Innovations in hardware, software and materials deliver competitive additive manufacturing advantage

Henkel extends its range of high-performance photopolymer resins for VAT polymerization technology with the addition of a new resin for Stereolithography (SLA) technology to explore and expand the opportunities for the next phase of industrial quality solutions which are scalable and reliable.

Schoeller Bleckmann Oilfield Technology Purchases First End-to-end Solution—Including the Sapphire® Printer—in Europe to Expand its Additive Manufacturing Capabilities, Will Join Velo3D at Formnext 2021

Helps teams create functional and design prototypes, build complex parts with precision, reliability and ease, affordably; improve design and manufacturing performance at every level

BCN3D responds to the growing demand of the industry’s need to produce stainless steel parts, mainly within the pharmaceutical, food, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors.

The new Pack enables metal 3D printing to compete directly with current technologies MIM and CNC, offering similar mechanical properties and far more design freedom.

A machine for automatically unpacking complete powder-based plastic 3D printing build spaces. This with consistently good results for the unpacked components and highest reusability of the used powder.

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a manufacturing process used to densify metal and ceramic parts. It is based on applying high levels of pressure (up to 2,000 bar / 200Mpa) and temperature (up to 2,000 °C) through an inert atmosphere to mainly metallic and ceramic parts and components, in order to densify them and give them excellent mechanical properties.

Elkem Silicones will be present at the upcoming Formnext show, the leading industry platform for additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing in Frankfurt in Germany from November, 16th to 19th and will showcase its wide portfolio of silicone solutions for Additive Manufacturing/3D Printin.

Ricoh's proprietary solution leverages the company's leading expertise in inkjet printheads to produce aluminium parts with complex shapes quickly and, most importantly, stably.

While metal additive technology is anticipated to grow significantly in the Japanese domestic market in coming years, it is still at an early growth stage.

Key to the domestic growth of metal additive manufacturing are specialist service bureaus who are guiding and educating Japanese manufacturers as they try to deploy the technology to overcome internal hurdles such as defining in-house design processes, select materials and plan for capital equipment investments.

Henkel and Nexa3D, the maker of ultrafast polymer 3D printers, today announced the signing of a new material development agreement. This agreement builds upon the companies’ partnership and deepens their joint commitment to advancing the capabilities of additive manufacturing (AM) for volume production.

After last year’s enforced switch to a purely online offering as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Formnext 2021 will return as an in-person event, continuing the successful trend of previous years. The leading international exhibition for additive manufacturing and modern industrial production, which this year takes place from 16 -19 November 2021 in Frankfurt am Main, will feature more than 600 exhibitors (55% from abroad) in three halls (11.0, 12.0 and 12.1), as well as an extensive and diverse program of supporting events.
