Forbes: 3D Printed Prosthetics? These Two Companies Have Partnered to do Just That November 29, 2019December 13, 2019 | The Essentium Team Share The field of prosthetics fabrication is a unique mixture of art and science. “I’ve spoken with prosthetists who were cabinetmaker, artisans,” said Blake Teipel, co-founder and CEO of Essentium, Inc., a 3D printer and materials manufacturer in Pflugerville, Texas. “On the other side are the academic clinicians, from schools like Baylor.” (The Baylor College of Medicine hosts one of the country’s top programs for orthotics and prosthetics.) The academics have driven vast improvements in prosthetic function in recent years, while the artisans help guarantee the all-important fit to the remainder of the limb that’s being replaced. Now 3-D printing is helping with both sides of the equation. Read more: Forbes Share

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?
