Desktop Metal released a great lineup of 3D printers last year and we will recap some of those exciting new machines in weekly blog posts this month. Many of these new printers will also be showcased in our upcoming 3D Printing Online Seminar Series which will happen over the next couple of months. Please stay tuned for more details on that and in the meantime let's take a look at one of the new releases [...]
reprint from 3D Printing Industry PGV cut lead times by up to 80% using Desktop Metal 3D Printing technology PGV Industries, a Karnes City, Texas-based industrial equipment manufacturer, has begun integrating additive manufacturing technology into its day-to-day operations for the first time. Since recently installing one of Desktop Metal’s Shop System metal binder jet 3D printers, the firm has managed to remedy a number of issues it faced with traditional manufacturing techniques. As well as [...]
As we enter into 2022 there is one thing we know for sure . . . Things all around us are changing extremely quickly. And if you and your machine shop are not changing at the same rate then your business can be in serious jeopardy. For our many customers who specialize in the production of metal parts and/or plastic parts; production 3D Printing (aka, Additive Manufacturing) is here and being adopted quickly. If you [...]
Happy 2022! As I think about 2022 I can only get excited about the state of the industry and where Cimquest is heading. Certainly, it has been a bit crazy over the past 2 years; however, it is now time to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off. One of the few things that seem to be staying the same is that the rate of change in the world is continuing to increase. Speaking of [...]

The Form 3+ and Build Platform 2 with patented Quick Release Technology are now available. The Form 3+ combines both hardware and software improvements to deliver what’s most important to 3D printing users: fabricate parts and [...]
Increase Production Yield and Streamline Processes for Electronics Manufacturing with Formlabs ESD Resin Formlabs has released their new ESD Resin, their first-ever material which safely dissipates unregulated electrostatic discharge. ESD Resin streamlines electronics manufacturing processes by increasing production yield, improving operational efficiency, and reducing production ramp-up time. ESD Resin was developed to hold up under a rigorous manufacturing environment. Create robust, functional, and dynamic enclosures for sensitive electronics that can handle significant wear and tear. [...]
In our last Metrology Minute post, we demonstrated how Control X can be used to extract feature size and location information directly from the scan, without the use of a nominal CAD model. With this route, a more traditional type of inspection could take place using just the scan of a manufactured part or assembly. We explained how a region’s model may be used to identify and measure analytic features, directly from a scan. And [...]
a reprint from https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/seven-things-not-to-do-with-your-brand-new-3d-printer You just received a brand new desktop 3D printer. What should you NOT do? It’s that time of year when huge sales of inexpensive desktop 3D printers arrive in people’s homes, often for the very first time. Yes, it’s an exciting moment: you now have the power to build virtually anything, or at least you might think so. The truth is a little bit less dramatic, but 3D printers are indeed [...]
