Italian-American 3D printing solutions provider Roboze has welcomed two renowned aerospace and industrial manufacturing members to its Advisory Board, in order to help speed up the adoption of 3D printing for production. Steven Gonzalez and Alain Harrus each bring a plethora of skills and experience to the Board, which is good news as the company is working to promote a new manufacturing paradigm that’s focused on bringing the value of production back to the point of use. Gonzalez, who joined the NASA team in 1988, is a major expert in the space industry, wanted to work with Roboze to help redefine the space sector standards, as the company’s AM technology is dedicated to metal replacement. Harrus, Chairman of the board at California-based electronics company Kateeva, is an expert in industrial manufacturing, with more than 20 years of venture capital experience in Silicon Valley and a background in physics.

“We are glad to welcome Steven Gonzalez and Alain Harrus to our Advisory Board. Steven is one of the most experienced managers in the space industry. He has always been at the forefront of the management and development of innovative projects, even in the long term, and I am convinced that he will help us redefine industry standards in terms of performance and quality,” said Roboze Founder and CEO Alessio Lorusso. “Having Alain, on the other hand, is confirmation for us that we have worked well over these years, orienting the company in the right direction. The whole team is enthusiastic about the arrival of Alain who adds an important wealth of experience and skills to accelerate the development and both industrial and financial growth of Roboze. Alain will help us in identifying the possibility of disruptive growth also thanks to access to important capital markets.”

Autodesk Releases Netfabb 2022

Finally, 3D software giant Autodesk has released the latest version of its Netfabb connected software for design, simulation, and additive manufacturing. Netfabb 2022 has three focus areas of new functionality, outlined in a new video. This version features more integrated support than ever, including for the Stratasys Origin One, ExOne X1 160Pro binder jetting, Spectroplast’s silicone extrusion SAM technology, and more. Plus, there are improvements focused on User Experience and Toolpathing Simulation, though additional support for hardware systems is the main thing here.

“In this release we focused our efforts on three key areas: machine integration, user experience, key utility improvements, such as toolpathing and simulation,” the video states. “The 2022 release improves existing integrations with EOS and Mimaki printers by utilizing the software development kit provided by those hardware partners. We also partnered with Stratasys to improve our existing integration with the Origin One printer, and we’re releasing a native connection to the Origin online platform, making it easier to set up your print jobs.”
