Tri-Tech 3D, a leading provider of Stratasys 3D printing technology, has been acquired by the Stanford Marsh Group. Stanford Marsh Group will look to continue the progress Tri-Tech has made in the 3D printing sector over the last nine years.
Polish 3D printer manufacturer, Verashape has licensed Siemens product lifecycle management (PLM) Parasolid Communicator software to better prepare and import 3D models for printing.
Large industrial 3D printer manufacturer, Titan Robotics featured its latest technology, The Cronus, at the CES 3D Printing Marketplace sponsored by TCT last week. The printer encompasses five print heads to build bigger parts in quicker time.
Californian additive manufacturing company, ALT LLC has announced it will launch an Indiegogo Campaign to recycle plastics for high performance 3D printing filament, after it realised AM methods introduce plastic waste into landfills and waterways.
Advanced Fusion Plastic Modelling is said to deliver superior form and filament compared to other additive techniques, such as SLS, FDM and FFF, and thus produce output which is more accurate.
A team of designers from Canada have created a 3D printer accessory that monitors and cleans the filament. The designers have gone about creating the accessory so production is not ruined midway through due to low filament levels.
Leading global supplier of high performance materials for critical applications, Henkel is focused on developing novel filament and powder materials in the additive manufacturing field. In preparation, Henkel has partnered with DUS Architects.
A Dutch technological university have established themselves as one of the most successful teams in Formula Student with the help of 3D technology. TU Delft have 3D-printed their steering wheel and an integral bracket.
A teacher from Tasmania has found a way to recycle marine rope offcuts and turn it into 3D printing filament. Mr Gogolin figured he could melt unwanted plastic rope into a thin, consistent filament for the printer, reducing the amount of waste.
Wide-format inkjet printer manufacturer, Roland DG Corporation will be showcasing the potential of its new ceramic 3D printing technology using alumina powder at formnext.
Ian Wright has teamed up with 3D printing filament manufacturers, Floreon, to take part in a competition and promote the use of greener plastics. By designing a stylish pair of glasses for the Arsenal legend, you could win an Ultimaker 2+ printer.
