Dassault Systèmes, leader in  3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, has recently introduced its On-Demand Manufacturing service called 3DEXPERIENCE Make. This service, part of the company’s 3DEXPERIENCE Platform seeks to be a complete…

Until a few years ago, FFF technology (Fused Filament Fabrication) had been associated with the maker community, and less so with the industrial sector. Following the evolution of FFF machines, and their materials, the technology began competing in the industrial…

As you will know, a machining piece is not designed in the same way as a 3D printed piece: each manufacturing process is associated with a design technique. In additive manufacturing, there are very specific design rules and tools that…

For some years now, high-performance thermoplastic materials have become more important in the additive manufacturing industry due to their strength, lightness and cost. This is why the European company, 3DGence, has decided to develop industrial 3D printers capable of producing…

Orthoses are medical devices that are made to stabilise, relieve, immobilise, guide or correct a part of the body. Since each patient is different, an efficient orthotic device should be perfectly adapted to the wearer’s body and needs, which in…

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is shaping our society. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive! Check out our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! This week we…

ExOne, the manufacturer of sand and metal binder jetting 3D printers, just announced it has launched a new metal 3D printer, the X1 160PRO. This new system is meant for high-volume production of quality parts, and is actually the tenth…

As we’ve told you before, the startup straight out of MIT, Inkbit, is working towards overcoming traditional 3D printing constraints by giving its machines ‘eyes’ and a ‘brain’. Recently, the company managed to close a $12M equity financing round. The…

The Italian manufacturer Roboze and the chemical company SABIC have unveiled the fruit of their recent collaboration: a new high-temperature 3D printing material, EXTEM™AMHH811F filament.
