The developer of quality assurance software to the commercial 3D printing industry, Sigma Additive Solutions, announced that it has joined the EOS Developer Network (EDN). This enables Sigma to provide software and analytics applications from EOS application programming interfaces (APIs).

The manufacturer of large-scale 3D printing systems Massivit 3D Printing Technologies unveiled the new Massivit 10000-G and its flagship Massivit 10000 to the global additive manufacturing market at the recent Formnext exhibition.

The core element of additive manufacturing has always been the 3D printer. However, with so much focus being put on 3D printers, it can be easy to lose sight of the many other important sectors that make 3D printing, especially industrial additive manufacturing, possible.

When it started offering ready-to-install 3D printed plastic and metal components to its customers, the job shop Klaus Stöcker metal processing initially utilized manual post processing methods. Because of the growing demand and stricter requirements of the post processing operation, the company purchased the automated systems S1 for de-powdering and M1 for the surface smoothing and homogenization from AM Solutions.

At Formnext, Stratasys is showcasing additive manufacturing solutions for every stage of the product value chain at Formnext under the theme “Let’s Talk Manufacturing”. It includes an expanding portfolio of materials as well as a the P3 Automated Production Cell, a demonstration project to improve the efficiency of operating fleets of Origin One 3D printers.

The Vista production additive manufacturing system is making its first appearance at Formnext, promising to inspire show visitors to explore new opportunities in the mass production of functional 3D printed parts.

For four days, Formnext 2022 turned host city Frankfurt into the global capital of industrial 3D printing. And this year’s exhibition was very much in tune with the times.

The new claim of the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) is “Innovate Manufacturing”. It is a clarion call to specialists all over the world to come to EMO Hannover from 18 to 23 September 2023.

Demand for polymer materials by mass far exceeds that of metal materials for 3D printing. ID Tech Ex's new report, “Polymer Additive Manufacturing 2023-2033: Technology and Market Outlook”, finds that polymer 3D printing is moving beyond prototyping to high-value adoption by end-users, which will propel its growth to 21.1 billion dollars in 2033.

Plymouth-based company Tooltech manufactures tooling for the aerospace and power generation sectors, producing injection moulds and all the fixturing that goes alongside that. In the past the company hat a lot of surface finish problems and there were a lot of collisions. This is why the Devon manufacturer opted for CAM software from Open Mind Technologies.
