CES 2017上的3D打印预览

While Christmas is almost upon us meaning turkey, presents and family time, it also means we are closer to CES which happens at the very beginning of the new year. In order to build up the excitement, here is a preview to 3D printing at CES and a round-up of some of the companies from the 3D printing industry that will be at the event in Las Vegas between 5th-8th January.

DWS

意大利公司DWS将在CES出席,并揭幕了他们的formnext上令人印象深刻的印刷品and their大规模amatrice模型earlier this year, which preserved the Italian Town after it was tragically struck by an earthquake. Expect high resolution professional 3D printers at their purpose built enclosed booth with 30 designers showcasing more impressive prints.

Essentium材料

Essentium材料are a company focusing on improving materials through their use of natural resources in poorer countries and we expect Essentium to be previewing their first 3D printer at CES. The Essentium EM1 is the name they’ve given it and has ‘申请专利的微波技术‘ which is ‘转换添加剂制造‘根据他们的网站。

纳米尺寸

以色列公司Nano Dimension将于1月在CES展示其电路板印刷功能和将在以色列理工学院PavilionLink的Booth 51032中演示Draginfly 2020™3D打印机。今年,Nano Dimensions将展示更多的3D打印电路零件,包括天线和更多复杂的设备。

比尔·麦金尼斯(Bill McInnis) - 锐步

The man behind Reebok’s 3D printing shoe manufacturing, the Liquid Factory, Bill McInnis will be speaking at CES and most likely about the future of 3D printing in shoe manufacturing with his talk titled ‘Next-generation Footwear Manufacturing’. This year we saw big shoe brands such as Adidas, Nike and of course Reebok embrace 3D printing in their shoe manufacturing and moving into the new year this trend will likely increase withAdidas only recently selling a 3D printed runner. We covered 3D printing’s involvement with shoe manufacturing back in November with an更新在行业中使用3D打印.

Other notable mentions – ZMorph and Conference talks

Other companies to be showcasing their 3D printing technology include Polish company ZMorph whom 3DPI recentlyinterviewed CEO and founder Przemek Jaworski. Brian McLean of Laika Studios will be talking at the conference, presumably about the use of 3D printing in the film industry following the success of their3D打印的定格电影Kubo和两个弦。Local Motors will be represented by Alex Fiechter who will give a talk ‘From Economy of Scale to Economy of Scope: How 3D printing will bring vehicle customization to the masses’ following announcements this year of their3D printed car and drone combo.

Finally, Greg Morris of General Electric’s 3D printing division GE Additive will discuss additive manufacturing ‘Disruptive Manufacturing using Additive Technologies’ following General Electric’s whirlwind 2016.
