formnext2018is nearing with less than two weeks to go. As the largest event of its kind to date, 3D Printing Industry is giving readersa weekly previewof the upcoming hardware, software and materials releases, to make sure you don’t miss out.
Today we feature upcoming materials launches from Sinterit, AM Polymer Research and KIMYA; new 3ntr, Essentium and Lumi Industries hardware; software updates from atum3D and Sigma Labs; and more.
新材料释放：Sinterit，AM聚合物研究，Kimya
In the lead-up to Formnext, Polish desktop SLS 3D printer provider烧结has been releasing a range of new polymeric powders. Following itsPA11 Onyx, tipped to be the first of its kind for desktop SLS, Sinterit has now launched a powdered TPU material called Flexa Soft.
It has the lowest shore hardness of Sinterit’s new materials, Flexa Soft opens up more “mellow” SLS applications in medical simulation, fashion, and other industries.
Find Sinterit in hall 3.1, booth G41.
German materials developerAM Polymer Research, is also showcasing new powder bed fusion materials at the show, but for industrial systems. It’s ROLASERIT family has a new addition, PP010F1, a polypropylene (PP) characterised by very good flow behaviour and 100% reusability.
Find AM Polymer Research in hall 3.0, booth B30L.
In filaments KIMYA, the 3D materials branch of inkjet cartridge and thermal transfer ribbon producerARMOR Group，在博览会上有希望的新产品。2018年10月早些时候，该公司在巴黎埃诺瓦沙龙展示了其ABS ESD细丝。ABS ESD是一种旨在为3D打印零件提供静电放电保护的材料。

The latest 3D printer hardware developments
复数添加剂制造雷电竞充值, from Portland, Oregon, is adding a PEEK 3D printer to its 3ntr systems range. The Spectral 30 has a 300 x 300 x 300 mm build area suitable for worktops, and extrudes at temperatures up to 500°C.
3ntr systems are in hall 3.1, booth J20.
For the second year in row, Japanese engineering companyMimakiwill be showing its full color abilities of theMimaki 3DUJ-553system at the show.
See Mimaki in hall 3.1, booth D26.
材料和系统开发人员Essentiumis to deliver the High Speed Extrusion Platform (HSE) tipped to be “10x faster and more accurate than any other extrusion platform” and capable of producing parts at scale.
Essentium is in hall 3.1, booth J50.
And portable 3D printer developerLumi Industries, that has enjoyed a string ofsuccessful crowdfunding campaignsin recent years, is reportedly demonstrating its “most compact 3D printer ever” at Formnext 2018. The LumifoldTB is a DLP 3D printer that uses tablets as a light source.
See Lumi Industries in hall 3.1, booth J40.
Industrial and AI softwares
atum3D专家开放平台DLP 3 d印刷、has prepared its Operator Station software for visitors to Formnext. Built using the company’s proprietary MAGS AI technology, the Operator Station helps users prepare models for DLP by offering them the option to specify the area of an object which requires least scarring/support removal, and the most detail.
