Automated 3D Printing Industry Overview
The automated 3D printing market is competitive and consists of several major players who are trying to gain a larger share, but top players have gained a major proportion of consumers and also investing in R&D and partnerships with hardware vendors for more developments and innovations. Some of the key players include Stratasys Ltd, 3D Systems Corporation, and The ExOne Company, among others.
- February 2022 - Viaccess-Orca, ShipParts.com, along with SLM Solutions, announced a new technology solution that enables direct Cloud-to-Print for additive manufacturing (AM). This fully automated software execution protects the manufacturer's intellectual property (IP) associated with part data by controlling the quantity, duration, and parameters of acceptable prints. Based on the native integration of VO's SMP software library and SLM Solutions machine firmware, this Cloud-to-Print solution allows manufacturers to be fully confident that their IP will be protected when printing is licensed.
- January 2022 - Materialise NV, a renowned provider of additive manufacturing (AM) software and services, Sigma Labs, Inc., a provider of quality assurance software, and Materialise, together have developed a technology to enhance the scalability of metal AM applications. The new platform combines Sigma Labs' PrintRite3D sensor technology to Materialise Control Platform to enable the users to identify and correct metal build issues in real-time.
- January 2022 - PostProcess Technologies announced the addition of a new solution lineup of automated, intelligent post-printing solutions for additive manufacturing (AM) to its portfolio. The new VORSA 500 leverages PostProcess technology for consistent, hands-free support structure removal on 3D printed FDM parts.
