As you probably know, stereolithography is considered to be the original 3D printing process. However, since that first equipment was patented in 1984 by Charles Hull, many new technologies have been developed. Indeed, processes such as binder jetting, material jetting…

The German company OKM3D is expanding its network throughout Europe with the signing of two new distribution agreements: the first with Anisoprint for the whole of Europe; the second with Shining3D for France, Benelux and England. The agreements will allow…

For Solvay’s 3rd Annual Additive Manufacturing Cup, the company is joining forces with L’Oréal, the world’s beauty leader, and Ultimaker, a global leader in professional 3D printing, to challenge students, engineers, and creators from around the world to create innovative…

Spanish startup Pangea Aerospace and the company Aenium have signed a partnership to develop and industrialize advanced 3D printed combustion devices made from innovative materials. Together, they have designed a 3D printed aerospike nozzle rocket engine that should be 15%…

Because of their ease of use, functionality and material compatibility, 3D pens are becoming increasingly popular in the additive manufacturing market. Based on the FDM process, 3D pens are for some an alternative to desktop 3D printers, although the finishes…

Large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) by direct pellet extrusion, also called FGF (Fused Granular Fabrication), is a technology that until recently required not only a large investment, but was also not easy to make profitable and presented certain limitations in terms…

Founded in 2018, MELD Manufacturing has developed a metal 3D printer that’s a bit unusual: while most current solutions rely on fusion processes, thus melting metal particles together, this machine operates by using friction and pressure to make the material…

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…

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…
