The food and beverage company has a team of three experts using 3D printing systems to produce replacement and spare parts, with a tandardised process for 3D printing technology being developed in the last year.
The consortium includes 3T Additive Manufacturing, BeyondMath, Qdot Technology and the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, and has received 14.1 million GBP of funding from the UK Government.
The annual event, which focuses on additive manufacturing education and training, will open registration to all owners and operators of industrial 3D printing technologies on September 2, 2025.
With an emphasis on transportation-grade homologations and standards, the four new materials consist of two elastomers (RU55 - Shore 55A and RU70 - Shore 70A) and two rigid polymers (ST3-V0 and ST3-HB).
The two-year contract marks the second phase of a project that was first announced in 2023 to support the development of large-scale ‘hypersonic-relevant’ 3D printing capabilities.
The two-year contract will see Kraetonics’ flagship OmniSlice software used to enable the fast design and 3D printing of structures containing the advanced FSS technology, which the company says can be delivered “in a matter of hours.”
In partnership with RTX and the Raytheon Technologies Research Center (RTRC), Velo3D is looking to develop a high throughput process that is cost-effective.
Private investment firm Partners Group has acquired a significant minority stake in the company for 65 million USD, while existing shareholders have grown their respective shares for around 39 million USD.
