- In October 2023, EOS launched its Digital Foam Architects network, designed to accelerate the development and additive manufacturing (AM) of consumer, medical and industrial products featuring Digital Foam applications. Digital Foam is not a product, rather it is an approach to 3D printing foam-like products. It will provide a new direction to the company in 3D printing materials
- In June 2023, CRP Technology launched Windform XT 2.0 IMG, the first injection molding material made entirely from recycled Windform XT 2.0 3D printing materials. This carbon fiber-reinforced nylon PA12 composite supports the market’s shift toward sustainable manufacturing by enabling a seamless transition from prototyping to mass production while lowering environmental impact. The innovation strengthens the 3D printing materials market by aligning with growing demand for eco-friendly, high-performance solutions in industrial applications
- In April 2023, Stratasys completed the acquisition of Covestro’s additive manufacturing materials business, adding approximately 60 advanced materials and a strong IP portfolio to its offerings. This move significantly enhances Stratasys’ position in the 3D printing materials market by broadening its reach in sectors such as aerospace and healthcare. The acquisition boosts innovation capacity, particularly in stereolithography and powder bed fusion technologies, thereby accelerating market growth and competitive differentiation
- In February 2023, Bauer Hockey, the global leader in hockey equipment innovation, and industrial 3D printing industry pioneer and market leader, EOS, have collaborated to incorporate additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) into Bauer’s MyBauer custom equipment program. EOS and its patented Digital Foam approach to printing polymers gave Bauer a distinct advantage. It will strengthen the market presence for EOS in the 3D printing materials market
