Read on for the most recent updates from Nano Dimension, Nexeo Plastics, Oqton, Mimaki, Metron Additive Manufacturing, and more.
New 3D printing partnerships from Nexeo Plastics and Oqton
Beginning this edition of sliced is thermoplastic resin distributorNexeo Plastics, which has signed an agreement withHighsun工程塑料to distribute the firm’s 3D printing resins throughout the Americas.
Highsun’s resins are suited for mono and multilayer film applications that require thermoformability and chemical and puncture resistance, alongside an improved oxygen and aroma barrier. In particular, the resins are ideal for compounding, extrusion, and blow molding processes.
“Highsun and Nexeo Plastics’ synergistic competencies will create a valuable platform for our accelerated growth in the Americas,” said Stanly Tan, Business General Manager at Highsun Engineering Plastics.
“This partnership will see us harnessing the strength of Highsun’s world-leading polyamide polymerization capabilities and Nexeo Plastics’ integrated supply chain and its local network and relationships.”
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI) software firmOqtonhas entered into a strategic partnership with 3D printer manufacturerEplus3Dto advance the adoption of dental 3D printing. Through the partnership, the companies are seeking to enable dental laboratory professionals to increase their productivity and provide a better service to their customers.
To this end, Oqton’s AI-powered manufacturing OS end-to-end platform will be made available to users of Eplus3D’s metal 3D printers in order to deliver full traceability and automation from initial design through to preparing files for production.
纳米尺寸启动共享回购计划
在其他地方，添加性生产的电子产品（AME）专家Nano Dimensionhas initiated a one-year share repurchase plan allowing the company to invest up to $100 million to repurchase its American Depository Shares (ADSs).
The repurchase plan authorizes Nano Dimension’s management to repurchase ADSs from time to time in both open market and privately negotiated transactions, and can be terminated or suspended at any time.
Mimaki unveils new pure clear ink for transparent modeling
宽幅喷墨打印机和切割机制造商Mimakihas released a new Pure Clear MH-110PCL ink intended for use with its 3DUJ-553 full-color 3D printer. The ink is designed to eliminate the yellowish tint evident in previous MH-100CL clear inks to enable more transparent modeling for applications such as home appliances, cosmetics, and medical and architectural models.
As well as its clear output, the Pure Clear MH-110PCL can also be combined with color inks to reproduce translucent color effects, particularly desirable within practical medical models. Pure Clear MH-110PCL is available in 4.8-liter capacity ink bottles from May 2022.
“世界的第一个” 3D印刷骑自行车茎
Rounding off this week’s news roundup is engineering consultancyMetron Additive Manufacturing, which has launched what it claims is the “world’s first” commercially-available 3D printed stem through its new cycling components wing,Mythos.
Elix茎旨在提供增加的“可用刚度”，3D打印使神话能够使用类似晶格的设计来设计组件，从而增强了组件的特定区域，同时减轻了其他部件的重量。结果，该公司可以通过小型局部增援消除高压力的区域，并从茎中清除非必需的材料。
The stem was 3D printed via selective laser melting (SLM) in Scalmalloy, a 3D printing-specific material made from scandium, aluminum, and magnesium and developed by engineers at Airbus. Set to become the first commercially available 3D printed bike stem for general public use, the Elix stem will be priced at a hefty £500 and pave the way for additional 3D printed components from Mythos in the future.
