Additive manufacturing, or 3-dimensional (3D) printing, continues to rapidly develop across a number of industries.
Cutting tool consumption in January 2020 rose 5 percent compared with December 2019, according to the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute and AMT - The Association for Manufacturing Technology.
Driven by market changes and feedback from customers, we shifted our focus away from the consumer market toward education and professional segments. We recognized that professionals needed more to meet the advanced needs of rapid prototyping for manufacturing.
The value of machine tool orders plunged in November as makers pared prices to cut inventory, according to a monthly report.
Stainless steel is far from an unknown quantity in machine shops. Yet, particularly in automotive and aerospace applications, tools and cutting methods continually evolve to optimize output—particularly as parts get more complex.
The key in other tooling applications is to find a space where our materials provide extra value beyond other printers.
Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) said today it is rescheduling and relocating its annual in-person AMUG Conference because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Need a little good news? America’s seemingly insatiable need for electricity is producing strong demand for the components that go into power generation equipment.
The industry standard for 3D printing metal surfaces [without supports] is 45o, as measured from the horizontal plane. That’s what most printers are capable of achieving without supports.
3D Systems said it has achieved progress in the creation of the world’s largest, fastest most precise powder metal 3D printer.
