Fabbaloo: Essentium’s Survey Results March 23, 2019October 30, 2019 | The Essentium Team Share 3D printer manufacturer Essentium just released the results of their recent survey on production 3D printing usage. The company has been building a rather interesting 3D printer targeted at manufacturers who wish to produce larger quantities of parts by leveraging the new machine’s speedy capabilities. Their new machine incorporates a number of design features that should make it one of the fastest available. The ability to 3D print at speed could move towards a solution to one of the eternal dilemmas of using 3D printing for production purposes: it just takes way too long to complete a print. But is that really the case? Essentium sought to find out the answers by issuing a survey they called “Printing at Scale”. Now they’ve released the results of the survey for all to see. We examined their survey to find out more. The survey was responded to by 114 people who are in positions of authority for acquiring and dealing with 3D printers in their respective organizations. Right off the bat, I have to say that this does color the results somewhat, in that all of the responding organizations already have some level of involvement in 3D printing technology, and thus the survey is of less use if attempting to determine, say, if companies are considering a switch to the technology.

The Essentium Team October 6, 2020 Fabbaloo: 3D Printing For Toolmaking: What You Need To Know One of the biggest positives of 3D printing is that no tooling is required — but it might just be perfect for making parts including jigs, fixtures, end-use parts, and even tooling. While additive manufacturing is coming into play for end-use parts and serial production, these types of parts remain largely the purview of traditional manufacturing technologies. Read More
The Essentium Team October 5, 2020 3D Printing Media Network: The Rise of Additive Manufacturing and Future-Proofing Global Supply Chains In recent months long-established supply chains have faltered leading to delays in shipments, idle assembly lines and furloughed workers. With broad-scale interruptions likely to become increasingly common – how can manufacturers deploy 3D printing as a strategic addition to a supply chain strategy to help mitigate disruption?
