SPEE3D,Liberty Powder Metals,Nexa3D和Pikus 3D的新3D打印合作伙伴关系

Kicking off this week’s partnership news, theAustralian Army已经扩展了与澳大利亚冷喷雾剂3D打印机制造商的合作伙伴关系SPEE3D试用该公司的技术持续12个月。以前执行过公司的WarpsPee3D 3D打印机的现场试验, the Army will now work with SPEE3D to develop new systems with the potential to significantly increase its on-demand inventory of metal repair parts.

“We’re really excited about this new step in our partnership with the Australian Army,” said Steven Camilleri, CTO of SPEE3D. “Last year, in the trials, our technology proved the potential to complement Defence’s existing supply chain with the ability to easily replace damaged parts by manufacturing their own. SPEE3D is pleased to have been selected to partner with the Army again in further developing the future capability of Defence in Australia.”

Meanwhile, 3D printer manufacturernexa3dhas formed a partnership with 3D printing value-added resellerCREAT3Dto provide the latter’s customers with access to Nexa3D’s patented lubricant sublayer photo-curing (LSPc) 3D printer, the NXE400. Equipped with a 16-liter build volume and offering 20x productivity, the machine can reach top printing speeds of one centimeter per minute to enable the rapid manufacture of large components.

“As demand for flexible manufacturing of high-quality components increases, both on-site and on-demand, businesses are under pressure to deliver,” said Simon Chandler, CREAT3D Director. “Our partnership with Nexa3D gives our customers the equipment they need to meet this demand. The NXE400 decreases printing cycles from hours to just minutes – giving customers a competitive edge.”

自由粉金属,由自由之家集团, a UK-based industrial metals company, has appointed its first distributor as part of the company’s strategy to build a global distribution network. Metals and plastics supplierRighton & Blackburns Limitedwill be the firm’s sole distributor for its UK and Ireland markets, stocking 10 tons of powder metals from LIBERTY’s premium powder portfolio.

The powders will be held at Righton & Blackburn’s national distribution center in the West Midlands, which serves as a hub to its network of 10 service centers throughout the region. The partnership will deliver fast turnaround times to UK customers, including 24 hours on many of the firm’s standard items.

“We are delighted to make this announcement today,” said Dermot Desmond, LIBERTY’s Commercial and Business Development Manager. “With a renowned reputation for service and customer satisfaction and operating in mission critical sectors such as aerospace and defense, Righton Blackburn’s Powder Metals was a natural choice when looking for a distribution partner to serve customers across the UK and Ireland.

“库存的可用性是在快速移动的制造领域运营的添加剂制造,PM-ip和接近净形生产的客户的关键要求。”

最后,3D打印混凝土专家皮克斯3D已经从领先的建筑参与者那里获得了大量投资Baker ConcreteandLithko承包to improve concrete 3D printing within the construction sector. Over the past three years, Pikus 3D has been working withSika AGto produce a 3D printable concrete micro ink, Sikacrete-7000, that reportedly delivers setting times of between five and 15 minutes.

The opportunity to partner with Baker Concrete and Lithko Contracting will now enable Pikus 3D to continue to transform concrete construction through improvements to speed of design, creativity, and alleviating skilled labor constraints.

后处理技术的树脂去除洗涤剂的收益ISO合规性

Automated post-processing systems developerPostProcess Technologies宣布其树脂去除洗涤剂PLM-403-SUB已通过Toxikon Corporationto comply with ISO standard 10993 for biocompatibility. As a result, users seeking to maintain fully biocompatible processes can now incorporate the resin removal detergent into their workflow, benefiting those in the dental and medical fields in particular.

The qualified detergent plays a key role in the company’s patentedSubmersed Vortex Cavitation(SVC)确保3D打印零件的技术是均匀,一致且可靠地暴露于洗涤剂后的技术。

“我们始终将解决方案的无缝集成和可靠性作为优先事项,”后处理技术的首席化学家马修·诺布尔(Matthew Noble)说。“凭借这种生物相容性的合规性,增材用户可以享受自动化树脂去除作为新行业标准的效率,并确保其工作流和最终产品将以比当前市场替代方案更可持续的方式符合必要的生物相容性标准。”

CRP技术,进化添加剂解决方案,3D Metalforge和3Deo的业务更新

3D printing materials and services providerCRP技术是庆祝25年的专业3 d printing operations in Italy. In 1996, founder Roberto Cevolini was the first in Italy to invest in a sinter station for selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing, and has sought to create a family of 3D printing materials, Windform, suitable for fabricating high-performance parts for its Formula 1 customers.

The company hassince expanded its material portfolio为空间,娱乐,机器人技术,医疗和汽车部门等生产零件。现在,Windform家族包括12种材料,这些材料已被部署,以进步用于在空间中使用的添加剂测试,用于医疗部门的补丁测试,时尚以及非导导性的设计和测试。

Elsewhere, formerStratasyssubsidiary进化添加剂解决方案has announced the first shipment of its Scalable Volume Production (SVP) platform system to an unnamed global customer. The SVP system, which is equipped with Evolve’s proprietarySelective Thermoplastic Electrophotographic Process(步骤)技术将被客户用于大规模生产,其中包括使用多色功能,广泛的材料范围和Evolve的专有软件。

“我们的装运第一个系统全球客户is a significant accomplishment for our organization,” said Steve Chillscyzn, CEO and Founder of Evolve. “With the proprietary and proven technology that STEP brings we are confident in our ability to continue to provide solutions to additional clients worldwide.”

3D打印服务局3D Metalforge与此同时,其第二季度的2021年财务收入增加了23%。该公司在此期间收入266,000美元,从PSA公司为了开发世界上第一个用于新加坡港口港口应用的现场添加剂制造设施。该项目将使3D Metalforge能够在按需生产高需求工业3D印刷金属零件,以便于传统制造方法更便宜,更快。

该公司还宣布,在此期间,在德克萨斯州休斯敦拥有20,000平方英尺的设施,扩大了其在美国市场的占地面积,同时还获得了合格的制造合作伙伴的批准,以出售其泵叶轮以泵送,阀门和密封制造商流动. 3D Metalforge also appointed a new Business Development Director to lead the firm’s growth within the Australian and New Zealand marketplace.

“When looking at our consistent revenue generation and blue-chip customers, we are one of a few AM companies that has generated consecutive year-on-year revenue growth over the last four years,” said Matthew Waterhouse, 3D Metalforge Managing Director. “The June quarter continues this trend and it was a period of intense activity for 3D Metalforge. The progress the team has made is remarkable, with our technology commissioned to be used at the world’s first on-site additive manufacturing facility for port applications, developed in conjunction with PSA Corporation, allowing the provision of AM services closer to the customer’s point of use.”

The last of this week’s business updates comes from metal 3D printing technology company3DEO,宣布打印其百万部分。问题的一部分是安全剃须刀产品,该公司在2020年将其专利的3D打印技术商业化不到两年后达到了里程碑。为了将其金属3D打印机扩展到大规模生产中,3DEO开发了其制造云平台,即它集成了专有软件,3D打印,机器人技术,材料和流程。

The company currently works with “many Fortune 500 brands” in the medical device, aerospace, defense, automotive, and consumer packaged goods industries, with an annual order quantity of more than 20,000 parts per year.

“3DEO has been on an exponential growth curve for the last six quarters and we are already booking orders into 2023,” said Matt Petros, CEO of 3DEO. “With over 50 customers in recurring mass production, our business model creates a strong foundation for future growth. We already have the bookings to more than triple revenue this year and we are expecting to triple again next year. All of this is possible because of 3DEO’s Manufacturing Cloud.”
