Hewlett-Packard (HP), which has the pride of inventing inkjet technology and DeskJet printer, plans to shut down some of its manufacturing facilities to reduce expenses and focus on core products as the printer industry matures because of fewer fresh inventions.
3D printing is a relatively new technology. It is considered as the physical version of a CAD file. The foundry, construction and automotive industries welcomes the 3D printing technology with open arms as this proves to make their process smooth, efficient and modernized and increases the speed in product development.
They can use the 3D printers to print the CAD designed 3D models directly from a CAD file in order to show a finished product to the client before the work has begun. Rapid prototyping and Custom3D offers a fast professional, beneficial and confidential printing service. This Custom3D also provides affordable patent and design protection 3D printing services to the Institute of Inventors and Innovators. This technology is sure to reduce their massive time, labor and cost.
Connex500, a rapid prototyping 3D printing system of Objet Geometries Ltd, has the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. The system thus enables the manufacture of 3-D parts using several different materials at
the same time. In addition, the system allows users to create composite materials that have pre-set combinations of mechanical properties.
Canadian Printer is once again positioning for the future, and evolving as a brand to reflect the changing industry it serves, with a view to not only grow its audience online but by continuing to serve our constituency with valuable editorial coverage. The name will remain, as will the integrity and values that exist within the trusted and respected Canadian Printer brand.
The new Canadian Printer will publish online and the quarterly issues of the magazine will cease immediately. Our bi-weekly e-newsletter will continue as well as our annual event, “Print in the Mix.” Ultimately, we will publish an annual magazine that highlights the best in print innovation for the year.
The new editorial coverage will focus on print innovation and its intrinsic collaborative process. It will celebrate excellence in print execution and by nature, will be closely aligned with Marketing magazine’s online brand, www.marketingmag.ca. Stay tuned: We will soon unveil the new look of Canadian Printer.
