Additive Manufacturing Media: 3D Printing and Coronavirus Check-In April 7, 2020April 9, 2020 | The Essentium Team Share In this conversation, Additive Manufacturing Media discusses 3D printing’s pivot to production; additive manufacturing as a bridge production measure for ventilator parts; personal protective equipment (PPE) for use by first responders and others outside hospitals; 3D printed testing swabs and more. A shift appears to be emerging in how 3D printing is being applied to fight coronavirus. We seem to be moving past independent, isolated efforts and toward greater organization and guidance, higher volume 3D printing, and in some cases a shift to more conventional production techniques for PPE, ventilators and more.

The Essentium Team November 23, 2020 Additive Manufacturing: 3 Design Techniques for High Speed Extrusion 3D Printing “High Speed Extrusion” (HSE) is Essentium’s rapid deposition process for 3D printing polymer parts at production speeds. It is fused filament fabrication (FFF), but the speed means even the design considerations appropriate to FFF may not be sufficient for this process. Tom Mulholland describes the design considerations for HSE. Read More
The Essentium Team November 22, 2020 Manufacturing Tomorrow: 3D Printing Will Soon Be a Game-Changer in the Manufacturing Industry – Here’s Why Until now, manufacturers have been dipping their toes and getting familiar with AM technology, using it to create prototypes rather than final products. But that is changing. It’s only a matter of time before AM makes the leap from prototyping to manufacturing on the factory floor. And this leap will happen a lot sooner than most people think.
