Manufacturing Oerlikon has started up the first ATLIX xBUILD 5000 at Huntersville, an LPBF printer with four 1 kW lasers and automatic build module changing, designed to reduce downtime between one production cycle and the next.
Manufacturing Stratasys presented the F870 at IMTS 2026, a large-format FDM platform for industrial production, with a build volume of 1000 x 610 x 610 mm and a heated chamber. The system is already in use at Rivian and Toyota.
Manufacturing Addiblast MARS05 XL is an automatic depowdering system for large-format metal AM, capable of handling builds up to 7,000 kg and 1,375 × 1,375 × 1,700 mm. Enclosed chamber with ATEX design, two-axis movement, and programmable vibration.
Manufacturing Dou Yee Technologies integrates the HP Metal Jet platform into its production cycle with a Metal Binder Jetting program launched in October 2025 with HP and NAMIC. The first qualified materials are 316L and 17-4PH steels.
Manufacturing Subaru uses color 3D printing to reduce errors in production
Subaru of Indiana Automotive has introduced a color-coding system for 3D-printed tools, turning color into an error prevention tool. The solution uses Onyx GF material from Mar
Manufacturing Bosch and Nikon SLM Solutions 3D print a complete V8 engine block
The Bosch Additive Solution Center in Nuremberg has produced a complete V8 engine block in a single piece using a Nikon SLM Solutions NXG XII 600 machine. The component, printed in AlSi10Mg alloy, represents according to
Manufacturing 3D Printing for Automotive Crash Tests: Composite Material Solutions for Data Acquisition
Automotive crash tests require equipment capable of withstanding extreme impact forces. The Japanese agency Photron has found in additive manufacturing an effective answer to protect
Manufacturing KraussMaffei: LFAM 3D printing as a product and internal advantage
Large-format additive manufacturing is not only a new business line for the German manufacturer of plastics processing machinery, but also a strategic resource to optimize production processes
Manufacturing The Creaform HandySCAN 700-Elite converts physical objects into CAD in 4 phases: high-density laser scanning, critical surface management, point cloud processing, and parametric output. Precision and speed for professional reverse engineering.
Manufacturing La stampa 3D industriale non compete con l’iniezione plastica in volumi elevati: il divario è di 60 volte (32 contro 1.920 pezzi/ora). La manifattura additiva resta vantaggiosa solo a basso volume, alta variabilità e geometrie complesse, dove flessibilità e time-to-market superano il throughput.
Manufacturing Stampa 3D integrata: due brevetti permettono di stampare circuiti conduttivi e schermature EMI direttamente nei componenti, eliminando assemblaggi e riducendo costi. Ideale per elettronica di potenza e automotive, anche se durata e uniformità dei materiali richiedono ancora validazione.
Manufacturing La stampa 3D e il design parametrico rendono la customizzazione di massa una realtà industriale: prodotti unici su larga scala a costi competitivi, grazie a workflow integrati che garantiscono efficienza e maggiore fedeltà del cliente.
