Medical Plastics News: Essentium: AM Ready for Prime Time November 12, 2020November 18, 2020 | The Essentium Team Share Essentium, Inc. has announced the first in a series of findings from independent global research on the current and future use of industrial 3D printing. The third annual study reveals that the use of large-scale AM has more than doubled in the past year for 70 per cent of manufacturing companies. The number of companies that have shifted to using AM for full-scale production has doubled from seven per cent in 2019 to 14 per cent in 2020. During the Covid-19 pandemic, AM proved it can step in to make quantities of supplies at scale, or at least the mould to make the product, to keep the assembly lines moving. The survey found 57 per cent of manufacturers increased 3D printing for production parts to keep their supply chains flowing during the crisis. Read More: Medical Plastics News Share

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.
