The new GrabCAD FDM Printer Emulator simulates certain Stratasys FDM printers on a computer so that user can test the application on a variety of printer models and printer connectivity API levels without needing to have each physical printer which this will speed up development, gaining confidence in an integration before taking it to the field and a customer.

Desktop Metal announced it has acquired Aerosint, a pioneer in multi-material deposition systems for powder-based additive manufacturing (AM) solutions.

Exploring the ways in which the software industry can contribute to the industrialization of additive manufacturing (AM), AMC Bridge, a trusted partner in digital transformation for engineering, manufacturing, and construction, held a live discussion with industry experts about the software challenges AM needs to overcome as it moves into industrial maturity.

Technology progress moves at a blazing speed, and there is no segment where these advances are more obvious than in the additive manufacturing arena. Different types of printing techniques, materials, and approaches have accelerated the industrial adoption of such technologies and revolutionized how goods are manufactured.

Falling prices and greater choice — proven forces that lay the groundwork for significant market growth — are now playing a hand in helping metal additive manufacturing systems gain traction.
