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…

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,…

A few weeks ago we introduced you to Meltio, the new actor in metal additive fabrication, who will showcase its new 3E Metal Deposition technology and M450 3D printer during the new edition of Formnext. The difference between Meltio’s 3D…

Demand for advanced thermoplastic polymers such as PEEK, PEKK or PEI, compatible with 3D printing has been growing for some time now. Tractus3D was one of the first companies to identify the need for a large-scale 3D printer that could work…

GF Machining Solutions (GF), a division of the Swiss company Georg Fischer, specialised in the mechanical industry, is strengthening its presence in the metal additive manufacturing market through a partnership with the manufacturer 3D Systems. By combining their respective expertise…

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…

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…

You all know Desktop Metal for its metal 3D printers, designed to fit into an office environment with the Studio System and to also enable mass manufacture with the Production System. The U.S. manufacturer has announced the launch of a…

It’s no secret that additive manufacturing has been changing and will continue to change our creation and manufacturing processes. In opposition to subtractive manufacturing, objects are conceptualised, designed and then created layer by layer. Such an approach has meant that…

For three years now, several European researchers have been working on the KRAKEN project, a hybrid manufacturing system combining 3D printing and subtractive production methods. Equipped with three interchangeable additive manufacturing technologies and a 4th subtractive manufacturing head, the KRAKEN…

We’ve been expecting the Origin One platform to start shipping for a while now. The US startup Origin announced the launch of its new machine back in May – it’s an open additive platform based on Programmable Photopolymerization technology. The…
