SDC: Additive Manufacturing Will Change Procurement as You Know It April 29, 2020April 29, 2020 | The Essentium Team Share Every manufacturer can benefit from more efficient procurement and shorter production cycles. That’s why a growing number of manufacturers are now taking a serious look at additive manufacturing. While manufacturing is widely outsourced due to manpower costs, additive manufacturing is turning current manufacturing processes upside down. It is driving localized production and transforming logistics and supply chains. Additive manufacturing will lead to a more sustainable future, where more consumer items are produced locally and fewer of our everyday goods are shipped across the globe. That’s a game-changer for procurement. Read more: SDC 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.
