3D Daily Show #1: New Additive Manufacturing Solutions for a Digital Industry
Formnext 2022 officially opened yesterday morning. The 3Dnatives crew was on the scene and allowed you to see all the details from the event. Each morning you can view our brief report and meet other exhibitors. This is the first episode of our 3D Daily Show #1. We took a closer look into the market solutions that allow users to move toward a more digital and accessible industry around the globe.
We met with Formlabs this time. They are expanding digital manufacturing access so anyone can make any kind of part. Formlabs is based in Somerville in Massachusetts and has offices in Germany and France. Formlabs is the world’s largest supplier of 3D printers for professionals based on stereolithography or selective laser sintering. This has been achieved through a commitment to innovation.
Markforged, an industrial 3D printer manufacturer, was also interviewed. The company is behind the “Digital Forge,” a platform of printers, materials and additive manufacturing software, with which Markforged hopes to achieve a technology-driven manufacturing transformation that includes commercial solutions. We spoke with Doug Kenik, Principal Product Manager – Strategy of Markforged, in particular to learn more about their new software releases and specifically the simulation features.
The 3D Daily Show also offers an opportunity for startups to meet with those involved in additive production. Rivelin Robotics was a startup that has created a robot-based post-processing system without human intervention. Formnext organizes the annual Start-Up Challenge.
Tomorrow we will be seeing you at the 3D Daily Show #2!
