3D Printers

With offices in France and Germany, OKM3D has become the largest distributor of Raise3D products and solutions in Europe. It now operates for Raise3D in 7 countries, including France, Germany, Austria, Poland, etc. Offering a portfolio of innovative brands and…

Not too long ago, the British manufacturer, RPS launched the latest of the Neo stereolithography range, the Neo450 series. Based on the Neo800, the compact Neo450 series has a 450 × 450 × 400 mm platform and builds prototypes, rapid tooling, and master patterns…

At Michigan Technological University, a team revealed plans for an open-source 3D printer called Cerberus. This additive manufacturing solution would be capable of extruding high-performance materials at a relatively affordable price, since the machine itself can be built for less…

In the manufacturing industry, different production methods are used depending on the type of part created. While additive manufacturing has proven its worth, whether for rapid prototyping or end-use part applications, it is still a method that is often complementary…

Founded in 2015, Genera is a Viennese startup that is developing comprehensive 3D printing solutions. During its development phase, the startup identified a key limitation users were facing during production. In fact, users were often left to themselves to manually…

Hybrid machining combines additive and subtractive manufacturing methods in one single solution. The concept was around since 1990’s but it was not commercially popular until recently. Today, more and more manufacturers are developing hybrid 3D printers as the demand for…

Selective laser sintering technology , better known under the acronym SLS, is based on the layer-by-layer melting of a plastic powder using a laser. Several processes based on this technology have been developed over the years to satisfy the needs of the…

It’s been a busy first half of the year for VELO3D: the company launched a new metal 3D printer, and raised $28 million in a Series D funding round. A few days ago, the company also revealed it had raised…

The Chinese manufacturer INTAMSYS has just revealed a new industrial machine designed for printing flexible materials. Called FLEX 510, this is the new addition to the manufacturer’s range of machines focused on high-temperature additive manufacturing, capable of working with technical…

In the last ten years, metal additive manufacturing has taken hold in the industrial sector. Still largely used for prototyping, the technology is slowly reaching a state of maturity that will enable series production of end-use parts. Metal AM processes…

In the 3D printing sector, manufacturers are increasingly looking for composite materials because they offer more interesting mechanical properties, particularly in terms of resistance: the material in question, called a “matrix” (most often a thermoplastic), is reinforced with fibers –…

The manufacturer MakerBot has just launched a new professional machine capable of printing carbon fiber reinforced nylon, also developed by the manufacturer. Named METHOD Carbon Fiber Edition, this solution is based on the METHOD platform developed in December 2018 but…
