With Ultrafuse 316L, BASF 3D Printing Solutions launches a metal-polymer composite for fused filament fabrication (FFF). It enables the safe, simple, and cost-efficient production of fully metal parts for prototypes, metal tooling and functional metal parts in 3D printing, according to the company. After the subsequent industry-standard debinding and sintering, the final 3D printed part is 316L stainless steel. FFF refers to a 3D printing process in which parts are built up layer by layer from moldable material. Ultrafuse 316L, a metal filament with polymer content, uses the same process; first, a suitable 3D printer builds a part layer-by-layer, with…

…grand opening included Siemens for software and factory processes; BASF and GKN for materials; Materialise and ZiggZagg for services; and Avid Product Development for design optimization. Disrupting Manufacturing Business Models Business model disruption was as much of a theme as any particular technology or partnership. “We are in this business to impact how manufacturing affects the whole business model,” says Schell. An example can be found in orthodontics. First Invisalign (a 3D Systems customer) used 3D printing to create custom braces sold through orthodontic offices, then SmileDirectClub (an HP customer) moved to a home delivery model, bypassing clinics altogether.

…solution for production 3D manufacturing. The printing system counts BASF, Materialise and Siemens as strategic partners, creating what HP calls “a new global community of proven large-scale 3D printed parts providers.” The printer is the latest refinement of HP’s work in Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) printing technology, which prints on a line-by-line basis. HP says the method is inspired by its long history of 2D wide format printing, but relies on a variety of innovations for 3D. HP says MJF allows for faster cooling and increased automation of post-processing compared to selective laser sintering (SLS). MJF allows almost 90% of…
