The Essentium team is excited to attend Additive Manufacturing User’s Group (AMUG) hosted in Chicaco, Illinois on April 3-7, 2021. We personally invite you to stop by our booth at D7 and attend one or more of our sessions presented by our engineers and executives listed below.

Additive manufacturing (AM) makes businesses more agile as they can quickly respond to changing market demands. AM makes businesses more independent, as they are less reliant on third-party vendors and insulated from supply chain disruptions. It also gives businesses a competitive edge by enabling a first-to-market position to capture revenues from early adopters. On top […]

Is your business prepared to carry on in the event of a supply chain disruption? You might have the raw material or parts inventory on hand to get through a few days, but what about the long term? Many factories will eventually grind to halt, unless there is a response plan in place. This article […]

Agility allows companies to capitalize on the latest trends, fads, or emerging technologies and to overcome unexpected interruptions in the supply chain. One of the ways companies can increase agility is by turning to additive manufacturing (AM) and Essentium’s High Speed Extrusion (HSE) technology. This approach allows customer to operate with the agility needed to […]

Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) events that can damage sensitive electronic components during manufacturing is primarily accomplished through the use of tools, clothes, covers, trays, and grippers made of ESD-safe materials. This article discusses the scientific principles behind what gives a 3D printer filament ESD-safe properties, and why Essentium’s materials are the best choice for your […]

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden transfer of an electric charge from one object to another. While not dangerous to people, these tiny shocks can ruin sensitive electronic equipment such as printed circuit boards (PCB) and microchips. This article explores how you can solve many of the problems associated with traditional methods of 3D printing […]

When it comes to producing small quantities of just about any tool used on the factory floor, additive manufacturing (AM) beats subtractive manufacturing hands down. This article reviews how Essentium’s High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printing Platform, and Z Collection of ESD-safe materials can overcome the challenges to equipping your assembly lines and workers with […]

In Essentium’s recent third-party study about 3D printing trends, manufacturers were asked to indicate how vital 3D printing is to their sustainability initiatives. One hundred percent of the respondents said it is important, and more than 75 percent said it is “very” important. This confidence reveals that 3D printing sustainability efforts will be crucial as […]

For the fourth year in a row, Essentium sponsored a third-party study to get industry feedback on the present and future use of industrial additive manufacturing (AM.) One of the biggest takeaways from the latest report was the strong confidence in the financial potential for 3D printing. Ninety six percent of manufacturing managers and executives surveyed agreed […]

Essentium recently sponsored its fourth annual Trends in 3D Printing at Scale Report, which surveyed more than 160 managers and executives with responsibility for additive manufacturing (AM) at scale. Participants were asked questions related to the present and future use of industrial 3D printing and their opinions on outcomes. Among these questions, participants were asked which obstacles […]

We are excited to announce that Essentium will be attending Formnext November 16-19, 2021, in Frankfurt, Germany. As the leading industry platform for additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing, Formnext is the international meeting point for the next generation of intelligent industrial production. We personally invite you to stop by booth Hall 12.1, Booth D41 and […]

Large-scale 3D printing uses additive manufacturing (AM) to create large parts and tools used in the manufacturing process. The Essentium HSE 3D Printer is an industrial-grade AM system capable of printing large parts and tools in any quantity in one piece.
