3iD automates the sorting of 3D printed components with AM-Flow technology

The Belgian additive manufacturing service 3iD has introduced an automated line developed by the Dutch company AM-Flow to manage the identification and sorting of components after printing. The investment aims

L’automazione della depolverizzazione e finitura superficiale sta trasformando la stampa 3D da tecnologia di prototipazione a soluzione industriale scalabile. Sistemi come AMT PostPro DP Max, PostPro SF e software SPR-Pathfinder PRO riducono tempi e costi fino al 60%, garantendo qualità costante e ripetibilità.

Economia circolare nell’additive manufacturing: materiali bio-based come il PA11 da ricino sostenibile, riciclo industriale con Virtucycle e partnership come Plastic Bank. Sostenibilità concreta, prestazioni garantite e vantaggi competitivi per le aziende.

Comparison between Craftcloud, Xometry and HP MJF Service for on-demand additive manufacturing. No absolute winner: the choice depends on volumes, delivery times, total costs and certifications. For small batches, outsourcing is more economical, while in-house production is only worthwhile above specific volume thresholds.

To customize wearable devices in series, four pillars are needed: modular architecture, AI and biometric scans for ergonomic variants, hybrid production processes, and end-to-end digital integration. Missing one and the system collapses.

New automated systems like DyeMansion's Powershot and AMT's PostPro solutions make MJF/SLS post-processing accessible to small labs, reducing costs and processing times.

Recycling high-performance polymers, such as PA12, offers significant economic and environmental benefits. Transforming waste powder into recycled filament reduces costs by up to 30% and increases independence from the supply chain. Maintaining high mechanical performance, the recycled material can be used in non-critical structural applications. A controlled process ensures

Comparison between 3D printing technologies for polymers: FDM, SLA, SLS, and MJF. Each technology offers specific advantages in terms of precision, mechanical strength, surface finish, and industrial applications. The evolution of materials is expanding operational boundaries in advanced sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and medical.

3D printing in hospitals is becoming an essential resource for personalized medicine, with applications ranging from anatomical models to custom implants. Integration requires adequate technologies, biocompatible materials, standardized workflows, and trained staff. Benefits include shorter waiting times, greater clinical precision, and cost reduction. Leading hospitals

Chemical vapor is revolutionizing the post-processing of 3D parts, offering smooth, waterproof, and repeatable finishes without material removal. Automated technologies like AMT PostPro eliminate production bottlenecks, reduce costs, and improve mechanical properties, making additive production scalable and certifiable for demanding industries.

HP MJF Technology revolutionizes industrial production, enabling flexibility, lead time reduction, and digital warehousing. Ideal for sectors such as aerospace, defense, medical, and data centers, it allows for on-demand production of custom components, improving supply chain resilience and reducing costs. Integration with traditional processes and the use of advanced materials make

The direct production of functional parts without post-processing represents an evolution of additive manufacturing, aimed at eliminating post-printing processing stages. Thanks to advanced technologies and specialized materials, it is possible to obtain immediately usable components, reducing costs, times, and variability. Sectors such as aerospace and automotive are adopting these s
