Berlin/Los Angeles-based startup 1000 Kelvin announced the full commercial availability of its AI-powered software, Amaize, at Formnext 2023. The company also unveiled its first integrations with commercial 3D printer manufacturers - including EOS — and customers, including a California-based rocket launch provider.

At Formnext, CRP Technology showcased its latest materials for manufacturing processes. The mock-up of Flying-CAM's Discovery UAS and Experia's new zero-emission Green Tourer motorcycle, both with parts 3D printed in Windform, were on display.

Stratasys' latest study, commissioned by Amgta and in collaboration with Dyloan Bond Factory, showcases the environmental impact of additive manufacturing in fashion. The report compares 3D material jetting with traditional methods in producing luxury goods, revealing substantial reductions in CO2e emissions, raw material usage, water, and energy consumption, while also streamlining the supply chain.

In collaboration, Lehvoss and Evonik have developed a new 3D printing material, PA613 with carbon fibre reinforcement, for industrial applications. This innovative material, developed specifically for laser sintering, combines low moisture absorption, high temperature stability and high process stability.

Toyota has become the first to purchase Stratasys' new F3300 3D printer, enhancing their production support and prototyping efficiency.

Technology company Trumpf enables cost-effective and sustainable mass production with its 3D printers. In many cases, the high-tech company uses the systems for its own sustainable production of series parts.

Create it Real and Aim 3D partner to advance 3D printing capabilities with the integration of Voxelfill technology into the Exam 255 and Exam 510 systems. This collaboration brings the innovative Slicex software solution, leveraging Voxelfill's cross-layer filling strategy to produce stronger, more uniform 3D components in a range of materials including metals and ceramics.

Manufacturing spare parts for the rail industry is a complex task, as many ageing components are no longer available on the market, requiring bespoke manufacturing processes. This can result in significant costs, idle trains and extended delivery times. Nikon SLM Solutions is able to address this issue with its additive manufacturing technology.

3D printing company Ultimaker announced the relaunch of the new Makerbot as the only 3D printing brand solely dedicated to 3D printing for education. As part of this relaunch, the company expanded Makerbot Certification, its comprehensive 3D printing training and curriculum development programs, which are now available in multiple languages, including French, Spanish, German and British English.
