Since the announcement last fall that 3D Systems would become the exclusive global distributor of Wematter\u2019s products, it became increasingly apparent to us how beneficial it would be to have this team and technology as p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> of our company. Through&nbsp;the acquisition of Wematter, we\u2019ll benefit from their team\u2019s unique engineering approach and expertise as p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> of our R&amp;D organization, and our customers will benefit from the capabilities of this user-friendly, elegant platform at a more affordable price point. I believe this will enable a new category of manufacturers to take advantage of the benefits of additive manufacturing to transform their businesses and accelerate innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wematter Gravity is a closed-loop system designed to operate in a smaller-footprint <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/environment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environment<\/a> outside of a manufacturing floor, making additive manufacturing more accessible. It was designed to make additive manufacturing accessible in smaller <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/environment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environment<\/a>s. The small footprint (0.7 m x 0.7 m x 1.5 m) requires 3X less space, yet has a build volume that is more than 300% larger (300mm x 300mm x 300mm) than comparable solutions, and can complete an entire job in 24 hours or less. The Gravity is CE-certified for use in offices, hospitals, and research laboratories to manufacturing production p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s for a breadth of <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a>s including <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">automotive<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/consumer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consumer<\/a> goods, and <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/medical\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medical<\/a> devices and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The Gravity only requires a standard power source and an ethernet connection which enables plug-and-play installation and can be operational in less than an hour from delivery. This is facilitated by the simple interface which guides the user through the set-up and print process. Wematter supports a portfolio of 20 materials to address a breadth of <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application<\/a>s. The unique powder handling system maintains a closed loop, ensuring there is no loose powder. Additionally, the system facilitates the recycling of unused powder for multiple cycles which enables manufacturers to fully use the material and eliminate waste. Because Gravity is connected to the Cloud, users can st<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> and monitor print jobs remotely which helps increase productivity and lowers the demand for resources. The cloud-based connection also facilitates proactive and preventative maintenance to maximize uptime and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Kniola, president of Wematter added, \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to becoming p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> of 3D Systems and benefitting from the company\u2019s reputation as a leader in innovation and being able to expand the availability of our Gravity <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/sls-rapid-prototyping-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SLS<\/a> solution to customers worldwide through their global sales network.
