3D printing company Stratasys announced the acquisition of quality assurance software company Riven. The Berkeley-based start-up has been a Stratasys connectivity software partner and its cloud-based software solution will now be fully integrated into the Grab CAD Additive Manufacturing Platform.

For the eighth time, the international Formnext Start-up Challenge has recognized young companies from the world of additive manufacturing for their innovative business ideas and technical developments. The award-winning innovations are shining examples of the high innovative power of 3D printing and the AM market.

Bofa International will be returning to the Formnext exhibition this year to showcase its range of Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing filtration and atmosphere management systems.

Manufacturer of parts, photopolymer resins and 3D printers Photocentric will be exhibiting at Formnext 2022 showcasing a wide range of exhibits 3D printed at its purpose-built print farm in Peterborough, UK.

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.

CA Models, a specialist in high-quality, fast-turnaround metal and plastic additive manufacturing, is using new investment in two wire-erosion machines from Sodi-Tech EDM to optimise the process of removing 3D-printed parts from their build platforms.

Small, delicate parts can be processed with high precision on large EDM machines, but not vice versa. What was already possible in EDM drilling, bes Funkenerosion from Fluorn-Winzeln also wanted to realise in wire cutting.

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.

Additive Manufacturing company Desktop Metal has qualified the use of IN625 for the Studio System, a turnkey metal 3D printing platform that offers customers the easiest way to print high-performance metal parts in low volumes for pre-production and end-use applications.

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.
