A new technology makes 3D metal printing possible for mass production. The new “Supersonic 3D Deposition” technology is able to print metal parts in a fraction of the time and can use aluminium and copper powder.

As an industry-leading design, development, test and production facility for additively manufactured (AM) products, Alloyed Ltd recently encountered challenges with its supporting EDM machining processes. As a company at the cutting-edge of technology, the Stone based business turned to the Engineering Technology Group (ETG) and it's Mitsubishi EDM solution.

The developer of in-situ quality assurance solutions for additive manufacturing, Sigma Additive Solutions, has formalised its program of working with universities, research labs, government organizations, and industrial companies to provide a platform for improving collaboration related to in-situ monitoring and real-time analysis for quality assurance, certification, and qualification of additively manufactured parts.

Swedish company VBN Components, known for its wear and heat resistant Vibenite alloys, has appointed Magnus Bergman as its new CEO.

6K Additive announced a strategic AM powder supply agreement and recycling partnership with Freeville, NY-based Incodema3D. The company sought to secure a domestic AM metals powder supply that met strict quality standards and a solution for recycling their used powder and parts.

At the Formnext 2022 international trade fair for additive manufacturing (AM) and allied processes, DMG Mori will feature its Lasertec 30 Dual SLM (selective laser melting) metal powder-bed machine linked to one of its DMP 35 vertical machining centres for post-processing the 3D-printed components.

Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly important. Foundries can also benefit from 3D printing. But how does it work and where is it used?

What are the biggest trends affecting the additive manufacturing materials market? There are numerous influential factors changing the 3D printing materials industry, which ID Tech Ex forecasts to increase at a CAGR of 18.6 percent over the next decade to reach 29.5 billion dollars in 2032.

3D printing company Stratasys has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the additive manufacturing materials business of Covestro.

With over 730 exhibitors and more than 50,000 m2 of gross floorspace booked by September, Formnext has already surpassed last year’s figures, paving the way for an exceptional 2022. The exhibition for additive manufacturing and modern industrial production also wants to set new standards in content.
