Production Metal 3D Printing – Webinars on Demand
Production Metal 3D Printing- Part 3 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 3 we'll dive deep into production Metal 3D printing, from hundreds of parts all the way to tens of thousands of parts. We'll show use cases of companies using production to gain a major edge on the competition, and how it can open up entire new applications for your business. Dave Macfie, Cimquest's Director of 3D Printer Sales will be presenting along with special guest, Nate Higgins, Co-Founder of FreeFORM Technologies. https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/9w5qtbtcsx?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
Introducing the UE PRO Laser Scanner
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 5-laser mode was introduced for fine detail scanning. Scanning in fine detail (10 micron resolution) allows enables the user to capture incredible detail. The UE Pro also offers optional, built-in photogrammetry, greatly reducing the volumetric error expected when scanning very large objects. Additionally, Shining’s implementation of photogrammetry doesn’t require the capture of still photos or even the use of photogrammetric targets. Two scale bars are provided with the scanner and the user simply needs to include the bars in their collection of targets.

AMT PostPro Chemical Vapor Smoothing is a Game Changer for Custom 3D Printed Prosthetics
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 to use, due to the shape of the stump. The 3D printed DuoSocket prosthetic post-processed using AMT’s PostPro technology. Photo via AMT. The firm made use of AMT’s PostPro chemical vapor smoothing system to improve the surface finish of the device in order to make it more comfortable to wear, while also increasing the stability and durability of the prosthetic to enable the patient to continue his normal physical activities, such as cycling and football. After reamputation, the patient’s stump was a particularly challenging shape to fit the prosthetic. Photo via AMT. PostPro chemical vapor smoothing Since its founding in 2017, AMT has processed over six million 3D printed parts and delivered its post-processing systems to more than 25 countries across the globe.

Prototyping with Metal – Webinars on Demand
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, we'll discuss some key benefits and use cases of prototyping with metal 3d printed parts. We'll cover two hot technologies on the market, the Desktop Studio System (bound metal deposition), and Xact Metal systems (affordable metal powder-bed fusion). Jimmy Barrera from Cimquest and Zachery Padasak of Alpha Precision will be presenting. https://cimquesttv.wistia.com/medias/zee1y8l1aw?embedType=async&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=640
XYZprinting SLS Machines Compatible with High Performance PP and TPU
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 popular 3D printing process thanks to its ability to manufacture quality parts in series while optimizing costs and lead times. This is surely one of the reasons why XYZprinting has entered this niche, after already making a name for itself in the FDM 3D printer market. Since 2019, the manufacturer has indeed taken an industrial turn in the 3D printing market by developing SLS solutions which are more suitable for mass production. This time, it’s going one step further by offering qualified materials, developed by German manufacturer AM Polymers. The powders are compatible with the SLS machines from XYZprinting (photo credits: XYZprinting) An FDA Approved Polypropylene AM Polymers’ PP01 polypropylene powder is now compatible with XYZprinting’s SLS machines. It is a material that offers a high [...]
