Essentium Inc. announces the second in a series of findings from independent global research on the current and future use of industrial 3D printing. The survey found that investments in 3D printing at an industrial-scale are paying off, with companies reporting benefits, including high part performance (46%), cost reduction (46%), and speed to part (45%). Changes over the last year showed 3D printing's relevance in manufacturing, according to Essentium. The AM industry stepped in to make quantities of supplies at scale to keep assembly lines moving. 2021, adds to Essentium, will mark the year that additive at scale transforms manufacturing…

…creating prototypes to a serious alternative for full-scale production? Essentium claims to have goods, touting the results of a recent independent study that shows use of large-scale AM more than doubling over the last year for 70 percent of participating companies. Highlights of the companies’ third annual study also found that the number of companies shifting to AM for full-scale production runs for hundreds, even thousands, of parts has doubled from 7% last year to 14% in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the rise in AM use—companies surveyed said they were using AM processes to make quantities of supplies…

Essentium, Inc. has launched all-in-one 3D printing adhesives specifically tailored for Essentium’s portfolio of materials and the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSETM) 3D Printing Platform, providing manufacturers with an adhesion solution for industrial-scale 3D printing. Essentium worked with Magigoo, a provider of 3D printing bed adhesive solutions, to improve the bed-adhesion of different engineering-grade polymers. The Essentium 3D Printing Bed Adhesives—powered by Magigoo—are designed to work with heated beds. The adhesives stick the print firmly in place while printing and then ‘magically’ release the print once the bed has cooled. This allows for printing without needing to use rafts, tapes,…
