Oceanology International: Additive Manufacturing Solutions for Marine Autonomy

Two years ago, Arc Additive was founded with a clear ambition: not to experiment with metal 3D printing, but to industrialise it.  It’s delivery day at Arc Additive, with a new system arriving from Fronius UK  , another step in building the robust, repeatable, production-ready WAAM capability needed for real-world manufacturing at scale. This system’s being integrated into our facility to expand capacity and maintain momentum while our bespoke Arc Additive open-architecture WAAM cell arrives next month. Now on to the real industrial scaling. Industrialising metal 3D printing means hard engineering, disciplined process control, and partners who understand production reality, not hype. Watch this space as there is quite a lot coming 🔜 #ArcAdditive #WAAM #Metal3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #IndustrialManufacturing #AdvancedManufacturing #Fronius

Practically unlimited opportunities: Metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies offer maximum freedom of design and production meaning a paradigm change to design-driven manufacturing possible anywhere in the world. In recent years industrial 3D printing has shifted from prototyping to production enabling not only innovative part designs but also innovative business models. Both can change an entire industry. This webinar provides an overview of the different metal AM technologies, their strengths and weaknesses plus insights on their suitability for production. https://lnkd.in/d5bBEEZ

How can your organisation approach Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the best way possible? The simplest answer is to embrace additive manufacturing as a massive opportunity for growth instead of a challenge that needs to be addressed. After all, the goal of any industrial 3D Printing initiative shouldn’t be to “catch up” to competitors that may already be using additive manufacturing. The goal is to become an innovator in your space - the leader that your competitors are scrambling after. https://lnkd.in/d8K8rET

If Hall 7.1 of TCT Asia & TCT Shenzhen showed what metal AM looks like when a market is fully committed, Hall 8.1 showed what happens when polymer 3D printing meets consumer scale and starts operating by its own rules. 3D printed shoes dominating the floor, FDM machines pushing 1000 mm/s, and beyond polymer 3D printing, companies like FibreSeek, Lithoz, NatureWorks, L3AD, etc. each signalling something meaningful about where additive manufacturing is heading in the region. This video 👇  is a walkthrough of what we saw in Hall 8.1. Because the codes of this market only reveal themselves when you are standing inside them. 📖 Read more in this article → https://lnkd.in/eHGGhj_Y

🚀 SLA Resin Battle – Which one survives the impact? We produced two mallet tips using SLA 3D printing technology and put them through real stress tests. ⚡ Aluminum bar hit 🧱 Brick impact test 🔬 Same design, different resin, real results.   Not all resins behave the same and for functional parts, the right material makes all the difference.   At InspireTech, we don’t guess. We test. We break. We improve. 🎥 Watch the comparison and see which resin wins.  Formlabs #SLA #3DPrinting #MaterialTesting #Engineering #AdditiveManufacturing #Inspiretech #Innovation #FunctionalParts

Technical data sheets and specifications are useful… but they rarely tell the whole story. When it comes to engineering-grade resins for end-use parts, what truly matters is how the material behaves in real conditions: durability, impact resistance, and long-term reliability. This is why we created this short test video. A simple comparison to demonstrate one key property we often look for in functional resin parts: shock absorption and durability. In this test, you can see the behavior of Durable Resin from Formlabs in action. If you want to explore the material further or simply see the real print quality, feel free to reach out.

The era of 3D printing for "just prototypes" is over. As Additive Manufacturing matures, more manufacturers are moving past traditional limitations to embrace high-volume, end-use production. We recently collaborated with VoxelMatters on a technical deep dive into advancements in machine repeatability and the new economics of serial AM. This research served as the starting point for our upcoming webinar, where we will break down the roadmap for moving from single parts to high-volume manufacturing.

3D printing is one of the most exciting emerging industries today! What started as a prototyping tool is rapidly becoming a platform for solving complex challenges and opportunities of sustainable production. I’ll be sharing some of these perspectives at dicussion pannel moderated by Maritime & Offshore NL, representing Royal3D the 26th March in Roterdam. Excited to discuss how additive manufacturing is evolving from a niche technology into a real industrial solution. https://lnkd.in/e2igG_7T #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #FutureOfManufacturing

In the fast-paced realm of packaging, accuracy and flexibility are paramount. This custom-made starwheel was crafted for a packaging line using an UltiMaker 3D printer, yielding remarkable results! The starwheel plays a crucial role in packaging lines, ensuring products move smoothly and precisely through different stages of the process. Traditionally, producing a starwheel involves extended lead times and significant expenses, particularly when customization is necessary. This initiative not only underscores the potential of 3D printing in industrial settings but also illustrates how innovation can address real-world challenges. The success of this starwheel project exemplifies how additive manufacturing is revolutionizing conventional processes across various industries. Have you explored similar approaches in your field? Let's discuss how we can expand the limits of what's achievable! Application: Starwheel Material: UltiMaker PET CF Laser engraver: LaserPecker LP2 Key requirements: Abrasion resistance, dimensional stability Status: Success!

Excited to be connecting with #3Dprinting friends and frenemies at AMUG (Additive Manufacturing Users Group) ;o) 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eE5KZfVN Come visit FibreSeek at the Startup LaunchPad 🚀 For decades, FDM 3D printing has been the go-to technology for makers, engineers, and educators looking to quickly prototype ideas. But while the speed and accessibility of fused deposition modeling transformed design workflows, its limitations are equally well-known: parts are often brittle, lack strength, and simply can’t withstand the stresses of real-world use. The launch of FibreSeeker 3 represents an important breakthrough—integrating Continuous Fibre Co-extrusion (CFC) into a compact, easy-to-use, consumer-accessible system starting from just $2,899** while CF spool cost $49,- This isn’t just another incremental improvement in 3D printing. It’s a redefinition of what desktop additive manufacturing can achieve. https://lnkd.in/ebC_C7f7 • #3Dprinting • #AdditiveManufacturing • tuan@fibreseek3d.com • https://lnkd.in/eQqzhrPU • Like 👍 what you see ► Hit the Bell 🔔 to follow me.  P.S.
