3D printing news

The American manufacturer MakerBot made its comeback last year by presenting a new 3D printer called METHOD, it is a desktop machine, yet a professional solution. During Formnext 2019, the company launched an experimental extruder designed by MakerBot LABS and…

MX3D is specialized in robotic 3D printing, its mission being to introduce the advantages of metal 3D printing to high-impact industries. More precisely, the company creates robust and easy to use robotic additive manufacturing technology enabling users to create large…

3D Potter, based in Florida, manufactures dedicated ceramic 3D printers that can use real clay. Their 3D printers use a cardinal axis system, rather than a Delta printer configuration, which allows precise control with minimal effort to be achieved. The…

We told you before about INTAMSYS and its additive manufacturing solutions for PEEK and other high-performance functional materials such as PEKK, ULTEM and PPSU. When we interviewed the Co-Founder and CEO of the company based in Shanghai, Charles Han, he…

Today, additive manufacturing works with multiple different materials, yet glass is one of those materials that remains difficult to work with. Only a few groups of researchers around the world have attempted to produce glass objects using 3D printing technologies.…

Renishaw, an engineering company based in the UK,  is collaborating with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing to qualify new additive manufacturing (AM) materials for production applications. Sandvik has been in the news this year, notably when it unveiled the first 3D printed…

The Italian-based manufacturer of laser systems, SISMA, unveiled two new promising solutions at Formnext 2019 last week. The new EVEMET 200 series is a Powder Bed Fusion system and the new EVERES VARIO, a new DLP system. The company works…

You might be aware that most commercial extrusion-based 3D printers are only able to build objects from a single material at a time. And when they do allow for multiple materials and colors to be used, the process is slow.…

This year again, Formnext was a big success: bringing together more than 850 exhibitors and 34,500 participants (compared to 27,000 last year), the 5th edition focused on the industrialization of additive manufacturing technologies. It must be said that this year…

Incus is a startup based in Vienna, it came about thanks to a collaboration between several engineers from Lithoz, an expert in ceramic additive manufacturing. In fact, this young company has developed a metal 3D printing process based on a…

Not everyone is aware that FDM and SLA are complementary technologies that when used together can be highly beneficial for your AM projects. In product development, SLA 3D printing is ideal for detailed concept models or functional prototypes. In manufacturing,…

Our so-called The Faces of Additive Manufacturing series focuses on the pioneers who have shaped today’s 3D printing industry. Following our last portrait of Terry Wohlers, famous for his annual reports on the sector, we were present to you Olaf…
