Arburg is getting out of additive manufacturing: Machinery Minutes

On this week’s Machinery Minutes podcast:  Arburg is leaving the additive manufacturing market, 12 years after introducing the Freeformer series of 3D printers.  Dan Weissmann played key roles during the evolution of plastic beverage containers as well as the plastic closure for hot-fill packaging.  At the K Show next month, KraussMaffei is showing how to use its ColorForm technology to apply a thin polyurethane surface directly to thermoplastic components within an injection mold. The product is an automotive headlight with a PU protective cover.
