3D Printing News Unpeeled

Our Executive Editor Joris Peels, who’s also the Vice President of Consulting at SmarTech Analysis, offers a news livestream one to two times a week called 3D Printing News Unpeeled at 9:30 am EST. For each episode, Peels gets on LinkedIn Live and tells us, in 20 minutes or less, what he considers to be the top news stories from the 3D printing industry that week, and why they’re important. Some of the stories in his roundup are ones we’ve covered at 3DPrint.com, and some are not, but they are all equally interesting and impactful.

May 30 – June 2: The International Plastics and Rubber Event

From Tuesday, May 30th through Friday, June 2nd, Equiplast, the International Plastics and Rubber Event, will be held in Barcelona, “connecting industry, society & sustainability.” The fair will feature a range of industry solutions and machinery from all plastic processing sectors, including molds and dies, automation systems, R&D, raw materials and additives, and more. Attendees can learn about the initiatives and projects that best reflect the industry’s transformational nature based on three strategic axes: the circular economy, digitalization, and technology transfer.

“Equiplast is the trade fair that gathers together all the sectors of plastic and rubber to promote solutions to address the global challenges related to their impact on the environment.

“For 4 days it will become the meeting point to promote the latest solutions in the circular economy and innovation with the aim of accelerating transformation towards a more sustainable future.”

June 1: Nanoscribe Talks Aligned 3D Printing on Optical Fibers

At 10 am EST (5 pm CEST) on Thursday, June 1st, Nanoscribe will hold a webinar on “Aligned 3D printing on optical fibers,” with a focus on miniaturized optics and efficient interconnects for photonics packaging. Technology experts from Nanoscribe, Printoptix, and PHIX Photonics Assembly will discuss how to use optical fibers for imaging and sensing applications, and efficient optical interconnects for photonic integration. Attendees will learn about Nanoscribe’s Aligned 2-Photon Lithography (A2PL®) technology, see a live demo of Quantum X align, hear new applications with miniaturized optics, learn how microoptics can be printed directly onto optical fibers, and more.

“Explore the world of fiber-based microoptics and learn about the technical challenges to be tackled. Discover the new opportunities opened up with Quantum X align equipped with A2PL technology. Experience the complete printing workflow, including the detection of the exact position of defined substrates such as optical fibers, to then optimally place the microoptics and automatically compensate for even minimal substrate tilts in the printing process, all the way to the final print result in a live webinar demo. And finally, learn about technologies, novel approaches such as aligned 3D printing, and innovative applications for miniaturized fiber-based optics and photonics packaging.”

June 1: Nexa3D’s Zero-Waste, High-Throughput QLS Technology

An hour later on the 1st, at  11 am EST (8 am PST), Nexa3D will discuss “Zero-Waste, High-Throughput Manufacturing with QLS” in a live webinar. John Calhoun, Director of QLS Business Development, and Lewis Simms, Head of Industrial Product Marketing, will have an insightful discussion about sustainability and high-volume manufacturing with the company’s QLS technologies. Attendees will learn the barriers to sustainability with SLS and other powder bed processes, and how QLS and printers work together to deliver a quality, sustainable SLS solution for high-throughput 3D printing. Plus, there will be case studies available about using QLS to turn waste powder from MJF into resilient printed parts.

“SLS continues to reign supreme as the preferred additive manufacturing technology for low-volume manufacturing of complex components. As more and more manufacturers turn to this technology to solve production needs and supply chain woes, important questions emerge—How sustainable is this process? How effective is this process for higher-volume manufacturing?”
