The new Cura 5.8 beta release introduces new settings that will help make Z seams look better than ever. Plus, the full Method series is now supported in Cura, thanks to a new printer profile for the UltiMaker Method and a bunch of new material profiles for the whole Method series, including new PLA and PVA! See what other updates 5.8 includes and download the latest version today! https://lnkd.in/ewjHSvQS

These innovative 3D printed grippers are typically used in food and packaging. Packaging geometries can change frequently, requiring grippers to be quickly adapted – sometimes across the entire production line. These grippers showcase the benefits of dual extrusion, combining flexible TPU and rigid PPS CF. This means the end-of-arm tooling will withstand long-term use, while also protecting the product during transportation. Another huge advantage of PPS CF is that, as the TPU wears down, operators can set a maintenance schedule for when the component needs replacing. This means that the component does not simply break and cause an unexpected disruption in the production line.

At Audi Sport GmbH, engineers 3D print custom fixtures that help align parts during installation. For example, this fixture is for pre-assemblying a cooling system. The fixture contains three parts, designed using trinckle fixturemate, which allowed them to quickly and easily create custom fixtures.

Aalto University holds one of the largest 3D print farms in Finland, with 35 UltiMaker printers. Used by students for a variety of coursework, the printers are in use almost 24/7. Students can print a variety of applications, from casting to prototyping, and in a variety of materials, from PLA to TPU to metal. Learn how Aalto University students are leveraging the power of 3D printing. https://lnkd.in/ecKG_ine #highereducation #3Dprinting Maker3D - 3D Print Bureau

Join the UltiMaker APAC team on Wednesday 17 July at 2pm (UTC+9) to learn more about the latest Method XL updates and explore the unique applications that industrial 3D printers can enable. From new materials to key features, experts will share how this 3D printing beast can support industrial applications and more. #additivemanufacturing #industrial #engineering

As soon as you pick up a PPS CF part, you notice that this material is different. Give it a tap and its stiffness and density causes it to vibrate like metal. This metallic sound is also caused by the crystalline structure of PPS, where well-defined molecular arrangements contribute to its distinctive acoustic properties. Listen below👂

While materials, like reinforced PEEK, push the boundaries of 3D printing performance, their high cost and the need for specialized hardware can overshadow the affordability of plastic 3D printing tech. However, Carbon fiber reinforced PPS offers a promising alternative. It delivers metal and PEEK-like performance without the high temperature and cost requirements.
