Formnext 2018 - 3D打印行业首次查看

3D打印行业在纪录的比赛中度过了一个早晨。这是我们对Formnext 2018的一些第一印象。我们的团队将整周都在法兰克福,为您详细介绍第四版,这已成为拥挤的添加剂制造日历上的主要活动 - 现在是简短的首次审视。

Industrialization is evident as soon as you step into hall 3.0 on the ground floor of messe Frankfurt. The vast white booth of DMG Mori greets visitors with the Lasertec 65 hybrid system on the left and the world premiere of the Lasertec 12 SLM taking center stage.The 2020s may be the decade of additive manufacturing, according to the DMG Mori President, but this company is not waiting.

在进入大厅之前,请确保不要错过今年的演出中更新颖的AM技术。Speed3D随着冷喷雾AM系统返回。今年,澳大利亚公司将每天两次在上午11点和下午2点进行现场演示。

来自Blackbelt 3D的新型输送带FDM系统被藏在Booth A88的拐角处。此处还展示的是带有4个挤出机的Stacker FDM 3D打印机。一个更大的传送带3D打印系统,称为AMCELL,可以在A28的3厅找到。

SLM解决方案is launching new software and has the Divergent3D Blade 3D printed vehicle. A strategic partnership between the two companies aims to “transform automotive processes”.

Booths, build volumes and AM systems all seem to be getting bigger this year. The Siemens multi-level stand features applications including the Bugatti Chiron vehicle aerodynamics control system. While Additive Industries has the modular MetalFAB1, a metal 3D printing solution that almost spans the length of their booth.

Moving upstairs to Hall 3.1 XJETs booth is fittingly impressive for a company with such a pedigree of developing frontier technology. The booth somewhat resembles an asteroid, and the metal and ceramic materials used by the Carmel are equally impressive.

Oerlikon AM强调了其作为全球7个网站的全球整合AM服务提供商的地位。该公司提供来自Arcam,Carbon,Concept Laser,EOA,Renishaw,SLM Solutions,Trumpf和XJET的系统的组件生产。

EOS拥有激光系统的全球首映。该技术旨在启用工具无注射成型。我们很快就会仔细观察。本周晚些时候也是急切期待的钢铁侠重力喷气背包技术的展示

Bigrep今天将揭开两台新机器。在展位上,一种称为“ MXT”的技术被描述为“新的快速,精确的挤出技术”。很快就会有更多。

New options for 3D printing in color are on display from Taiwan’s XYZPrinting with a significantly larger machine joining the da vinci color.

同时,开拓颜色是波士顿的街头舞魂。Joining the Rize One is a new machine called the xRize – a color FDM 3D printing system.

The start-up area has 18 companies spanning the 3D printing ecosystem. From software by Authentise, material solutions from 3devo to the winners of this year’sFormNext启动挑战

在大厅4中,TCT TCT举办会议。户田拓夫y’s program began with Peter Mischke from BMW discussing the journey from Prototyping to Production. Later today at 14:30 Dayton Horvath of NewCap Partners will present an update on how Startups, M&A and Business Strategies are shaping the additive manufacturing landscape.
