June 1, 2018 · As more 3D printing equipment supports color, texture, multiple materials and other developments, 3MF will play a key role in simplifying the process for everyone.
May 31, 2018 · By operating at lower temperatures, MELD’s technology is said to avoid material flaws like porosity and hot cracking. The company says this enables the 3D printer not only to produce high-quality parts, with full density, but also to consume less energy than melt-based processes.
May 21, 2018 · 3D printing platform Shapeways has snagged another $30 million in new funding, which the company plans to use for expanding its end-to-end services.
May 18, 2018 · The Additive Manufacturing Center at the BMW Group Research and Innovation Centre in Munich supplies roughly 140,000 prototype parts each year to the company’s different divisions.
May 17, 2018 · PostProcess has combined information captured in the digital thread during the design and printing stages with the necessary tasks of AM part support-removal and final surface-finishing, improving the entire process.
May 14, 2018 · The deal will give Premium Aerotec access to other customers outside of its parent company, Airbus, which is expected to eventually sell the supplier.
May 11, 2018 · The technology could be used to print temporary sensors on the bodies of soldiers, for example, to detect chemical or biological weapons. Printed solar cells could also be used to charge electronics.
May 9, 2018 · GM leveraged Autodesk’s cloud computing and AI-based algorithms, using a generative design approach to create the part.
May 8, 2018 · Teams will work to build digital twins from model-based data on parts and sensor data from metal 3D printers.
May 4, 2018 · A recap of the RAPID + TCT 2018 conference.
May 4, 2018 · A recap of the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) conference 2018.
May 4, 2018 · Joseph De Simone, founder and CEO of Carbon, talks 3D printing at scale, 3D printing design software, mass customization and more.
April 30, 2018 · Audi sees a benefit both in the on-demand nature of additive manufacturing, as well as the ability to construct complex geometries.
April 27, 2018 · Wiivv uses 3D Systems’ Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) S Pro 60s printers and has pioneered a process to convert the 2D scan file of a customer’s foot to a 3D model prepped for 3D printing output.
April 26, 2018 · Yacht makers have also launched a company called OCORE to develop a dedicated direct extrusion 3D printing technology using a patented new material deposition strategy.
April 25, 2018 · By being able to print parts that are no longer being produced, customers can extend the overall lifecycle of the machines.
April 24, 2018 · Every visible part of the vehicle is 3D printed except for the chassis, seats and glass.
April 23, 2018 · The Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate has entered into a cooperative research and development/material transfer agreement with HRL Laboratories to test silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) materials for additive manufacturing to help achieve hypersonic flight.
April 20, 2018 · This process can use a $1,000 printer to print what used to require a $100,000 printer, said Chenfeng Ke, an assistant professor of chemistry at Dartmouth."
