Additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) companies are competing fiercely to develop more sophisticated machines to meet the needs of a wider range of industries.

 

The competition— as detailed in a previous article —unfolds along several dimensions: speed, precision, the ability to handle different materials, to print larger parts, to operate in different environments.

 

This technological race makes 3D printing an increasingly powerful and versatile solution. This in turn keeps grabbing the attention of more and more manufacturers, expanding the market at a rapid pace. The Israeli tech firm XJet has developed a unique technology—NanoParticle Jetting—that allows its 3D printers to handle both metals and ceramics with an extremely high degree of accuracy and some of the highest densities on the market. Handling both metals and ceramics with […]
