The month of May yielded a number of important events in the 3D printing industry, including the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) 2021 event, major acquisitions from the likes of 3D Systems and CELLINK, and Desktop Metal launching a new wood 3D printing technology. The aerospace sector was also active with additive manufacturing milestones from GKN and Aerojet Rocketdyne.
Amug 2021: May 2 – 6, 2021
2021年5月开始Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference，从佛罗里达州奥兰多的第二名到第六。该活动是自19日大流行开始以来首次举办的首次大型面对面的3D印刷贸易展览会，吸引了大约100名参展商和800多名与会者。
除展览外，会议还包括技术演讲，小组讨论，技术竞赛，晚间聚会和一般网络。
Looking at some of the more notable announcements made around AMUG week,Stratasys announced three new printers：原点，SAF H350和F770。相似地，Essentium还宣布发布其第一个独立双重挤出（IDEX）3D打印机 -HSE 280i HT.
从3D系统和Cellink收购
In business news, US-based 3D printer manufacturer3D系统announced其3D打印业务的两项新战略增长收购. The companies in question wereAlevi, a Pennsylvania-based 3D bioprinter developer, and加法作品, a German 3D printing software developer. Made as part of the company’s aggressive four-step growth initiative, the two moves were intended to support 3D Systems’ regenerative medicine and industrialization efforts respectively.
3D Systems总裁兼首席执行官Jeffrey Graves博士表示：“我们继续制定四个相计划，越来越重视投资加速增长和盈利能力。我对我们将Allevi和添加剂作品的专业知识，功能和技术感到兴奋。”
瑞典3D生物生产商制造商Cellink，现在是BICO集团, also announced the获得两光子聚合（2pp）3D打印机制造商Nanoscribe. Through the deal, worth a total of €50 million, CELLINK took full control of Nanoscribe to integrate 2PP technology into its own capabilities, enabling the fabrication of more lifelike soft tissues.
Cellink首席执行官Erik Gatenholm说：“借助Nanoscribe的最先进的2PP技术，我们将补充我们的产品组合，并为我们的惊人客户提供更广泛的产品。”“为了改善世界各地的健康，我们将强大的，目的驱动的增长议程与开拓性的生物体积技术相结合。”
桌面金属的木材3D打印技术
When it came to new technologies, industrial 3D printer OEM桌面金属通过其子公司推出福特，一个专注于3D打印功能最终使用木材零件通过粘合剂喷射。
Forust工艺可以通过提高木材制造业和造纸工业（木屑和木质素）的废物副产品的范围来起作用。通过将这些副产品与特殊的生物环氧树脂复合材料混合在一起，该公司可以创建可持续的3D打印材料，与桌面金属的粘合剂喷气机兼容。
可持续发展的著名建筑师兼领导者威廉·麦克唐纳（William McDonough）表示：“福特技术使我们能够采用以前造成木材浪费的东西，并将其重新化为精美而有用的东西。我们正在通过将它们的纤维素和木质素重新定义为现在和后代的资产。”
航天achievements from Aerojet Rocketdyne and GKN
在航空航天前，推进系统制造商Aerojet Rocketdyneannounced that an upgraded version of its RL10 rocket engine had successfully passedNASAhot-fire testing procedures. During the trials, the company’s newRL10C-X上阶段发动机，具有加性制造的喷油器和燃烧室，在空间内模拟内显示了点火和长期耐久性。
“Successfully completing this test series validates our approach to incorporating 3D printing technology into the RL10 program in order to reduce cost while maintaining the engine’s unmatched performance,” said Eileen P. Drake, CEO of Aerojet Rocketdyne. “The RL10 has been a workhorse in the industry for nearly six decades and the RL10C-X will help ensure the engine maintains this leadership position.”
在其他地方，航空供应商GKN Aerospacesuccessfully manufactured a3D打印的中间压缩机外壳（ICC）for aircraft engine manufacturer劳斯莱斯. The ICC was set to be used in a demonstrator program for Rolls-Royce’s upcoming UltraFan engine, and was developed as part of Clean Sky 2, Europe’s largest aeronautics research program focused on reducing the CO2 emissions and noise levels of today’s aircraft engines.
GKN Aerospace在瑞典全球技术中心副总裁Henrik Runnemalm表示：“将Ultrafan Engine ICC交付给Rolls-Royce是一个真正的里程碑。它重申了Clean Sky 2合作计划的成功，我们很高兴能在ICC开发中实施我们最新的可持续技术。”
