This month’s ECO3D contains a wide variety of business<\/a> and economic news in the world of 3D printing. This month, many new and established companies secured investments, were purchased by larger companies, or announced big news regarding their future. We’ve included all the best news summarised below.<\/p>\n

3YOURMIND secures $12M investment<\/h3>\n

Berlin-based 3D software company 3YOURMIND has raised $12M through a funding round. The company has already expanded into the US since last year but will use this to open an office in New York City, in addition to developing new software tools and programs to increase the ease and efficiency of industrial 3D printing processes. The investment round was led by UVC Partners, and included TRUMPF and AMV, a sister companyy of 3D printer manufacturer EOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ANSYS acquires 3DSIM for undisclosed fee<\/h3>\n

ANSYS are an engineering simulation software developer, and has acquired 3DSIM who create software to simulate 3D printing. Their products, such as their exaSIM software, allow users to predict and identify areas that may come under stress in production. This avoids build failures without requiring printing. It is thought that ANSYS will use this to offer customers a complete additive manufacturing simulation through their software.<\/p>

$347K Grant for Australian uni 3D bioprinting facility<\/h3>\n

Australia\u2019s University of Wollongong has been granted A$347,000 ($262,358) to establish a 3D bioprinting facility. This will allow the university to develop 3D printable bioinks, as well as new bioprinting systems.<\/p>\n

Stratasys with losses in the third quarter <\/span><\/h3>\n

Stratasys<\/a>, a leading 3D printer manufacturer, published gross sales of $155.9M in the third quarter, with a total loss of $10.2M. This was however less than last year’s losses, at $21M. In addition, American printing giant 3D Systems<\/a> also reported disappointing numbers. Their revenue declined 2% to $152.9M compared to 2016. Nevertheless, the company believes it is “on track” and has created “the appropriate structure for future sustainable growth.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Candid raises $15M<\/h3>\n

Candid, an additive manufacturing startup, has raised $15M. This is to develop its transparent 3D printed gutters. No need to go to the dentist to make custom gutters, Candid prints them in 3D after making a fingerprint directly feasible at home. Thanks to this new investment, the American startup will be able to propose its personalized gutters in new markets<\/p>\n

MakeX launch Migo 3D Printer on Kickstarter<\/h3>\n

MakeX launched its Kickstarter campaign for its new FDM 3D printer, Migo. This small machine easily transportable thanks to its handle and its weight of 2.5 kg has already raised more than 100 000 \u20ac, far exceeding its initial objective. Available in two different sizes, it offers a print volume of 100 x 120 x 100 mm or 150 x 150 x 150 mm for the large version.<\/p>\n
