The advantages that additive manufacturing offers designers are widely known. Complex geometries can be realized more easily, costs can be saved, and functions can be integrated directly into designs. This integration of functions, however, can be taken further, beyond industrial projects. Architecture offers unusual examples of integrating functions. The Meristem Wall, a project at Lund […]
Covestro and voxeljet announce partnership
Materials company Covestro and industrial 3D printer manufacturer voxeljet (NASDAQ: VJET) are collaborating to develop a material-machine combination for economic large series additive manufacturing. With High Speed Sintering (HSS), voxeljet combines the advantages of two existing additive technologies: selective laser sintering and binder jetting, giving the benefit of both SLS part properties and binder-jetting productivity. […]
Fraunhofer IPA, University of Bayreuth and voxeljet AG launch HSS material network
To accelerate the qualification of new polymer materials for High Speed Sintering (HSS) technology – as used in voxeljet’s additive polymer manufacturing processes – Fraunhofer IPA, the University of Bayreuth and voxeljet AG have initiated the HSS Material Network. The network offers customers a flexible way to have new 3D printing polymers tested, qualified and […]
Brose and voxeljet AG sign beta program for new VX1000 HSS 3D printer for additive production of polymers
Voxeljet AG announced that one of the first participants in the High Speed Sintering (HSS) Early-Access Beta Program for the VX1000 HSS. Brose, a global automotive supplier, will work with it as a cooperation partner to further develop the VX1000 HSS for use in additive series production of polymer components for the automotive industry. With […]
Developing a binder jetting printer for offshore wind turbines
GE, Fraunhofer IGCV, and voxeljet AG announced a research partnership to develop “the world’s largest 3D printer for offshore wind applications” to streamline the production of key components of GE’s Haliade-X offshore wind turbine. The Advance Casting Cell (ACC) 3D printer under development will benefit from financial support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic […]
