Mosaic Manufacturing is a Canadian company that made a name for itself in 2014 with Palette. This piece of equipment connects to a FDM 3D printer and allows for multi-color and multi-material parts without having to modify the extruder. Based…

A laser engraver is a machine that reproduces a shape (symbol, photo, logo, etc.) on a variety of materials using a heat source – a laser in this case. In concrete terms, the laser heats up wood, metal, leather or…

The additive manufacturing industry never sleeps. This has been proven again  by Stratasys and DyeMansion, who, after unveiling new machines and solutions within the last two months, have now announced that they are working together on a new project. Leading…

Roboze, an Italian-American manufacturer of industrial 3D printing technology, announced the launch of Roboze Automate earlier this week. Claimed to be the first industrial automation system bring customized 3D printing with super polymers and composites into the production workflow, Roboze…

Industry Supplies is a manufacturer known for developing the KODAK 3D Portrait Printer in 2018. The company has also developed its own brand called Smart3D under which it produces a high-volume 3D printer and a portfolio of thermoplastic filaments, one…

What if you could estimate the production costs associated with additive manufacturing? This is what AMOTool, the new online tool developed by the Finnish company Etteplan, offers. It is actually designed for metal 3D printing technologies and would allow companies…

Large-format 3D printer manufacturer Thermwood Corporation has unveiled a new approach to XXL 3D printing: the creation of parts vertically, rather than horizontally like all machines on the market. This development will allow the  company to further increase its printing…

Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is part of the powder bed fusion family. Unlike Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), it uses, as its name suggests, an electron beam to fuse metal particles and create, layer by layer, the desired part. Marketed…

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a more complex 3D printing process, typically used to repair or add additional material to existing components. It is completely possible to fabricate parts from scratch using this technology, but it is often used for…

All technologies part of the Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) family use a build platform containing powder material to additively manufacture a part – the powder can be polymers or metals. It was during the 1990s that several companies began exploring…

There are currently multiple additive manufacturing technologies that exist in the industry, each focusing on different materials and sectors. Today, we present to you our complete guide on Binder Jetting, a technology used for ceramic materials, metals and more recently…

3D printing continues at a frantic pace, but the processes behind this technology are still unclear to some. After our articles on Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technologies, we now present Material Jetting. This process is…
