With Ultrafuse 17-4 PH, Forward AM is launching a filament comprising metal powder with a polymer binder for fused filament fabrication (FFF). It enables the safe, easy and cost-efficient production of metal parts for prototypes, metal tooling and functional metal parts in FFF. After the debinding and sintering process, the final 3D printed part is 17-4 stainless steel. The new 3D printing filament is suited for a wide range of applications such as tooling, jigs and fixtures and functional prototypes. Corrosion resistance and the ability to be fully heat treated to high levels of strength and hardness make Ultrafuse 17-4…
LogicMonitor, a cloud-based IT infrastructure monitoring and observability platform, debuted a new initiative to help shape the future of technology with a scholarship for women pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM), the company says. LogicMonitor is accepting applications for the Women in STEM Scholarship now until March 31, 2021. Despite making up roughly 50% of the workforce, women hold less than 30% of STEM jobs, and men vastly outnumber women majoring in most STEM fields at the higher education level. The LogicMonitor Women in STEM Scholarship seeks to break the gender gap disparity by providing financial support…
Jürgen von Hollen, Ultimaker CEO Ultimaker has appointed Jürgen von Hollen as chief executive officer, replacing Jos Burger, who will retire and join the Supervisory Board. This change goes into effect Jan. 1, 2021. Jos Burger joined Ultimaker in 2014 and transformed the company from a start-up to a global player in the 3D printing industry, according to company officials. According to the most recent findings from the UK market intelligence firm CONTEXT, in the first half of 2020, strong demand from work-from-home scenarios allowed for Ultimaker to ascend to the top two position in global 3D Printer hardware shipment…
The new SynDaver Axi 3D printer went on sale beginning today for more than $1,000 off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, the company announced in late November. The Axi, which is used byprofessionals and general consumers, normally retails for $3,250, but went on sale for $2,195 beginning now in honor of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The SynDaver Axi is made in America and features a large color touchscreen; a heated, automatic self-leveling and removable bed plate; an E3D Hemera toolhead; all of which allows for precision and dimensional accuracy. Unlike many 3D printers, the Axi can print large volume…
PTC and Ansys have announced a CAD joint offering hat combines the PTC Creo platform with the Ansys set of high-fidelity solvers. Creo Ansys Simulation adds simulation to the modeling environment and, according to the companies, democratizes technology in a way that can help improve quality and reduce costs. “Ansys and PTC are rapidly delivering on our common goal to seamlessly integrate simulation into product design,” said Mark Hindsbo, vice president and general manager for the Ansys Design Business Unit. “This next joint offering expands the simulation capabilities for designers in Creo and, equally importantly, offers integrated workflows between PTC’s…
Earlier this year, MachiningCloud, an independent provider of 3D cutting tool, toolholder, machines and workholding data, announced a new purchasing option for its online service. Now, customers will have the ability to order products directly from the website, closing the loop with features to download tooling geometry and application information. The new shopping cart functionality streamlines the tool selection and procurement process by giving users real-time visibility to inventory levels, pricing and discount schedules, shipping options, and projected delivery dates. It also provides an easy and secure way to pay for those tools via credit card or ACH checking. The…
CoreTechnologie debuts new additive manufacturing software. With the new Advanced Lattice module, components can be filled with honeycomb, gyroid, star and many other lattice patterns. With the new 4D_Additive 3D-Printing software, CAD data is prepared as intelligent, exact B-Rep geometry for 3D printing processes and can be saved in common 3D printing formats as well as STEP. With the new Advanced Lattice module, components can be filled with honeycomb, gyroid, star and many other lattice patterns. For the creation of lightweight components, external lattice structures can be created at the push of a button. Optimal heat distribution To achieve the…
Titan Robotics is launching its largest industrial large-format 3D printing system, the Atlas 3.6. With a build volume of 50x50x72-in., the Atlas 3.6 is one of the largest production additive manufacturing systems on the market with sextrusion technology and an actively heated enclosure, enabling customers to print large parts out of high-performance materials including CF-PEI, GF-PEKK, nylons, ABS and more. The Atlas 3.6 is designed to handle the additional weight and size of the machine, making it compatible with Titan’s Dual Pellet Extrusion and Hybrid Pellet + Filament Extrusion systems. Built with a heavy-duty, rigid design and components, the Atlas…
A new record for Weerg, which, exactly one year after the installation of 6 HP Jet Fusion 5210 3D industrial printers, doubles the production capacity in a single operation by purchasing six more printers from the same series.
