Additive Insight

On this this episode of Additive Insight, TCT Deputy Group Editor Laura Griffiths speaks to Xavier Martínez Faneca, CEO of Barcelona-based 3D printing company BCN3D.

BCN3D is manufacturer of polymer extrusion-based desktop 3D printers, which spun out of the Polytechnic university of Catalonia. From automotive to fashion, the company is said to have an install base of around 5,000 machines employed by a wide range of professional and industrial users, and just recently raised €2.8 million in funding to expand its 3D printing hardware and materials portfolio.

On this episode Faneca discusses BCN3D’s origins in the RepRap movement, its unique IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder) technology and the latest iterations of its Sigma and Epsilon family of 3D printers.

On the latest episode of our Additive Insight podcast, Deputy Group Editor Laura Griffiths speaks to Sherry Handel, Executive Director at the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA).

The AMGTA is a global non-profit organisation which was setup in November last year to promote the green benefits of additive manufacturing in order to accelerate the adoption of the technology.

Throughout the conversation we discuss the AMGTA’s mission, the sustainability challenges and opportunities facing 3D printing, and how the mere existence of a dedicated association like this speaks to the maturity level of the industry as a whole.
