Multimillion-dollar contract awarded by the VA supports the development, testing and manufacturing of seat cushions, mattresses, and patient positioning devices, such as splints, that will also enable the VA to “make products at a fraction of their final size, minimizing storage and warehouse needs”

Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM), a leader in mass production additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, today announced the company has received a $9 million order from a major German automaker for binder jet additive manufacturing systems used for mass production of powertrain components.

With high speed against corrosion and wear

The next generation of intelligent industrial production: this is what this year's Formnext is all about from 15 to 18 November 2022. In keeping with the top theme of the trade fair, the CHIRON Group's Additive Manufacturing competence area will be presenting its latest innovation: AM Coating. An industry-compatible system designed for 24/7 operation for applying extremely hard coatings to brake discs.

We've heard it many times before: Automation is part of the future of additive manufacturing. In the metal sector, too, manufacturers of AM hardware offer equipment and systems that are designed for automated production - in some cases there are even concepts for entire factory floors. So from a marketing point of view, many things are possible - but what does reality look like on the production floors? We have investigated this question and asked leading manufacturers and service providers.

voxeljet 3D printing technology for production cast parts for electric-mobility. As key suppliers of the car industry, many foundries are under threat due to the current growth in e-mobility.

The reason is, that the demand for castings for an electrically powered vehicle is significantly lower than for a conventional combustion engine.

Reduce kerb weight to increase range: With this goal, nine partners from research and industry are working on the ultra-light body structure of an electric van. As part of the consortium, voxeljet AG (NASDAQ:VJET) is supplying sand casting moulds and cores for large-format structural components of the body.
