Industrial 3D printer OEM Desktop Metal has launched its subsidiary Forust, a brand focused on 3D printing functional end-use wood parts via binder jetting.

Desktop Metal is introducing Live Sinter, a software solution designed to eliminate the trial and error required to achieve high-accuracy parts via powder metallurgy-based additive manufacturing processes like binder jetting.

Live Sinter not only corrects for the shrinkage and distortion parts typically experience during sintering, but also opens the door to printing geometries that, without the software, would present significant challenges to sinter. By improving the shape and dimensional tolerances of sintered parts, first-time part success for complex geometries is improved and the cost and time associated with post-processing are minimized. In many cases, the software even enables parts to be sintered without the use of supports.

Striving to industrialize 3D printing, printer manufacturers are adopting new technologies to stay ahead of the curve and satisfy the Customers' needs.

Determined to deliver flexibility and scalability to its customers, Rize Inc., a well-recognized manufacturer of the world’s first hybrid 3D printers, has selected AMC Bridge to implement a concept of a cloud platform, which allows monitoring and managing 3D printers from any location.

RIZE, Inc., a next-generation additive manufacturing company bringing industrial 3D printing to all users and a World Economic Forum (WEF) 2020 Technology Pioneer, announced the immediate availability of RIZIUM Glass Fiber (GF), a composite 3D printing material with the high-dimensional stability and high stiffness for the strength required for printing large parts.

The technology boosts renewable energy production while lowering the levelized cost of energy. GE, COBOD and LafargeHolcim plan to use 3D printing to manufacture concrete bases that could add as much as 80 meters to the height of wind turbines.

Desktop Metal, the company committed to making 3D printing accessible to engineers and manufacturers, announces the launch of Fiber™, 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 placement (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.
