…the last year.” Materialise has certified machines with Ultimaker, Stratasys, Formlabs and NewPro thus far. “It is use case by use case,” said Dave Flynn, senior business development manager, Materialise. “There are some process limitations that can be used in additive—whether it's sintering or filaments or photopolymers—not unlike injection molding in that some resins are injection moldable, some are not. The number of useful materials has certainly expanded, but we have a long way to go there.” Last year, Materialise announced a partnership with BASF to collaborate on materials. The fact that companies like GE, Siemens, BASF and HP were…

…solve the problem,” explains Eric Mutchler, product manager at Stratasys Direct. “What customers are drifting to now is making changes so the manufacturing method best suited for the part is driven by the design rather than the constraints of traditional manufacturing. Customers are finding the benefit of cost in that way.” Direct Metal Laser Sintering technology delivered greater design freedom for producing this combustion liner for an aerospace application.

…to take advantage of Velo3D’s contract manufacturing partners like Stratasys Direct Manufacturing when scaling up production. Launcher successfully tested the liquid oxygen (LOX) turbopump for its high-performance, closed-cycle liquid rocket engine at NASA’s Stennis Space Center. The company is now working with Velo3D to 3D-print its fuel pump, flight turbine housing parts, and Orbiter pressure vessels. It will make these vessels with the second Velo3D Sapphire metal AM system. “Velo3D really delivered on our turbopump, including its 3D-printed rotating impeller, all of which functioned perfectly the very first time at 30,000 rpm, using the first prototype,” said Haot. The sky's…
