8 Cool 3D Printed Parts From Formnext 2023 | The Cool Parts Show #65

The latest installment of Formnext, the annual expo for additive manufacturing, was notable for the advance of new industrial 3D printing technologies as well as the expanded prominence of established options such as large-format robot 3D printing - and developments such as these figured into 3D printed part examples found at the show. Pete Zelinski and Stephanie Hendrixson traveled to Frankfurt, Germany, to cover Formnext, and here is part of what they saw: eight of the coolest parts from Formnext 2023.

Thanks for watching! While we love all our cool parts equally, is there one that stood out to you? If you were at Formnext 2023, let us know what other "cool parts" you may have seen at the show!

Way to go Conflux Technology, the cold plate is superb 😃💪🏼

[@amadine770]

Quite impressive I must say. Waiting for the next breakthrough.

Some of my favorites were: displayed at 3d Systems- Carbon Capture Condenser, Heat Exchanger with Implicit Modeling, Carbon Capture Heat Exchanger, CERN Cooling Bar, Gas Mixer With Active Cooling; at nTop- EGR Cooler, Semiconductor Chiller; at Farsoon Technologies Underwater Vehicle Chiller, In-Line Tube and Shell Heat Exchanger, Circular Heat Radiator; Drill Heads and Ta-10W component at BLT, Air Hydrogen Micromixer at GE Additive, Fine Boring Tool at KENionic, products at Oechsler, NiCoMoTiAl test sample and Multi-Material Rocket Nozzle at a Korean company, DLR Scout Rover for Space Research at pro beam, Hybird Stator and Heat Exchanger at Aconity 3D, Copper-Nickel rocket nozzle. And I also saw the Helmet Pads at General Lattice featured on the cool parts show, and Carpenter Additive as well. And I was happily surprised seeing ultrasonic and Titanium chip-pulverizer based powder production solutions, liquid metal infiltration on additively manufactured structure, and constructions at Construction 3D.

We should have compared notes with you before filming! This is a thorough and varied list, although it looks like heat exchangers and rocket nozzles are of particular interest to you. The company you're thinking of with the multimaterial rocket nozzle is likely InssTek out of South Korea. Thanks for sharing and watching. Stay cool!

@@AdditiveManufacturing I see, thanks! I came to know about FormNext in September when I was watching an earlier episode of the show, thanks to you guys!

I have one through-body-coolant tool in my CNC lathe. I would like to have all tools like this but the foreman says they are too expensive. That means I have to use copper pipes like a caveman. There are often problems with those.

[@PeirotheFirescare]

The Video today was verry cool thank you for sharing I am sad I could not be there. So many awsome ideas, I love the bag conector thats such a good Idea. The mother of my girlfriend hat many problem with that. I wish I could work in 3D Printing again.

[@3-der251]

Is anybody making slicing software that will allow connecting a print head to any 6-axis or SCARA robot?

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

Various companies are working on this. One we have reported on is Adaxis: www.additivemanufacturing.media/articles/this-company-is-developing-software-to-make-any-industrial-robot-into-a-3d-printer
