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.

These days, nearly every military operation requires the support of sensitive gear that must arrive on site in pristine condition. Examples include radar tracking equipment, unmanned drones and controllers, munitions and detonation devices, armament inspection tools, telecommunications systems, and many others.

Additive manufacturing (AM) was initially viewed as a prototyping technology — a very creative and cost-effective means for product engineers to experiment with various sizes, shapes, and types of materials. It was a great tool for innovation, but most early 3D printers lacked the speed, size, and accuracy required to 3D print production parts at […]

Join the United States Armed Forces (any branch) and part of the provided uniform is one pair of standard-issue combat boots. Designed for dry conditions, the boots’ composite rubber soles provide adequate footing for walking on concrete, asphalt, and packed dirt, but not so much when the terrain is covered in mud, slush, snow, or ice.

Aerospace engineers are constantly pushing the envelope on aircraft design. Although the shape of a plane’s fuselage and wings haven’t changed much over the past few decades, the focus is now on squeezing every last drop of efficiency out of aircraft design.

3D printing is an enabling technology. It empowers manufacturers to make parts that are lighter, cheaper, and stronger. Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) are making things more repeatable, more ergonomic, more possible. Essentium is a trusted partner of the U.S. Department of Defense, and I have seen firsthand how shrinking the half-life of innovation using technologies […]

The Essentium team is excited to attend two trade shows co-located in the McCormick Center this September, Rapid + TCT and FabTech, on September 13-16, 2021. We personally invite you to stop by booth #A1414 at Rapid TCT or booth #E7625 at FabTech and attend our sessions presented by our engineers and executives listed below.
