Cutting-edge Australian 3D printing building and construction company, Luyten, has launched the world's largest mobile 3D smart AI-powered concrete printer for the building and construction industry. Aptly titled, the Platypus X12, to reflect its Australian design and tech heritage, the printer is already being hailed a global success story as construction firms across the world place orders to accelerate build schedules and revolutionise delivery capabilities. The newly launched printer is the first of its kind in Australia, the southern hemisphere and the largest worldwide. The Luyten Platypus series is the world’s leading range of 3D concrete printers and the ultimate field and factory-ready printing system for high-quality finished products and architectural designs that demand something more. According to Ahmed Mahil, cofounder and CEO of Luyten, the all-new Luyten Platypus X12 is built with high mobility and accuracy in mind and is big enough to build large-scale structures in one go. “It is the most sophisticated mobile 3D concrete printer in the world. In designing the printer, we focused on cutting-edge tech and useability to ensure the printer…

The new SPEE3D Phaser nozzle uses compressed air or nitrogen to deposit material four times faster than the speed of sound at much higher energy. This process achieves high particle velocity to enable more deformation of particles during the deposition process. As a result, harder materials can be made including stainless steel, titanium, high-strength aluminium and nickel-based carbides. These materials are in addition to our existing various copper, aluminium bronze and aluminium materials. “The SPEE3D PHASER nozzle is revolutionary because anyone can print what’s considered ‘hardier’ materials, and without having to rely on helium to cold spray these materials like other nozzles,” said CTO Steven Camilleri. “With supply chain issues continuing to delay parts for industries such as space, defense, auto racing and maritime, the Phaser nozzle can create these parts in just minutes to withstand severe conditions, high stress, immense shock loads and abrasive environments.” SPEE3D’s cold spray metal 3D printers are the world’s fastest, most robust, deployable additive solution to manufacture full-density, solid metal parts in just…

Additive Assurance, a leader in quality assurance for additive manufacturing, today announced the successful completion of a $4.1m funding round as it pushes forward with its international expansion plan. The round was led by Significant Capital Ventures (SCV) and supported by Hostplus alongside existing shareholders IP Group Australia and Monash Investment Holdings. The new investment will support growth initiatives, including the establishment of an Additive Manufacturing quality assurance centre of excellence at its Melbourne headquarters, and the expansion of research and development and international business development teams. Additive Assurance has developed AMiRIS, a world-leading solution for quality assurance of 3D-printed metal parts, based on technology originally developed at Monash University. AMiRIS allows manufacturers to ensure the structural integrity of components as they are being made and correct any anomalies when they occur. Additive Assurance is working with leading global customers in the aerospace and advanced manufacturing industries to enable the use of 3D-printed parts in serial production. “We are delighted to receive the support of SCV and existing investors to underpin our continued expansion,” said Marten Jurg, co-founder and CEO of Additive…
