Next Wednesday, February 20, we will hold the official presentation of the JCR3D brand in the UK, where we will also hold a free registration seminar on "Applications in industrial maintenance and tooling with the JCR3D printer". In this event, organized jointly with our UK distributor -3D GBIRE-, attendees can learn about all the features of JCR3D, large format smart printers designed for the industry. In addition, we will explain how to obtain ROI from large format 3D printing, applications of fused deposition modeling (FFF) in industry and case studies. Below, you can find more information about the JCR3D printers and all event information. Large format industrial smart printers JCR3D printers include functions to maximize efficiency from the start...

One of the aspects in the manufacturing world that 3D printing is revolutionising is industrial design. One of the most complex problems in product design is the difficulty of obtaining feedback and information on use in the early stages of the design. Additive manufacturing is solving this problem. In addition to this, there are other limits in product design that 3D printing is helping to break through. In this article, we will look at some of them. How does 3D printing facilitate product design? Below, we will look at 3 key aspects in which 3D printing facilitates product design. Faster prototyping Until less than...

Choosing a large-format 3D printer is easy once you know the key specifications to take into account. Let’s review what aspects to consider when choosing your 3D printer for professional use. Criteria for choosing a large-format 3D printer To choose a large-format 3D printer for industrial use, the first step is deciding on the basic aspects: size, technology, and available budget. Our analysis centres on criteria for choosing large-format 3D printers with FFF technology (FDM), which are specially recommended for sectors such as automotion, aeronautics, and metal/mechanics for manufacturing tools, final pieces, and quick prototyping. Once we understand the basic aspects, we should make...

When you think of 3D printing, a very advanced technology that may be costly to businesses still comes to mind. However, this idea is changing. Many companies are adopting an additive manufacturing or 3D printing system as part of their processes, whether for making prototypes or final products or for manufacturing devices or tools to use in the production process (tooling). The reason behind this is in large part because additive manufacturing helps reduce production and manufacturing costs. How can 3D printing reduce production costs? 3D printing allows companies to save throughout the entire manufacturing process. Additive manufacturing can be a way to...

Selecting the right materials for 3D printing is key to the success of its final product. Depending on what the printed piece is going to be used for (design verification, functional testing, functionality with mechanical and thermal requirements, etc.), one type of material or another will be chosen. Criteria to consider when choosing materials for FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) Choosing the most suitable material from the variety of materials on the market may sometimes seem difficult. To find the most appropriate material for each application, it is important that you ask yourself the right questions from the beginning. Is high mechanical performance required...

JCR 3D Smart Printers feature the JCR Manager 3D smart printing software, which automatically detects and corrects errors in files and verifies printing configuration. This solves 80% of the typical incidents that arise when working with FFF or FDM technology (such as errors in file design, errors in generating G-Code files, blockages, wearing of the extruder, and more). In this article, we are going to go over the noteworthy functions of the JCR Manager software that allow you to maximise productivity, reduce equipment maintenance, and eliminate human errors in the 3D design and printing phase. JCR Manager - 3D smart printing software In...

From 13 to 16 November, the 4th edition of Formnext will be held in Frankfurt. Formnext is one of the foremost international events for getting to know first-hand the latest trends and novelties in the additive manufacturing industry. Formnext brings together world leaders in 3D printing and is a key event for learning about the most recent developments in the next generation of manufacturing technology. This year, the JCR 3D team will present our new series of large-format smart printers designed for industry: JCR 600 and JCR 1000. Smart printers Our industrial 3D printers include smart printer capabilities to ensure efficiency from the very...
