The specs and capabilities of the incredible new UE PRO laser handheld scanner are way-beyond what we anticipated. With an accuracy of +/- 20 microns (+/-.00078”) and a maximum resolution of 50 microns in standard mode and an incredible 10 microns in “fine mode,” this handheld scanner sets brand new benchmarks in our industry. Scanning speed is an incredible 1.8 million points/sec. This is accomplished by the 13 crossing lasers (26 lasers, total). A new [...]
A reprint from 3D Printing Industry Automated post-processing systems manufacturer Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) has deployed its PostPro chemical vapor smoothing technology to improve the surface finish, comfort, and durability of 3D printed prosthetics. Prosthetic device manufacturer Proteo turned to AMT for the post-processing of its 3D printed DuoSocket prosthetic, which had been customized for a patient who had undergone a limb reamputation and for whom the device was still not comfortable or durable enough [...]
Prototyping with Metal - Part 2 in the Acceleration of Metal 3D Printing Series This is a three part webinar series, culminating with a live event in New Jersey on April 28th. Metal Additive Manufacturing has become the hottest growth engine in the 3D printing Space. With its increased accessibility, variety of technologies, and breadth of material options, metal additive can give you an edge in highly competitive marketplaces. In Part 2 of this series, [...]
Multiaxis machining is defined by the motion of the cutting machine. A multiaxis machining center can move either its cutting tool or workpiece not only along the three basic linear axes (X, Y, and Z), it can also use the rotary axes (A, B, and/or C) around each of the linear axes. With Mastercam 5-axis machining, programmers can take advantage of the three linear axes and two of the rotary axes: A (rotation around the [...]
A reprint from 3Dnatives 3D printing solutions manufacturer XYZprinting has announced a partnership with AM Polymers to offer two new materials for its selective laser sintering (SLS) machines. The range now includes an FDA-approved, food-grade PP01 polypropylene powder and a PB01 TPU powder for the footwear industry. This partnership allows XYZprinting to expand the capabilities of its industrial SLS 3D printers and broaden the scope of possibilities for its users. SLS has become a very [...]
