Sintavia and HP
Global metal manufacturing company Sintavia has unveiled their plans for a 55,000 ft2 3D printing facility in Hollywood, Florida, thereby quadrupling their production capacity. Their new facility will house over $20 million worth of 3DP machinery, while simutaniously creating 135 new jobs. The expected inauguration will be in mid-2018.
HP has strengthened their position in the global 3D printing market, after establishing several 3D printing demonstration/training centers that are aimed at making additive manufacturing more widely accessible. These centers will be equipped with HP machines and will demonstrate “production scenarios”, which will facilitate a shift from Rapid Prototyping to Rapid Production. In addition, HP has partnered with Henkel Adhesive Technologies to help create more advanced powder based materials. You can find more information here.
