Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colourless organic thermoplastic polymer in the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, used in engineering applications. It was invented in November 1978 [2] and brought to market in the early 1980s by part of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), the PEEK division was acquired through a management buyout, giving rise to Victrex PLC.
This is a list of notable manufacturers of 3D printers. 3D printers are a type of robots that are able to print 3D models using successive layers of raw materials. 0–9 3D makeR Technologies – Barranquilla, Colombia
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed by either company. [17] In January 2015, 3D Systems acquired the 3D printer manufacturer botObjects, the first company to commercialize a full-color printer using the fused filament fabrication technique. [18] botObjects was founded by Martin Warner and Mike Duma (CTO).
The car was manufactured using a Large Scale 3D Printer developed by ORNL and Cincinnati Inc. The car took just 44 hours to print during the 2014 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, Illinois. The printing was followed by three days of milling and assembling, with the completed car first test-driven on September 13, 2014.
Carbon offers several varieties of hardware and software that use digital light synthesis, a technique developed by the company. 3D printer models are differentiated by the size of the build area. They are connected to the cloud to allow for predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and over-the-air software updates. The company has made three ...
Z Corporation (commonly abbreviated Z Corp.) is a company that makes 3D printing and scanning technologies.It was founded in December 1994 by Marina Hatsopoulos, Walter Bornhorst, James Bredt and Tim Anderson, based on a technology developed at MIT under the direction of Professor Ely Sachs.
Makerbot has merged [44] with Ultimaker, who now hosts the online community Thingiverse, where users can upload 3D printable files, document designs, and collaborate 3D printing projects and on open source hardware. The site is a collaborative repository for design files used in 3D printing, laser cutting and other DIY manufacturing processes.
