Introducing Factory Solutions: How to Build Additive Factories for High-Value Manufacturing Projects We just added free webinar hosted by Formlabs to our line-up of on-demand webinars. The global conversation about additive manufacturing in production is full of misconceptions and confusing hype. Formlabs recently launched Formlabs Factory Solutions to help you cut through the hype and build high-value additive manufacturing projects at scale. The agile digital factory, built around 3D printing, provides unprecedented opportunities for decreasing [...]

Nexa3D delivers highly effective eco-friendly cleaning solvent xCLEAN for all resin-based 3D Printers Nexa3D, the maker of ultra-fast stereolithography production 3D printers, recently announced the immediate commercial availability of xCLEAN, an effective and environmentally friendly washing solvent that is designed to work consistently with most photopolymer 3D printers and resin systems available on the market. xCLEAN has three times the saturation limit of IPA, meaning less waste and fewer changeovers for additive manufacturers. xCLEAN is [...]
Let’s take a look at the new Desktop Metal Fiber 3D printing system. The Fiber system brings continuous fiber 3D printing to the desktop of engineers and designers. Composites are commonly used in performance automotive, aerospace, and many other industries (consumer goods, and machine design). Composites are great for parts that require the strength and stiffness of metal but at a fraction of the weight. Traditional Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) processes are only suitable for [...]
reprint from https://3dprintingindustry.com/ California-based SLA 3D printer manufacturer Nexa3D and global chemical company Henkel have launched a new polymer for 3D printing called xMED412. The polypropylene (PP)-like material combines enhanced strength properties with the biocompatibility of medical-grade materials, potentially making it well-suited to producing medical devices. What’s more, the high-impact, durable plastic has also been tested and cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use within clinical environments. As a result, the [...]

It is great for companies looking to produce either prototypes, tooling, or small batch production parts with optimal mechanical properties.
This post will explore 3D printing for mold making using Formlabs 3D printers. Mold making with desktop 3D printing allows engineers to expand their prototyping toolkit. It opens up a world of production materials, offering the ability to make short-run batches and to test designs before larger-scale production. Three types of molding strategies can be applied with Formlabs. These include injection molding, thermoforming, and casting elastomers. The Form 3 can print inexpensive injection molds to [...]
