…importance of automated post-processing for industrial applications of 3D printing/additive manufacturing. The 3D printed production process chain often consists of a series of unconnected digital manufacturing processes, which require manual intervention that can slow down production rates and add costs. Folgar will highlight how AMT’s BLAST process intersects material science, hardware engineering and process automation as a solution to these challenges. The BLAST process is at the heart of the PostPro3D portfolio of hardware that AMT says offers performance and aesthetic enhancement for 3D-printed parts for mass production applications. Folgar will also introduce the PostPro3DColor and PostPro3DMini systems, which visitors…

…ESD, a new high-strength composite material for the electronics manufacturing industry. This year, many industries have leveraged additive manufacturing to withstand supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19. Use of this technology for the production of electronics, however, has been limited due to barriers. Electronics manufacturers must use materials that meet electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety requirements to avoid damaging a product or critical component during production. Now, with the launch of Onyx ESD, electronics manufacturers can utilized additive manufacturing. This material is a high-performance static-dissipative version of Markforged’s flagship composite base material Onyx, a micro carbon fiber-filled nylon that yields accurate…
