This blog post will take a look at a part that we recently printed on the Desktop Metal Shop System and then finished machined in our CNC manufacturing lab. The holder shown above is used to fixture multiple sensors for taking measurements in industrial equipment. It was printed in 17-4 PH stainless steel on the Shop System with a technology known as metal binder jetting. This process uses a binding agent to bond loose metal [...]
Let’s take a look at the new Formlabs Nylon 12 Glass Filled powder 3D printing material. As applications for 3D printing continue to evolve, engineers are requiring a wide palette of materials to meet their needs. And with new gaps in supply chains appearing every day, there’s an increasing demand for functional in-house production. Formlabs Nylon 12 Glass Filled on the Fuse 1 can help make in-house production a reality. Here are some of the [...]
Metal Additive Manufacturing has become the hottest growth segment of the 3D printing industry. With its increased accessibility, variety of technologies, and breadth of material options, metal additive manufacturing can give you an edge in highly competitive marketplaces. But it’s also a field of great mystery to many. Here is a chance to learn more about it. We just completed our 3-part educational webinar series called ‘Acceleration of Metal 3D Printing,’ This series introduced this [...]

Last month we began our 4-part Metal 3D Printing event series where we are exploring and presenting new technologies from Desktop Metal, Xact Metal, and more. This series will bring you up to speed on new 3D Printing advancements which are part of the fastest-growing segment of the manufacturing industry. If you missed the two webinars that have already taken place, we have you covered. You can watch the replays at any time on our [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
