XAAR wins ‘Innovation of the Year’ at 3rd Printing Industry Awards

XAAR has been awarded ‘Innovation of the Year’ at the 3D Printing Industry Awards 2018, which the company has received the honour for its High Laydown Technology for Material Jetting. The technology is at the forefront of the drive to make 3D Printing a mainstream manufacturing process. Voted for by readers of 3D Printing Industry, the awards recognise individuals and enterprises leading the additive manufacturing world. They were announced at a black-tie, gala event at Nuffield Hall in London, UK, on Thursday 17th May, where Xaar were among representatives from more than 60 companies.

By ensuring that all the printhead nozzles fire at the same time, High Laydown (HL) Technology from XAAR offers massively increased material deposition rates compared to standard three-cycle printing operation. This enhances speed and productivity and allows for greater volume production speed in 3D Printing. Additionally, HL Technology allows for printing high viscosity fluids enabling the creation of 3D printed parts with higher part properties than other technologies. The 3D Printing Industry Awards are an annual gathering of the leaders in additive manufacturing. This year voting was up 35 percent on 2017, and the shortlists spanned all areas of the 3D Printing ecosystem – from medical, aerospace, and creative applications to 3D scanning, software and materials.
