SolidSmack sur Twitter : "Dremel announces sub-$1K mass-market 3D Printer at #MakerCon. #3dprinting #productdesign. Rapid Prototyping: Ink Jet Printing (Designophy - Resource, www. The Ink Jet Printing technology is also sometimes called Ballistic Particle Manufacturing. Other systems providers use considerably different techniques, but they all rely on squirting a build material in a liquid or melted state which cools or otherwise hardens to form a solid on impact. One example of the technology variations available in these so-called phase change inkjets is provided by 3D Systems.
This company produces an inkjet machine, called the ThermoJet Modeler (formerly Actua), based on technology from Spectra, Inc. which utilizes several hundred nozzles. By contrast, the Solidscape machine uses a single jet each for build and support materials, and it serves as an introduction here. Plastic object, wax and support materials, are held in a melted liquid state at elevated temperature in reservoirs (A). The liquids are fed to individual jetting heads (B) through thermally insulated tubing. Fused Deposition Modeling Figure 1 is a schematic of this method.
Solid Ground Curing 1. Solido. Untitled. HP signs deal with Stratasys: Let the 3D printing games c. The wire’s been abuzz since yesterday since HP and Stratasys announced a partnership, with many seeing this as the long-overdue point where the 3d printing world jumps off and really becomes mainstream. So, let’s take a look at the announcement, then make a few judgement called on what it means for both companies, why it’s happened and what it means.
First, the announcement: Stratasys, the leading manufacturer of 3D printers and 3D production systems, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement with HP for Stratasys to manufacture an HP-branded 3D printer. Used by product designers and architects, Stratasys 3D printers create three-dimensional plastic models directly from 3D digital designs.Under the terms of the agreement, Stratasys will develop and manufacture for HP an exclusive line of 3D printers based on Stratasys’ patented Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. Advertisement Why Now? The other reason is patents. This is the dirty little secret of the RP world.
FEA. CAD and Virtual Prototyping Software: Continuous Development in. Wednesday, 23 December 2009 In our annual poll of executives at leading design and virtual prototyping software companies, we found that in difficult economic times, providing customers with easy-to-use, value-added products is even more important. We asked executives to give their views on the importance of 2D to 3D, upfront simulation, and trends that will affect the software market in 2010. The 2D-to-3D Barrier Each year, CAD users cite that there are still barriers to migrating from 2D to 3D, and most include ease of use as one of those barriers.
Ease of adoption of a 3D product also continues to be a major concern for many customers. Dan Staples, director of Solid Edge product development for Siemens PLM Software, agrees that ease of adoption is critical. Simplifying the 3D environment also helps in adoption from 2D. For Autodesk, the biggest barrier to 3D adoption is the status quo, according to Amy Bunszel, senior director of Digital Engineering. Integrating Simulation and Analysis.
