3D Systems on Tuesday announced 3DXpert for Solidworks, a new set of tools for Solidworks users to prepare and optimize their designs for both plastic and metal additive manufacturing. Solidworks ...

At the heart of the cell are four compact single-screw extruders, which enable additive manufacturing based on standard granulates and are guided by industrial robots. Here, the spatial degrees of ...

A new research paper introduces a compact screw-based pellet extruder for high content feedstocks, and it could materially shift costs and throughput for polymer, metal and ceramic additive ...

Extruders are devices that heat and melt the feedstock and extrude it through the nozzle along a predetermined path on the print bed. Based on the material feeding, 3D printers are classified as ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Oct. 12, 2017 - Ohio-based Strangpresse has exclusively licensed additive manufacturing-related extruder technology from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory that ...

The GMP (good manufacturing practices) twin-screw extruder series is designed for medical device and pharmaceutical applications. The extruder features precisely designed and machined hardware and ...

In a world that’s literally awash in plastic waste, it seems a pity to have to buy fresh rolls of plastic filament to feed our 3D-printers, only to have them generate yet more plastic waste. Breaking ...

Green bodies are first required for the production of near-net-shape silicon carbide ceramics (SiC). These are thermoplastic components produced on the "Pellet Additive Manufacturing" 3D printer ...
