Top 5 Videos: metal 3D printing and much more!

Published on May 2, 2020 by Carlota V.

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is changing production. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive – check our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!

Top 1: A new 3D printer from Stratasys

The manufacturer Stratasys unveiled this week its new 3D printer, the J55, a desktop solution based on PolyJet technology. More compact and accessible, it is aimed at all designers who need to create 3D parts before validating their final ideas. The J55 is equipped with a rotating print table and a fixed print head, which allows parts to be designed more quickly. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in July 2020.

Top 2: The Digital Additive Manufacturing Marathon

Last week we invited you to DAMM 2020, the first digital marathon dedicated to additive manufacturing. The principle was simple: for 26.2 hours, thousands of industry professionals were able to attend conferences and interact with their peers. The event brought together more than 2,000 participants from 85 different countries, proof that communication is crucial in this sector, which is deprived of its exhibitions for the time being. We invite you to follow the welcome message from the show’s organizers, including 3Dnatives. Stay tuned for a second edition!

Top 3: An industrial metal 3D printer

UK manufacturer Renishaw has developed a range of metal 3D printers to enable manufacturers to create quality parts. With its software solution and post-processing tools, the company is able to offer a solution covering the entire value chain. Among its machines is the RenAM 500Q which has a printing volume of 250 x 250 x 350 mm.

 Top 4: How to adopt 3D printing

Pam from Youngstown, Ohio has worked with additive manufacturing for over 30 years, and within the last ten, made the move to open up her own contract 3D printing business. re:3D tells the story of how Pam installed 3D printers in the basement of her home to start her business. Learn more below!

Top 5: Designing for additive manufacturing

A machining piece is not designed in the same way as a 3D printed piece: each manufacturing process is associated with a design technique. In additive manufacturing, there are very specific design rules and tools that will allow you to create an optimized design, ready for 3D printing. These methods are generally grouped under the term Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) – developed to optimize the functional performance of the part as much as possible, but also its cost, reliability, and other product life-cycle considerations. Several techniques are used today, such as generative design, topology optimization or the creation of lattice structures. The Additive Manufacturing for Innovative Design and Production from MIT teaches you exactly that!
