INTERVIEW: Will Perseus Materials’ Bet on Self-propagating Chemistry be “world’s fastest” Composite Manufacturing Technology?
A Stanford-spinout startup is developing a continuous composite manufacturing process it says can produce structural parts larger than the machine making them, using a self-propagating chemical reaction to eliminate the need for ovens, autoclaves or conventional molds. The chemistry originated…
INTERVIEW: EOS CEO Marie Langer on Next Frontier for Industrial 3D Printing
Machines are growing. That much is clear from EOS, the German additive manufacturing company that has spent more than three decades pushing metal powder-bed fusion into industrial use. Those preceding decades were defined by technological possibility; the current phase is…
[INTERVIEW] “No reason not to use it”: DMG MORI Makes the Case for Additive’s Endgame
On a shopfloor, the difference between a promising build and a costly failure can come down to heat that drifts a few degrees over a long cycle. For DMG MORI, that reality is pushing metal additive manufacturing away from spectacle…
[INTERVIEW] Carbon: Why Cost Curves, Not 3D Printers, Decide the Future of Polymer AM
After more than a decade in the market, Carbon is experienced enough to know where to focus. The shift is away from expansion and spectacle, and towards making polymer additive manufacturing behave like an industrial system. Philip DeSimone, Carbon’s co-founder…
Cost-per-part challenge: Raise3D lines up RMS220 against industrial SLS and MJF
Raise3D is expanding its dependable FDM portfolio to include SLS 3D printing as a manufacturer with industrial ambitions. Under Chief Operations Officer Fernando Hernandez, the company has channelled a large share of its workforce into engineering, while watching low-cost rivals…
INTERVIEW: Gian Paolo Bassi: AI gains in engineering come from friction removal, not automation theatre
Dassault Systèmes has spent years selling a platform story. Gian Paolo Bassi, one of its most recognisable product voices, now talks about it less as a roadmap and more as a habit formed under pressure. I visited the company mid-way…
Nikon’s Additive Strategy: Big machines, Cautious promises, and a Long Industrial Horizon
Nikon’s move into additive manufacturing was not a sudden departure from cameras into fashionably futuristic territory, according to Hamid Zarringhalam, chief executive of Nikon Advanced Manufacturing. It reflects the company’s long industrial lineage, stretching from optics and glass through semiconductor…
INTERVIEW: Lithoz CEO Eyes Industrial Expansion as Ceramic 3D Printing Reaches Production Scale
Founded in 2011 out of Vienna University of Technology, Lithoz has grown into one of the key players in ceramic additive manufacturing. The company’s co-founder and CEO, Johannes Homa, says its vision remains consistent: to make additive manufacturing a genuine…
INTERVIEW: Anycubic CTO on Consumer 3D Printings Next Inflection Point
Anycubic’s CTO, James Ouyang, took some time during the recent Formnext to provide a detailed look at how consumer 3D printing is diverging across global markets, with China becoming both the fastest-growing and the most demanding environment. Our last meeting…
