AMUG 2021 Highlights: New Innovations in Additive Manufacturing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YGJJboBZBg

Welcome to AMUG 2021, where the world of additive manufacturing came alive after an extended hiatus due to the pandemic. It’s been a week filled with excitement and innovation, and we’ve got the inside scoop on some of the standout moments. While there’s more to come, let’s dive into the highlights from this year’s event.

Essentium’s HSE 280i HT System

Essentium introduced the world to their latest achievement, the HSE 280i HT system, which stands as the first true idec system. Collaborating with Mercury Systems and Rolls-Royce for aerospace and defense applications, Essentium is pushing the boundaries of 3D printing. They’re even testing new materials and processes for the Department of Defense, promising some exciting beta materials in the near future. Keep an eye out for that! One particular gem was their use of dual extrusion to create super rigid parts with a combination of materials, setting the stage for versatile applications.

Stratasys and DyeMansion Partnership

Stratasys and DyeMansion joined forces to bring us a reference architecture for production-scale additive manufacturing. This collaboration offers a step-by-step process that combines Stratasys printers and DyeMansion’s post-processing systems to create end-use parts. The aim is to provide this end-to-end solution globally, utilizing the strengths of both companies’ extensive networks. It’s a promising step towards streamlined production.

Titan Robotics’ Atlas HS System

Titan Robotics, our friends from the Rocky Mountains, unveiled their latest creation, the Atlas HS system. It’s a massive hybrid machine, incorporating both additive and subtractive manufacturing into one seamless system. This versatile beast of a machine offers the best of both worlds, giving you the customizability of additive processes along with the precision of subtractive manufacturing. It’s a game-changer, especially if you’re aiming for large-scale production and don’t have multi-million dollar metal printers lying around.

Carbon Inc’s Collaboration with Post-Process Technologies

Carbon Inc is making waves with its partnership with Post-Process Technologies. This collaboration aims to integrate Carbon’s platform with post-processing solutions, enhancing the overall 3D printing process. It’s another step forward in refining additive manufacturing workflows and making it more accessible worldwide.

ENDSCRIPT’s N Rugged Printer

Last but definitely not least, ENDSCRIPT introduced the N Rugged printer, and it turned heads at the event. As the name suggests, this is a precision 3D manufacturing and bioprinting platform designed for harsh environments. It’s capable of 3D printing and bioprinting in settings where traditional printers would struggle, such as on naval ships or in remote locations. What’s more, it comes with a built-in battery that offers up to 48 hours of continuous printing. This is a game-changer for on-the-go 3D printing.
