Blending engineering technologies leads to innovative design and manufacturing process: Altair, Click2Cast, HBM nCode, and voxeljet combine design optimization, casting simulation, fatigue analysis, and 3D printing to create better-performing, lightweight vehicle component Altair, Click2Cast, HBM nCode, and voxeljet today announced that the companies have collaborated on a new design and manufacturing…

Aeromet is one of the most innovative foundries in England. The company specializes in the manufacture of components for the aviation and aerospace industry. The Brits have perfected the investment casting of aluminum special alloys that are typical in the aviation industry. The company's decision to invest in the compact VX500 3D printer from voxeljet is based on a number of reasons, explains a company…

Voxeljet commenced operations and began printing parts for customers at its North American Services facility located in Canton, Michigan (near Detroit). The approximately 50,000 square foot facility will initially operate four large-format printers to support both the sand casting and investment casting markets. The Company expects to install additional sand and plastic printers, including the VX4000 during…

While the Stegosaurus happily competes with both the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Diplodocus as being every other child’s favourite dinosaur, it may come as a surprise to learn that as well as being relatively rare in its own time, it has always remained something of an enigma, our lack of knowledge - about its weight, the purpose of those enormous plates, or even how it managed to eat - complicated by a…

voxeljet AG announced that it has completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Propshop (Model Makers) Limited. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Propshop will become voxeljet UK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and will continue to support the film and entertainment industry, as well as the broad, growing consumer market for on-demand 3D printing services. Propshop’s…

According to the report titled "3D Printing Market (Technologies, Materials, Applications and Geography) - Global Opportunity Analysis and Forecast-2013-2020", the global 3D printing market will reach $8.6 billion by 2020, registering a CAGR of 20.6% from 2014 to 2020. According to the report titled "3D Printing Market (Technologies, Materials, Applications and Geography) - Global Opportunity Analysis and…

Until now, the low volume production of complex parts using investment casting has been associated with long lead-times and potentially high cost. The Schmolz + Bickenbach Guss Gruppe shows that there is another way: It favours voxeljet's 3D print technology for the production of investment patterns, and is setting the benchmark with regard to cost efficiency, accuracy, complexity and production time.…

(Nanowerk News) ESO has recently utilised the innovative technology of 3D printing [1] to manufacture moulds for the casting of two new telescope components. These are required for the MUSE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile and are part of the Adaptive Optics Facility project. The 3D printing technique offers great promise in the manufacture of complex custom items, which are often…

It was an unusual request for the voxeljet service center: Printing 100 sand moulds at sizes of up to 1.5 cubic metres. This large order is related to the reconstruction of the historic Liebknecht portal - a very unusual project, as two versions of the portal will now be located in Berlin in the future: the original in the former Privy Council building of the former German Democratic Republic, and a 1:1…
