As much as we love our 3D Scanners, the real magic of Artec’s technology comes from their software. Every year, Artec introduces performance improvements and new features that blow us away, giving us faster and more powerful tools while capturing more data than ever before. Last year, we got HD Mode, which doubled the resolution for the Eva and Leo. This year, we get Artec Studio 16. Let’s take a look at my top 10 favorite improvements in this platform.

SOLIDWORKS 2022 has been revealed and at the annual live streaming event, hosted by Dassault Systèmes, we got the first public look at the significant enhancements that have been introduced in this upgrade. Among them are evolutions in assembly performance, graphics responsiveness, drawing detailing and new design capabilities that allow more flexibility and faster workflows. As always, there is a lot to unpack and understand and we're here to help! If you missed the live presentation from SOLIDWORKS, we have our short recap video below along with a multitude of resources, all in one place, so that you can get up to date quickly!

SOLIDWORKS 2022 is almost here, and we are excited about what the latest and greatest brings to the table. Stick with us, and we will make sure you get all the advancement details that go beyond SOLIDWORKS, including the latest in digital technology for 3D scanning, additive manufacturing and cloud collaboration! 

As engineering and design needs evolve, new challenges must be overcome. Adapting to change and understanding the needs of clients while providing cutting-edge solutions is a necessity to staying on top, both in technology and price point. Stratasys continually pushes the boundaries of 3D printing with these important factors in mind and recently launched their newest innovations as a firm testament to that. 

Whether you are an in-house engineer looking for something that offers multi-material options with a smaller footprint, an in-house designer with a desire to generate maximum output, or a medical professional that wants to produce high-quality, certified models, you will absolutely love the fantastic options that are now available in the 3D printing space from Stratasys. 

If you have kept your ear to the ground on the 3D printing front, you were bound to have heard the rumblings that Stratasys was planning to launch several new technologies this year. That rumbling turned into full quake at Stratasys’s Manufacturing Event, at the end of April, where they introduced three new platforms – effectively doubling Stratasys’s 3D printing technology offering.

Regardless if you were seeing feeds on social media or attending the virtual launch event, the impact of this announcement will be felt across the 3D printing industry. I wanted to take a few minutes to help you understand the significance of these new technologies, as this announcement is a major leap forward in TriMech’s polymer-based 3D printing portfolio. We will review these new offerings, why they matter, and who they matter to.

TriMech and Javelin Technologies are now one team, expanding 3D design and 3D printing support for designers, engineers, and manufacturers across Canada and the central and eastern United States. This move expands our 3D engineering and business and technical solution capabilities for designers, engineers and manufacturers across the central and eastern United States and Canada. 

Combining the two companies brings together their shared expertise across every stage of product development, including mechanical and electrical design, simulation and testing, data management, technical communication, and production. The integrated business will continue to provide the full suite of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD software and 3DEXPERIENCE Works, as well as configure-price-quote automation, process and workflow assessment, in-person and online training, and engineering and implementation services.

The ExOne Company, the global leader in industrial sand and metal 3D printers using binder jetting technology, today announced the addition of new experienced sales channel partners, including TriMech and Javelin Technologies, who significantly expand ExOne’s distribution footprint and will help reach more customers in new product segments across the United States and Canada.

ExOne’s new partners have more than 60 offices combined and will sell the ExOne Innovent+ metal binder jetting system, the Metal Designlab™ by Rapidia, as well as ancillary equipment, such as the X1F advanced furnace, and consumables.

The demand for reliable and accurate production-level additive manufacturing is growing exponentially, as companies were faced with crippling supply chain issues due to scarcity of raw materials and inhibited labor forces during the Covid-19 crisis. Stratasys has answered this call by expanding their polymeric 3D printing capabilities into SLA and DLP with acquisitions of companies such as Origin and RPS, Most recently, Stratasys continues to grow, by entering into the powder based additive manufacturing market with the introduction of SAF (Selective Absorption Fusion) technology.

Earlier this year, we shared with you some of the product launches and updates in 2020. This year has clearly not been one of the best. However, despite all the hardships brought on by a global pandemic, our solution partners still pushed through where they could and delivered new improvements and innovations. Here is the complete list of those additional products and updates that came out later this year.
