3D Printers

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…

It is certainly no secret that 3D printing is being integrated into more and more sectors. This includes more traditional manufacturing industries, where additive manufacturing is increasingly being adopted as a complementary technology to produce more lightweight yet still strong…

FDM technology is one of the most widely used processes in the 3D printing industry, favored in particular for its ease of use and accessibility. Many companies have had an impact on this market, and among the most influential players…

In 1986, Charles Hull filed one of the first commercial patents in the 3D printing sector for stereolithography (SLA), a process which uses a laser to polymerize photosensitive resins, layer by layer. Since its invention, other photopolymerization methods have been…
