Kwambio launches Ceramo OneTM ceramics 3D printer 3D Printer Hardware

Professional ceramics 3D Printing is starting to take hold as stereolithography, extrusion and binder jetting processes are being optimized and adapted for working with ceramics materials. The latest announcement in this sense comes from Kwambio: the NYC-based startup developed its very own high precision 3D printer, the Ceramo OneTM, specifically for 3D printing of ceramic objects. They are going to present it at CES in Las Vegas in early January.

E3D Releases Liquid Cooled Titan Aqua 3D Printer Extruder 3D Printer Hardware

The primary case for 3D printing with a water-cooled HotEnd like the new Titan Aqua from E3D is related to the use of heated chambers or passively-heated enclosures. Heated chambers use an active heating element and are necessary when printing with some engineering and high-performance filaments. Passively-heated enclosures simply use heat generated from the print bed to warm the air inside a 3D printer, in order to prevent materials like ABS and ASA from warping due differences in air temperature.

Bottom’s Up, More Good News From Formnext 2017 3D Printer Hardware

The AM industry is unique in many ways but one of those ways is how innovation is not just coming from the very top of the pyramid but also from the base. This young industrial segment is still far from consolidating in the hands of just a few major players as most mature industrial segments have for several decades. We are at the dawn of a new industrial revolution, however a revolution of this magnitude takes decades to complete. The best part in the beginning anything new is the galactic chaos formed by a growing number fragments which will eventually disappear or gravitate toward larger stars and galaxies. On this front there were many good news from formnext 2017.
