properties similar to those of high-performance plastics.

Looking to expand their capabilities in ceramics additive manufacturing, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) finally partnered with 3DCeram Sinto Inc. and purchased a C900-Flex 3D printer. This was Oak Ridge’s first time purchasing equipment from 3DCeram Sinto.
Desktop Metal launched copper for the Studio System, an office-friendly metal 3D printing system for low volume production. With its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, copper is considered an ideal material for transferring heat or electricity and is used in virtually every electronic device made.

Sinterit, the Poland-based company known for its low-cost SLS 3D printing solutions, has launched the latest addition to its ecosystem: the Powder Handling Station (PHS). The new system, to be used alongside Sinterit’s Lisa or Lisa PRO printers, is designed to streamline and improve the powder recovery and cleaning processes for selective laser sintering.
