<div>
 <p>Dutch company CEAD, specializing in robotic additive manufacturing, has introduced an industrial large-format 3D printer named Flexcube at the Formnext 2024 expo in Germany. The all-in-one printer is integrated with milling capabilities and includes a modular design for expansion up to 12 m, a Siemens Sinumerik ONE CNC controller for precise printing, and a three-plus-one axis system for 45-degree printing. Ready to operate continuously, the device comes fully assembled in one container with a requirement of 2.5 m ceiling height.</p>
 <p>Located in the Netherlands, CEAD offers innovative robotic 3D printing solutions in addition to components such as standalone extruders and printing beds for businesses and individuals to create their own industrial large-format 3D printers. The company's pellet extruders, which can be installed on existing systems like robots, gantry systems, and CNC equipment, come with a base unit that regulates temperature, extrusion speed, and automatic material transport. CEAD's print bed can be utilized for all thermoplastic printing materials. </p>

 <p>DyeMansion, a company specializing in post-processing for polymer 3D printing, has unveiled three new products at the Formnext 2024 trade fair in Germany. These are: the Powershot X post-processing system, the updated DM60 Reservoir dyeing system, and the Automotive ColorsX dye collection.</p>
 <p>The Powershot X system provides both cleaning and surfacing solutions for parts produced using SLS, SAF, MJF, or HSS technologies. It allows users to choose between cleaning, surfacing, or a mix of the two. The revamped DM60 Reservoir is equipped with inbuilt sensors for accurate water tracking, which enables users to reuse dyeing water up to 12 times. DyeMansion claims these enhancements to the DM60 Reservoir can cut costs of dyeing by more than half and decrease process times by as much as 30%. The Auto ColorsX dye set offers better UV and heat resistance, with grey scale values that are up to four times higher.</p>
