August of 2021 saw the completion of the Tokyo Olympics, with 3D printing technology making several appearances on the world stage. Desktop Metal announced plans to buy out binder jetting rival ExOne in one of the biggest additive manufacturing acquisitions of the year. Arevo, Zetwerk, and ICON each yielded major funding news and the UAE’s Sheikh Mohammed issued a decree to regulate construction 3D printing in Dubai.
雷电竞充值东京奥运会的增材制造业
The Tokyo Olympics ran from 23 July – 8 August 2021, and we saw a whole host of 3D printing applications supporting Olympians from all four corners of the globe. Automotive manufacturer现代汽车集团3D打印了一组bow grips for the Korean archery team，帮助他们在今年的奥运会上将男子，女子和混合团队类别的黄金带回家。
Elsewhere, aluminum specialistFehrmann合金3D printed a方向舵刀片悬架有助于推动澳大利亚帆船队胜利。该部分是根据汉堡船厂的要求使用Fehrmann的高性能Almgty合金制造的Ziegelmayer, a leading manufacturer of Olympic sailboats in the 470 class.
在残奥会，3D打印服务提供商中3D Verkstan二手碳纤维3D打印技术标记生产custom sports equipment for para-athletes。该公司帮助设计，3D打印和测试原型零件，用于为盲人骑自行车的人和她的视力赛车飞行员设计串联周期传动系统。
桌面金属以获取Exone
关于收购新闻，3D打印机制造商Desktop Metal当它达成确定的同意获取竞争对手活页夹喷射公司Exone。The deal was finalized in Q4 2021, with Desktop Metal paying ExOne shareholders $192 million in cash and $383 million in shares, valuing the firm at $575 million. Both companies stated that they ultimately expected the transaction to improve binder jetting adoption rates, helping the technology expand to more large-volume clients.
Exone首席执行官约翰·哈特纳（John Hartner）解释说：“我对这种组合感到非常兴奋，我相信这将极大地加速生产金属添加剂制造业。”雷电竞充值“这种组合汇集了两名行业领导者，它们结合在一起，将使客户的挑战更快地解决，并将生产金属添加剂的现实带入了多年。”
来自Arevo，Gelato，Zetwerk和Icon的新闻
8月，复合3D打印公司arevo关闭了由2500万美元的融资回合。Khosla Ventures和创始人基金。该公司还完成了新闻world’s largest continuous carbon fiber 3D printing facility迄今为止。该设施配备了该公司70个运输集装箱大小的Aqua 2 3D打印机，该设施将帮助AREVO为自行车，电子自行车，电子示波器和其他雷电竞app下载消费产品制造制造零件。
“在去年引入Aqua 2（比Aqua 1快4倍）之后，我们专注于大规模生产和运营这些系统，” Arevo的首席执行官Sonny Vu说。“现在，在我们的各个地方共有76个系统连接并运行，我们已经完成了第一阶段的工业化。
在其他地方，按需制造服务提供商Zetwerk提高1.5亿美元成为印度最新的商业独角兽之一。该公司的总价值达到13.3亿美元，该资金将用于投资新技术并扩大公司的全球影响力。Zetwerk旨在更好地解决大流行期间遇到供应链问题的西方制造商。
Zetwerk首席执行官Amrit Acharya解释说：“ Zetwerk正在帮助企业在迅速变化的全球供应链中导航到数字制造业。”“在过去的一年中，有100多家西方公司通过Zetwerk将其供应链转移到了工业和消费产品中。”
Over in the construction 3D printing sector, Texan firm图标筹集了2.07亿美元，以筹集总投资，最高可达2.66亿美元。该公司表示将使用资本来帮助“bring housing and construction into the modern world”, advancing its concrete printing technology, scaling its production capacity, and expanding its team of engineers and architects.
“Since our unveiling in 2018, ICON’s primary work has been maturing its technology from prototype to reliable, ready-for-the-world products and services,” said Jason Ballard, CEO of ICON. “This has required dozens of fundamental engineering, scientific and architectural breakthroughs, and we’re very proud of where we are today. We want to turn up the velocity in a major way and are ready to scale.”
谢赫·穆罕默德（Sheikh Mohammed）希望调节迪拜的建筑3D打印
Finally, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), issued a法令规范迪拜建筑业中3D打印技术的使用。
Decree No. 24 of 2021 was brought in to support the region’s target of ensuring that a quarter of its newly constructed buildings are built using 3D printing technology by 2030. The new legislation also aims to promote Dubai as a regional and global hub for 3D printing technology and forms part of a broader plan to spur economic growth and the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies in the emirate.
