Vision Miner 22 IDEX V4 a 14.900$: la stampante desktop che stampa PEEK, ULTEM e altri polimeri ad alte temperature per applicazioni industriali. Telaio in acciaio, camera riscaldata attiva e dual-extrusion indipendente per affidabilità produttiva senza i costi delle macchine da sei cifre.

La manifattura additiva è strategica solo se integrata in una rete industriale intelligente. IIoT, AI e sicurezza trasformano la stampa 3D da processo isolato a nodo produttivo connesso, abilitando flessibilità, velocità e resilienza operativa.

I cluster industriali cinesi rivoluzionano la produzione grazie alla condivisione aperta di informazioni tecniche. Specializzazione rapida, tempi brevi e scalabilità rendono il vantaggio competitivo legato alla velocità di esecuzione, non alla segretezza. Una lezione di flessibilità per l’Occidente.

Stratasys acquires Markforged for $42.5 million from Nano Dimension, strengthening industrial 3D printing for composites and software solutions. Metal Binder Jetting technology is excluded and retained by Nano Dimension. Closing is expected in the second half of 2026.

PowTReX automates the recovery of metal powder in additive manufacturing with closed cycles, ultrasonic screening, and safe transport. It guarantees quality, operator protection, and compatibility with major 3D printers.

3D printing is revolutionizing heat exchangers with previously impossible geometries. Two patents show removable intelligent supports and interwoven 3D structures to manage more fluids. Benefits: greater efficiency, reduced costs, smaller footprints. Expected adoption in 2-5 years in aerospace and automotive.

Breathable steel is a microporous material that allows gases to escape during injection molding, eliminating defects and voids without compromising mechanical strength. It is produced via metal 3D printing with foaming agents.

AI in industrial automation requires rethinking the entire production flow. Real value emerges when artificial intelligence operates along the entire chain, overcoming the limited approach to single machines and local optimizations in additive manufacturing.

Double the strength of 3D prints without extra weight: use gyroid infill, optimized pathing with Arachne, and localized reinforcements in the G-Code. Advanced slicing techniques for stronger and lighter parts, without complex CAD modifications.

Industrial metrology requires flexibility. Discover how universal software platforms overcome rigidity and inefficiencies, integrating every measuring device to maximize precision and productivity. A practical guide to choosing the ideal solution.

Containerized production combines additive and subtractive technologies in ruggedized containers for remote and defensive contexts. Cases like Farsoon-Addimax and Snowbird-Meltio demonstrate flexibility, autonomy, and reduced dependence on the supply chain, with local support and standard materials.

Binder jetting is entering industrial production, but scalability depends on nozzle control, material management (including ceramic slurries) and integration into workflows. To be a solid production asset, a rigorous roadmap is needed that includes electronics, software and maintenance.
