The provider of automated and portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services Creaform will be presenting its portable 3D scanners at Gifa 2023. The scanners are used in the casting industry, particularly in product development and quality assurance. Visitors will also be able to find out more about automated 3D scanning solutions.

At the Moulding Expo, Sigma Engineering presents the simulation-based design of tempering systems using Sigmasoft. In collaboration with /H&B/ Electronic, conventional cooling is compared with conformal cooling. Additionally, optimised cooling channels made from metal 3D printing are presented, which can offer significant advantages.

The provider of plastic machining and fabrication services, IPFL, announced the 20th anniversary of its 3D printing division. Over the past two decades, the company has become renowned for its advanced printing capabilities, offering Polyjet, SLS, MJF, FDM, SLA, and micro 3D printing.

From 13 to 16 June, Messe Stuttgart will once again be staging the Moulding Expo. With almost 400 exhibitors, the international trade fair offers the top manufacturers all about innovative processes and services in the field of tool, model and mould making. Speedpart from Hasloch/Main will also be there and will be presenting its innovative mould making process complemented by 3D printing.

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, allows Seco Tools to create products that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to manufacture. The advantages include shorter lead times, improved tool life and increased sustainability.

Industrial 3D printing expert Titomic has further expanded into Europe by entering into a reseller agreement with Multistation, located in Paris, France.

Mapping a 3D printing process as a continuous digital process chain from the component design to the production and post-processing is the logical consequence of a digital Additive Manufacturing strategy. This objective that Aim3D has set itself has been taken up by the Naddcon research and development centre in Lichtenfels (Germany), which specialises in Additive Manufacturing.

Fuzzy Logic has announced on its website the launch of Fuzzy Studio, its industrial robotics programming and simulation software that requires no programming skills. Previously reserved for a select few customers, the software is now available online to a wider audience. It comes with informative documentation and tutorials.

Mapping a 3D printing process as a continuous digital process chain from design to manufacturing and post-processing is the logical consequence of a digital-additive manufacturing strategy. On behalf of AIM3D, the development service provider Naddcon has now integrated the ExAM 255 3D printer into the Siemens NX environment.

The 28th Fakuma international trade fair for plastics processing is being awaited with great anticipation. The trade fair for injection moulding, which also serves as a technology and industry barometer for extrusion technology, thermoforming and 3D printing, will offer information on new solutions and provide fresh impetus for circular economy in Friedrichshafen from the 17th through the 21st of October, 2023.
