Production 3D Printing with HP Multi Jet Fusion
The release of the HP Multi Jet Fusion platform makes production 3D printing a reality, and the new Jet Fusion 5200 is on the forefront of this paradigm shift. For the first time, 3D printing was now a viable option for larger-scale production. Let's take a look at how the process works. The 5200 series features a printer, build unit, and processing station similar to the 4200 model but brings superior part predictability and reliability. For part predictability, the 5200 can be qualified to meet the process capability for a CPK of 1.33 or IT13, allowing for consistent part tolerances. To increase reliability, this system has redundancies and more robust hardware and software to complete your builds. Some examples are multiple fusing lamps and redundant motors, as well as a higher resolution thermal camera. The 5200 has a new 1-pass printing mode which gives faster building speed, without compromising on mechanical and dimensional properties. Another innovative new feature is HP's 3D natural cooling unit. Once a job is finished job it can be transferred to the natural cooling unit and then stored to cool. This frees up the build unit to be used for the next job immediately, so you can keep printing [...]
Cimquest Continues to Support the Guy E. Bourdeau Scholarship
We are proud to continue our support for the Guy E. Bourdeau Scholarship. It provides the opportunity for highly motivated students to earn the opportunity to attend the Additive Manufacturing User Group (AMUG) conference. Guy E. Bourdeau Scholars are honest, respectful, inquisitive and collaborative. The scholarship honors the memory of Guy E. Bourdeau for his dedication and contribution to the additive manufacturing industry. He was a strong supporter and advocate of the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG). The scholarship was founded in Guy’s name by his wife, Renée Bourdeau, to honor his contributions to the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. This scholarship covers the cost of participating in the 2020 AMUG Conference to be held in Chicago, Illinois, from March 22-26; this includes: Conference registration fee Access to keynote presentations, technical sessions and workshops Invitation to the Technical Competition and Innovator’s Showcase Networking breakfasts, lunches, and dinners Entrance to the AMUGexpo, Off-Site Dinner and Event Countless networking opportunities Access to mobile app, online planner and conference proceedings Exclusive AMUG volunteering opportunities with the AMUG Executive Board Accommodation at the designated conference hotel for the entire time you are in Chicago Airline ticket (Economy Class) and transportation from the airport to the conference hotel This [...]

Desktop Metal New Fiber 3D Printer
Desktop Metal, the company committed to making 3D printing accessible to engineers and manufacturers, announces the world’s first desktop 3D printer to fabricate high-resolution parts with industrial-grade continuous fiber composite materials used in automated fiber placement (AFP) processes. Based on a new process called micro automated fiber replacement (μAFP), users can now print parts with a superior level of strength and stiffness, and in a broad range of materials, that traditionally required million-dollar AFP systems. This affordable new platform produces parts using materials that are two times stronger than steel at one-fifth the weight. Fiber 3D printers feature one of the largest build envelopes of any continuous fiber desktop printer. They can be purchased as individual units or arranged in print farm configurations of 6 or 10 printers. “For the first time, Fiber printers combine the material properties of high performance AFP continuous fiber materials with the affordability and speed of a desktop 3D printer.” - Ric Fulop, CEO and co-founder of Desktop Metal. Starting at $3,495 and combining continuous fiber tape with industry-proven composites, Fiber™ makes it possible for every engineer to create parts with unrivaled strength and lightness, all from their desktop.

Grow Your Capabilities with the Form 3
FDM/FFF and SLA printers both have similar, often complementary features. Many businesses use both machines alongside one another, which can mean the best of both worlds; low-cost rapid prototyping coupled with high quality, functional parts for a wider range of applications. If your business has an FDM/FFF machine, you're eligible to receive up to $400 off the Form 3 or Form 3L Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) 3D Printers. Just click the button below to verify ownership of your printer in order to earn either $400 off the Form 3 or Form 3L 3D printer or a free liter of Draft Resin. This is a limited time offer.
