Additive Manufacturing: Linear Motor Platform Delivers Speed, Low Part Cost for Production AM June 8, 2019October 29, 2019 | The Essentium Team Share For additive manufacturing (AM) to succeed as a solution for scale production, two conditions will need to be met, says Blake Teipel, CEO and cofounder of Essentium. First, the unit cost of parts made this way will need to be low, and second, the machines will need to be repeatable and reliable. These are the conditions CNC machine tools meet. And these are the requirements the Austin, Texas-based startup had in mind in developing its new High Speed Extrusion (HSE) polymer AM machine. Resembling a machine tool more than a 3D printer, the machine made its North American debut at the recent Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference. Read More: Additive Manufacturing 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?
