The heavy civil construction sector (e.g. highway road construction, mass excavation) is literally heavy-handed when it comes to engineering and manufacturing new components. The bottleneck is that it takes an eternity with conventional methods to materialize these parts.
When it comes to large-format 3D printing, the possibilities are vast. Whether you need rapid prototyping or custom manufacturing of end-use parts, large-format printing is revolutionizing industries like aerospace, automotive, construction and more. But with so many printers, materials and technologies to choose from, it can be overwhelming to select the right platform for your business. At EXBuild, we’ve done our research, carefully selecting top-tier technologies that deliver exceptional results for a wide range of applications.
In the ever-evolving automotive industry, the race to innovate has never been more critical. Among the tools driving this innovation forward, BigRep 3D printers have emerged as game-changers, offering unmatched capabilities in design, prototyping and production. Let's explore some real-world examples of how BigRep 3D printers are transforming the automotive landscape.
Meltio has launched the Meltio Robot Cell, a turn-key metal 3D printing solution to boost the performance of industrial robotic arms in a safer, more reliable, and highly accurate way by controlling the entire process including its recently launched slicing software, Meltio Space.
Subtractive manufacturing (computer numerical control, or CNC machining) has been one of the most preeminent manufacturing methods for the past several decades. Introduced in the 1940’s, subtractive manufacturing was used as a tool to machine highly complex parts that require optimal precision. Essentially, the process involves subtracting or cutting from a block of material to create an end product. Today, subtractive manufacturing comes in many different forms (milling, turning, laser cutting, wire EDM, and carving) and is used for a wide variety of prototyping, production and assembly line applications.
The BigRep PRO is an industrial large-format 3D Printer to support your company's development and production. Since the PRO launched in 2018, the BigRep R&D team has mainly focused on making this machine better by listening to what the customers wanted.
Australian Bell turns to FEA software and 3D printing to bring bell production into the 21st century.
The musical chimes and resounding gongs of bells have inspired and enchanted people for millennia; whether accompanying religious and spiritual ceremonies, used for communication or played for musical purposes. The process of making bells—known as bellfounding—is almost as captivating as the sounds emitted from the percussion instruments themselves.
Many workshops rely on CNC machining as the backbone of their production processes. However, with the rise of additive manufacturing, more and more companies think about including 3D printing into the workflow or even replacing their CNC machines. Let us give you an overview of what 3D printing can do for you, and how you can best combine both processes.
Recently, a 3D printed house went on sale in New York, first of its kind. Pretty remarkable, but it’s still considered a novelty and must overcome several barriers before successful market adoption.
The additive manufacturing industry is advancing at an incredible pace and technology improvements, material capabilities, use cases, competitors and adoption are at an all-time high with no signs of slowing.
