And we also got to takea close up look at the quad-laser RenAM 500Q.
Beyond formnext
在11月，我们也访问的3D系统在丹佛，涵盖了包括FabPro 1000 3D打印机在内的新产品的推出。
并且，从2D打印到3D打印, Kodak soft-launched its first ever professional desktop 3D printer, the Portrait, for an RRP of $2,799.
Fierce competition
Competition within the 3D printing industry continued to heat up throughout November in a number of lucrative deals. Notably, in a Series C funding round,Markforged raised $30 millionof investment including money from Microsoft, Porsche and Siemens.
APWorks的Scandium/AluminumScalMalloy材料赢得了Toyal的新开发人员, a producer of aluminum pigments and coatings for the automotive industry.
