Toyota has signed an agreement to be the first customer to purchase Stratasys' new F3300 Fused Deposition Modelling 3D printer, which was launched at Formnext this week.
Through this acquisition, BigRep believes it will realise 'far-reaching synergies' by offering a full spectrum of low-to-high temperature additive manufacturing solutions.
Nexa3D has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Essentium, adding an extrusion 3D printing technology to its existing VAT photopolymerisation and powder bed fusion processes.
Promising reduced labour, maximised uptime and higher part quality and yield, Stratasys believes the F3300 to be the ‘most sophisticated industrial 3D printer on the market.’
It follows years of development work and a six-month customer pilot where a select number of users were able to deploy the fused filament fabrication 3D printer configurations.
Asahi Kasei has announced that it has started sales for 3D printing filaments in North America through Asahi Kasei Plastics North America, Inc. (APNA). APNA says it has plans to advance two business initiatives targeted at the 3D printing sector.
3D Systems has announced a patient-specific cranial implant additively manufactured with its extrusion technology has been successfully used in a cranioplasty at the University Hospital Basel.
Evonik has announced the introduction of a new carbon-fibre reinforced PEEK filament, for use in 3D printed medical implants. The smart biomaterial can be processed in common extrusion-based AM technologies such as fused filament fabrication.
Peopoly has announced the launch of its Magneto X extrusion 3D printer, which is equipped with a proprietary magnetic levitation linear motor system for the X and Y axes.
Sygnis SA has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, under which it has been granted a license to use the university’s newly developed method of modifying 3D printing filament.
