3D Printers

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…

Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois have developed a new 3D printer that can supposedly print at record speed, around half a yard (46 cm) per hour, a ground-breaking throughput in the world of 3D printing. The system is known…

Metal additive manufacturing is one of the segments of the AM market that has grown the most in recent years. According to the Wohlers Report, from 2017 to 2018 the sale of metal 3D printing solutions grew by 80%, of…

Best known for its many micromachining tools for makers, the American manufacturer Dremel launched into the world of 3D printing in 2014 with a first model called Idea Builder. Since then, the brand has expanded its range, adding three 3D…

Essentium Inc. has announced a series of business expansion initiatives in response to growing market demand for the company’s platform of industrial-scale additive manufacturing solutions. The company’s High Speed Extrusion (HSE) 180 S 3D printing platform is designed to enable…

A team of researchers from the University of Maine revealed the largest 3D printed part in the world. It is a boat, the 3Dirigo, designed on a large-format polymer 3D printer developed by the UMaine Advanced Structures and Composites Center.…
