The software technology company says the suite, which comprises software for measurement and quality control, mesh and surface model creation, and scan-to-CAD workflows, is now integrated into its Manufacturing Intelligence division.
The facility, which is geared towards sustainable additive manufacturing, will launch with an event on May 7th at the university’s Elite Centre for Manufacturing Skills (ECMS) on its Springfield Campus.
The polymer additive manufacturing pioneer said the Neo800+ is geared towards industries such as automotive and aerospace for large, high-fidelity parts, citing applications in wind tunnel testing, prototyping, and tooling.
Suzy represents Sinterit’s fourth generation of additive manufacturing products over the last decade and is said to be aimed at a broad base of users across industry and education.
The collaboration is being led by £1.4 million in funding from Innovate UK and aims to cultivate new sustainable materials tailored for single-use bioreactors.
The document, published on Friday, emphasises how 3D printing technologies can be used to boost supply chain resilience through decentralised manufacturing, increase speed of response, shorten lead times, and combat part obsolescence.
More than 100 submissions have been whittled down to just under 60 shortlisted projects across 11 awards categories, with winners to be celebrated at a black-tie ceremony this summer.
The organisation, which provides assurances and classifications to the energy and maritime industries, says the new practice ‘DNV-RP-B205 Digital inventories and on-demand manufacturing’ will help to cut costs and improve efficiencies.
The Bambu Lab H2D is an all-in-one desktop fused deposition modelling system comprising 3D printing, laser engraving, cutting and plotting functionality, meaning users can go from 3D printed part to finished product on the same platform.
