3d systems to accelerate high volume additive manufacturing with acquisition of dp polar gmbh
Rock hill, s.c., aug. 08, 2022 (globe newswire) -- today, 3d systems (nyse:ddd) announced that it has entered an agreement to acquire dp polar gmbh, the german-based designer and manufacturer of the industry's first additive manufacturing system designed for true high-speed mass production of customized components. central to dp polar's patented continuous printing process is a large-scale, segmented, rotating print platform that eliminates the start/stop operations of virtually all additive manufacturing platforms. traditional printers operate on a cartesian coordinate system in which the print head moves sequentially from point to point throughout component production. with dp polar's technology and patented polar coordinate control, the print heads remain stationary above the rotating platform, providing a continuous print process. this approach not only dramatically speeds component production but also minimizes wear and vibration associated with traditional print head motion. with this modular approach, the rotating platform can be mated with a variety of printing technologies and can even accommodate pick-and-place robotic systems that can embed electronics or other features into the body of the component as it is printed. with this acquisition, 3d systems will leverage its industry-leading polymer materials portfolio as well as oqton's software technology to bring true high-speed, mass production additive manufacturing to a breadth of industries including aerospace, automotive, foundries, consumer goods, and healthcare.
