News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
FabRx is a spin-out company from the University College London (UCL) holding a unique leadership position in the development of 3D printing for fabricating medicines (a segment 3DPMN has covered in the past). The company employs different 3D printing technologies such as FDM, SLA and now SLS to manufacture what it refers to as “Printlets” (3D printed tablets), with a wide range of pharmaceutical excipients.
Five years ago this month, 3Doodler was a mere concept on Kickstarter. The idea was to simplify 3D printing, putting its power in the hands of anyone through a pen-like device that cost less than $100.
Los Angeles based 3D-Hybrid introduced a new revolutionary tool that aims to simplify metal additive manufacturing (AM) by turning existing CNC (metal-cutting) machines into metal arc-welding, laser metal deposition or cold spray 3D printers. The tools lower the cost of metal AM, increase speed, and offer new capabilities like multi-material parts.
Stratasys, a global leader in applied additive technology solutions, reveled that the company i ...
Steelcase, founded in 1912, is the largest global B2B contract furniture company in the world. In a competitive, innovation-driven market, Steelcase designers have to work quickly and efficiently in order to develop winning products.
Today, at LMT Lab Day Chicago 2018 3D Systems whose technology enables production of the largest number of orthodontic aligners in the world, unveiled the NextDent 5100 and 18 new NextDent resins — bringing the entire NextDent portfolio to 30 materials. These latest additions to the company’s renowned 3D digital dentistry portfolio, which includes solutions for dental laboratories and clinics of all sizes, enable improvements in patient care while once again revolutionizing the dental workflow.
Welcome to 3DPMN’s latest major appointment with AM sector leaders discussing some of the most important issues that will define the future of 3D printing. This time — as part of our Industry Focus this month — we are looking at 3D printing automation, something that many have identified as one of the single biggest evolution of 3D printing: the integration of 3D printers — through AM hardware and software — into fully automated production lines.
Even without huge media announcements, Politronica and the Flying Tiger chain of stores have received an overwhelming response to their q3d desktop-lamp-and-3D-printer (3D Printing Media Network broke the news just last week). In just over a month, the team have saturated 50% of their initial production capacity (which amounted to 500 units by March).
The q3d table lamp and 3D printer, created from the partnership between Flying Tige ...
HP‘s done it again. So far the company has always kept its word on the necessary steps it intends to take to ignite the next industrial revolution. It punctually delivered (just in the nick of time) its multijet fusion 3D printer at the end of 2016. It spent the next year building up its distribution network and material supply through key partnerships. It promised it would deliver a full-color 3D printer in 2018 and this time it did so with plenty of time to go. In fact, HP delivered two new 3D printer classes, the Jet Fusion 300 and the Jet Fusion 500 (see the video).
