3D-Systems has announced the SLA 750 stereolithography solution for additive manufacturing, which is designed to make it easier to produce large products or high volumes. The new range includes the SLA 750 and SLA 750 Dual 3D printers, as well as the new Accura AMX Durable Natural material and the Post Cure 1050 post-processing system. This new manufacturing solution has the potential to enable cost-effective SLA batch production. This is demonstrated by the fact that twice the speed and three… Read More »New 3D printing platform for plastic series components

Benchmarking of 3D printing technologies, granular market forecasts, and complete player analysis After initial commercialization in the 1990s, metal additive manufacturing (also referred to as 3D printing of metals) has witnessed a flurry of interest in recent years. Key players have been quick to capitalize on this demand, enjoying exponential revenue growth since 2013 as a result. This comprehensive technical report from IDTechEx gives the detailed status and outlook for the industry. Built upon an extensive history in the market… Read More »Metal Additive Manufacturing 2022-2032: Technology and Market Outlook

Activities during last six months: Finalizing The Online Training Modules: After uploading the whole training contents in both technical and transversal fields to the platform which has been done by KIT, the revising and finalizing process has been started by ILI.

Innovative online training course for teachers and VET students to promote knowledge in 3D printing. The SAMANTHA project gives the opportunity to VET teachers and students, as well as professionals interested in this sector, to improve their knowledge and technical and transversal skills in an online course on 3D Printing focused on the production of tools or habitat products. One of the most important skills in the professional, personal and social areas, as stated by the European Commission.                      The course… Read More »SAMANTHA offers the latest in 3D printing in its online training course in Spain

SAM project is a Sector Skills Strategy in Additive Manufacturing which has similar objectives with this initiative SAM project is a Sector Skills Strategy in Additive Manufacturing which aims to tackle the current European need for developing an effective system to identify and anticipate the right skills for the Additive Manufacturing (AM) sector demands in response to the increasing labour market needs, thus, contributing for the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth of the AM sector in line with the SAMANTHA… Read More »The SAMANTHA project allies with another Erasmus+ project in the field of Additive Manufacturing

The use of 3D printing for tooling and production primarily benefits humans, either directly through medical and consumer applications, or indirectly by improving systems and processes that humans use. But 3D printing is also benefiting animals in a variety of ways, some of which may come to bear on how it will help humans in the future. I discussed five instances of additive manufacturing’s overlap with animals (pets and otherwise) in this week’s episode of the AM Radio podcast.
