3D Printers

Often FDM 3D printers are associated with a single extrusion head, also called an extruder, which melts and then deposits the filament on the printing plate layer-by-layer. However, increasingly, it is possible to find FDM machines that come equipped with two…

The use of pellets as a material for extrusion 3D printing is proving to be an increasingly viable technology. Already it is offered by a number of players in the market, particularly for large-format 3D printing. In fact, the benefits…

In the ever-expanding realm of innovation, Xiaomi, a massive Chinese designer and manufacturer of consumer electronics, software, home appliances, and household hardware, has taken its first step into the world of additive manufacturing with the introduction of its debut product,…

RAYSHAPE is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in the development and sale of resin 3D printers. With a wealth of experience in the field, founder Bill Liu and his teams have developed a full range of DLP 3D printers over the…

One of the terms that we have increasingly heard in the 3D printing field is IDEX. Meaning independent dual extruders, the technique allows for two print heads to move independently of each other. Each has a nozzle and can print…

3D printing has come a long way since its origins in the 1980s. Though originally used almost exclusively for rapid prototyping, over the past few years we have seen additive manufacturing technologies rapidly industrialize and be used for end-use parts…

In Russia, a groundbreaking 3D printer has been introduced, promising to revolutionize the country’s nuclear industry with additive manufacturing. Rosatom – Additive Technologies (RusAT), a subsidiary of Russian nuclear fuel manufacturer TVEL and part of the state nuclear corporation Rosatom,…

Large-format 3D printing is one of the trends the industry has seen in recent years that promises to revolutionize the way companies produce large-scale products. Its accuracy, speed and versatility make 3D printing an ideal solution for large-scale product production.…

Though additive manufacturing is rapidly industrializing, it is important to not forget that so many of the innovations we have today were a direct result of the RepRap movement that started in 2005 (and continues to this day). Furthermore, that…

3D printing is evolving by the minute and innovations in the sector are not about to stop, whether in terms of speed, materials or size: machine manufacturers are always looking for more volume or on the contrary are in search…

In 2010, as part of the Reprap movement, a team of Dutch enthusiasts decided to build their own FDM printer, the Elserbot, in a Fablab. A year later, in 2011, this same team founded the company Ultimaker by commercializing the…

Late last year, French manufacturer 3DCeram Sinto has announced the launch of a new ceramic 3D printer, the C101 EASY, which is designed for the easy and rapid development of prototypes and parts for universities, research centers and industry. Presented…
