To be competitive in today’s dynamic manufacturing environment, small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) need to implement mechanisms to facilitate the effective processing of multiple streams of highly volatile and time-sensitive customer requirements.
Q&A with Eric Barnes, RAPID + TCT event advisor.
Desktop Metal Inc., the company founded in 2015 with no plan to produce a production-level printer, is now promoting 3D printing for high-volume serial production under its AM (additive manufacturing) 2.0 initiative.
Additive manufacturing is uniquely positioned to enable "rapid response manufacturing."
As automotive OEMs turn their attention toward EV development, the inherent capabilities of the AM process make it a natural fit to support EV production—and now is the time for the automotive industry to make that pivot.
The future vision for POC medical manufacturing includes printing patient-matched implants where no existing devices are available.
3D Systems today announced two additions to its industry-leading materials portfolio.
Three trends show a path to a more mature use of 3D printing: production in hospitals and clinics, technology developments and reimbursement.
Production scale of high-value materials such as tungsten and rhenium enables advanced application capabilities in aerospace, defense, and medical industries.
The U.S. Navy has issued Stratasys a $20 million contract to purchase up to 25 Stratasys F900 3D printers over the next five years, with delivery of the first eight expected before the end of 2021.
