New industrial online painting service

Weerg's passion for 3D printing turns red. The Pantone colour RAL 3000 is the first colour available for the exclusive industrial painting service recently launched by the Italian e-business known for its CNC machining and online 3D printing. The new colour finish can be applied specifically to all Weerg 3D printed parts, using both HP Multi Jet Fusion 5210 technology and 3D Systems' ProX® SLS 6100 Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology.

The Austrian company Evo-Tech from Schörfling am Attersee will be holding its spring in-house exhibition from 26 to 27 February. Live demonstrations of 3D printing, its possibilities, previous achievements and new materials can be seen here.

KRAIBURG TPE has performed extensive tests to examine the suitability of its thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for use in additive manufacturing (AM). The tests have shown that almost all of the company’s TPEs can be processed with excellent results using fused deposition modeling (FDM) on devices from Pollen AM.

•Aurora has independently tested samples of Stainless Steel 316L produced using the company’s patented Multi-Layer Concurrent Printing (“MCP™”) technology.
•The results show samples tested exceed ASTM Standards in Tensile Strength and Yield Strength•The tests are an important step in demonstrating that Aurora’s MCP™ technology is a viable method of metal 3D printing
•Unlike traditional laser bed fusion printers, MCP technology prints multiple layers in a single pass thus increasing production speed

• Arburg Plastic Freeforming: for processing original materials, even in clean rooms

• Focus on medical technology: Freeformer 200-3X produces resorbable bone plates
• Freeformer 300-3X: resilient hard/soft combinations

Resource efficiency and sustainability are two key themes at the upcoming edition of HANNOVER MESSE, with additive manufacturing playing a major role. The close connection between additive manufacturing and lightweight construction will be reflected at HANNOVER MESSE, with both topics co-located in Hall 23. The 6th Additive Manufacturing Symposium is also being held at HANNOVER MESSE.

• “arburgGREENworld”: Lightweight construction as a practical example of saving resources

• “arburgXworld”: Digitalisation for increased production efficiency
• Innovative: Fibre reinforcement using fibre direct compounding and Arburg Plastic Freeforming

BigRep America is opening a new headquarters featuring the new BigRep 3D PARTLAB for flexible 3D printing services with fleet of large-format 3D printers.
