Top 5 Videos of the Week: how to choose your 3D printing technology…

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is shaping our society. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive! Check out our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! This week we touch on how to choose your 3D printing technology and much more! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!

Top 1: How to get started with additive manufacturing

If you are into technology, you will have noticed that additive manufacturing has stolen the spotlight in recent years. Nevertheless, it is not the easiest technology to implement and incorporate into a project. There is no doubt that the new, quick and sometimes low-cost 3D printing techniques available on the market can offer great alternatives to traditional manufacturing methods like injection molding and CNC machining. You might be wondering which service should you turn to? How should you get your parts made? Who should you seek advice from? In this webinar we answer these questions by presenting Dassault Systèmes’ platform, 3DEXPERIENCE Make, developed to connect buyers to providers of 3D printing services all over the world. We are also joined by Jason Laing and Gavin Leggott, founders of the UK-based 3D printing service bureau, Promake, that tell us about their experience with the platform.

Top 2: Weerg uses HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology

The manufacturing service based in Venice, Weerg has invested in multiple HP MJF machines over time. Today, it counts 6 machines in its offices, which they say 3D print 7 days a week with not much maintenance needed. This allows the company to deliver parts to customers in 3 days, considerably reducing lead times compared to traditional manufacturing methods. HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology is similar to Binder Jetting, meaning it can make parts from multiple materials and with multiple colours, considerably expanding the possibilities of the technology!
