Jonathan Shaffer 212 325 1259 ■ Company Revenues Likely to Grow with Overall 3D Market: We currently [email protected] forecast medium-term 3D printer market growth of ~25%, with some OEMs Julian Mitchell guiding for organic growth of 30%-plus. The increasing installed base of 212 325 6668 production printers directly drives demand for MTLS software, and peer on- [email protected] demand parts data suggest this market will remain quite strong. Charles Clarke 212 538 7095 ■ Why Materialise over Other 3D Plays? MTLS is a hardware-agnostic play [email protected] on 3D printing market growth; its software is compatible with nearly all printer types, alleviating the need for investors to pick technological winners and losers. MTLS has high exposure to key industry drivers such as medical devices, shifting mix toward production parts, and less cyclical software. ■ Significant Potential Upside from Medical: We think MTLS is an excellent way to play the long-term adoption of patient-specific medical devices and virtual surgical planning, given close existing relationships with major device OEMs, high-density medical software IP, scope for metal device penetration (currently testing), and 40% revenue exposure to Medical. We are encouraged by the high growth in medical software (+19% in Q114) relative to hardware and think this will yield improved mix, with a significantly larger contribution from higher-margin software. Medical software also creates a cross-selling opportunity for the high-margin 3D Printing Software segment. ■ Valuation. We base our analysis on EV/sales (of peers) and DCF, giving a slight premium to MTLS versus peers for Medical exposure, 75%+ EBITDA from recurring-type software businesses, significant potential margin upside relative to peers, and untapped metals on-demand parts market.

Where Does Materialise Play in the 3D Printing Process? An engineer designs (or scans) an object in three dimensions using CAD (computer-aided design) software. Proprietary software from Materialise takes the engineer’s CAD design and mathematically slices it into cross sections. The software then determines the dimensions of the cross sections, inserts the necessary support structures, and communicates the order of assembly to the machine. The machine builds the object layer by layer (or point by point), typically using the materials provided by a print head and forming each cross section using the specifications from the CAD design. The finished product may require polishing or other final treatment.

    3D PRINTING: JEWELRY BASICS 125 S. Prospect Avenue, Elmhurst, IL 60126 (630) 279-8696 ● elmhurstpubliclibrary.org Create, Make, and Build WHAT IS 3D PRINTING? What is 3D Printing? A 3D printer works essentially like a traditional printer except it prints in plastic (or other material) layers to make 3-dimensional designs. 3D printers can print in several different materials including plastic, metal, wood, ceramics, limestone and even chocolate. Elmhurst Public Library uses a MakerBot 5th Generation Replicator which uses a PLA filament: a corn-based plastic. 3D printing has been around since as early as the 1990’s but has exploded in popularity due to technology advances and lowered costs. Although many 3D printers themselves can cost thousands of dollars, the materials are relatively inexpensive after the initial purchase. Ours cost about $2, 900 each. Why 3D print? Many different types of people use 3D printers for different things. Several news stories have covered incredible 3D printing projects like parents creating prosthesis for their children or the development of 3D printed cars, but there are plenty of uses for everyone. Some reasons you may use a 3D printer include: Replacing a broken cabinet handle Making fun gifts Printing the case for a prototype electronic component And maybe most importantly learning to use 3D printing software is a valuable skill Where To Find 3D Jewelry Files to Download Shapeways - will custom print designs in different materials for you.

    Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing Review Additive Manufacturing, Cloud-Based 3D Printing and Associated Services—Overview Felix W. Baumann 1,2,* and Dieter Roller 2 1 TWT GmbH Science & Innovation, Stuttgart 70565, Germany 2 Institute of Computer-aided Product Development, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart 70569, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-711-215-777-1207 Received: 22 September 2017; Accepted: 13 October 2017; Published: 17 October 2017 Abstract: Cloud Manufacturing (CM) is the concept of using manufacturing resources in a service-oriented way over the Internet. Recent developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) are making it possible to utilise resources ad-hoc as replacements for traditional manufacturing resources in case of spontaneous problems in the established manufacturing processes. In order to be of use in these scenarios, the AM resources must adhere to a strict principle of transparency and service composition in adherence to the Cloud Computing (CC) paradigm. With this review, we provide an overview of CM, AM and relevant domains as well as presenting the historical development of scientific research in these fields, from 2002 to 2016. Part of this work is also a meta-review on the domain to further detail its development and structure. Keywords: additive manufacturing; cloud manufacturing; 3D printing service 1. Introduction Cloud Manufacturing (here CM, in other works also CMfg) as a concept is not new and has been executed in enterprises for many years [1], under different terms, e.g., Grid Manufacturing [2] or Agile Manufacturing [3]. The decision to have a globally distributed production process with many contractors or partners interconnected and related supply chains is a luxurious one.

NEW TOOLING FOR ROBOTICS MANUFACTURERS RAPID PROTOTYPING DIRECT FABRICATION SAVING TIME AND MONEY NEED A PART? PRINT IT! 3D PRINTING AND ITS INNOVATIVE FUTURE FOR ROBOTICS PLAYERS IN THE 3D PRINTING MARKETPLACE roboticsbusinessreview.com 2 WHY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AND 3D PRINTING BENEFITS ROBOT CREATORS As new materials, companies and processes emerge, the disruptive ability of 3D printing can save robot creators time, money, and create better designs and fabrication of robots for years to come. By Jim Romeo While many robotics companies already utilize 3D printing in the designs of their robots, experts say this relationship will grow as the benefits of additive manufacturing gains more recognition as a smart manufacturing practice for production as well. The flexibility and customization that 3D printing creates will be more widely adopted by companies in the months and years to come. Both technologies – additive manufacturing/3D printing and robotics – complement each other to achieve positive results, which get passed on to customers with a better and more effective robot. DISRUPTING INDUSTRIES WITHIN MANUFACTURING In 2018, consultancy McKinsey and Company published “The Next Horizon for Industrial Manufacturing: Adopting Digital Technologies in Making and Delivering,” which summarized the importance of disruptive technologies and their impact on industrial manufacturing. “In the past few years, advanced industrial companies have made solid progress in improving productivity along the manufacturing value chain. In the U.S., for instance, the productivity of industrial workers has increased by 47% over the past 20 years.

  • 3D Printing Resource Guide
    3D Printing Resource Guide What is 3D Printing? 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. 3D printing starts with a digital file derived from computer aided design (CAD) software. Once a design is completed, it must then be exported as a standard tessellation language (STL) file, meaning the file is translated into triangulated surfaces and vertices. The STL file then has to be sliced into hundreds, sometimes thousands, of 2-D layers. This is performed using a software program called a Slicer. The Slicer then sends the job directly to the 3D Printer. A 3D printer then reads the 2-D layers as building blocks which it layers one atop the other, thus forming a three dimensional object. Credit: Penandplastic.com, Wikipedia.com, Pinshape.com, 3DPrinting.com Common 3D Printer Types Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers which use FDM Technology construct objects layer by layer from the very bottom up by heating and extruding thermoplastic filament. FDM printers are popular due to their speed and ease of use. FDM prints require little or no post-processing. FDM printers are limited in their ability to produce finely-detailed objects. Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) 3D printers using SLA technology work by curing liquid resin with UV light. The light, emitted via laser or a projector, solidifies resin and builds objects layer by layer.

It presents a huge potential for ecology and evolution, sciences with a long tradition of inventing and creating objects for research, education and outreach. Its general principle as an additive manufacturing technique is relatively easy to understand: objects are created by adding material layers on top of each other. Although this may seem very straightforward on paper, it is much harder in the real world. Specific knowledge is indeed needed to successfully turn an idea into a real object, because of technical choices and limitations at each step of the implementation. This article aims at helping scientists to jump in the 3D printing revolution, by offering a hands-on guide to current 3D printing technology. We first give a brief overview of uses of 3D printing in ecology and evolution, then review the whole process of object creation, split into three steps: (1) obtaining the digital 3D model of the object of interest, (2) choosing the 3D printing technology and material best adapted to the requirements of its intended use, (3) pre- and post- © 2020 by the author(s).
