Aim 3D's new material qualification study on the Exam 510 system reveals promising advancements in 3D printing using Ultem 9085 resin pellets. With potential cost savings up to a factor of seven and increased build speeds, the technology aims to disrupt traditional filament-based 3D printing, particularly in high-performance sectors like aerospace.

In conventional injection moulding, undesirable, poorly flowing areas often occur in the hot runner due to roughness around the valve pin. This results in degradation reactions in the plastic melt and exceptionally long colour transitions. The new Shadowfree manifold concept from Hasco Hot Runner uses a revolutionary design to combat this problem.

The 28th Fakuma international trade fair, held from October 17-21, 2023, showcased the latest innovations in plastics processing, drawing in 1636 exhibitors — a ten percent increase from 2021 — and over 39,000 professionals.

Renishaw, a technology trailblazer, is renowned for its unparalleled precision in measurement and manufacturing. Born from the innovation of the touch-trigger probe for the Concorde's Olympus engines, the company is now a pioneer in fields ranging from 3D printing to robotics.

A Warwickshire manufacturer is transforming the world of additive manufacturing after securing a string of global contract wins. Ryse 3D has carved a niche in the sector for its ability to provide production components to some of the automotive world’s most exciting current and future vehicles.

The 28th Fakuma international trade fair will be opening its doors in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from 17 to 21 October 2023. The trade fair highlight for injection moulding, extrusion technology, thermoforming and 3D printing will focus on several future-oriented topics.

Formnext's ninth international Start-up Challenge recognises five emerging companies for their groundbreaking work in additive manufacturing. Hailing from four different countries, these winners showcase innovations ranging from medical applications, material recycling and new 3D printing technologies for various industries.

Maintaining a consistent temperature within a mould is critical for both robust manufacturing processes and high quality components. At the upcoming Fakuma, Sigma Engineering will be demonstrating the design of cooling systems using its Sigmasoft software. A case study with /H&B/ Electronic illustrates a cooling channel created using metal 3D printing technology.

To overcome various machining challenges and boost productivity, Seco has introduced new toolholders, PCBN inserts, round carbide inserts and extra-long solid carbide drills with enhanced versatility and tool life. These innovative products are aimed at applications ranging from general ISO turning to high-volume hard turning and deep hole drilling.

The international provider of parts manufacturing services, Quickparts, has announced an update to its customer portal. This update includes new features such as an instant quote option for CNC machining projects.
