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 [...]
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 [...]
