SmarTech now expects polymer 3D printing to grow to $24 billion in 2024 and as much as $55 billion yearly by the end of this decade. 

CGTech will be demonstrating its VERICUT software for AM applications, including LSAM machines; Thermwood will feature the capabilities of their LSAM dual gantry and moving table machines.

Polymer-based technology for superfine surfaces and delicate components may clear path for development of new series production applications.

These standards were created after a request from airlines through the International Air Transport Association's EMG to be able to realize additively manufactured plastic cabin parts.

The Technical University of Munich (TUM) has confirmed it will take delivery of a PostPro3DMini automated post-processing system from Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT).

IDTechEx looks at the key manufacturers of biobased polymers and production methods and capacities in its latest report

It's said to enable simple and cost-effective printing of stainless steel metal parts; reduces the potential hazard of handling fine metallic powders compared to SLM or binder jetting.

Research designed to reduce development time of novel CMC materials.

Support for new material systems, part performances, lifetime predictions and addition of a strong interface to MaterialCenter in this release.

Integra P 400 was built specifically to develop and process new polymers.
