Added Scientific Launches JetForge Core for Inkjet 3D Printing
Added Scientific, a spinout from the University of Nottingham, was founded by Ricky Wildman, Phill Dickens, Christopher Tuck, and Richard Hague to deliver on R&D projects in 3D printing. Over the years, the firm has done a lot of material jetting and binder jetting research in many different fields. The company has also made a line of products, starting with a Dimatix Driver Board that let people expand the use of their Dimatix inkjet systems. Then, they had a kit that turned your Meyer Burger PixDRO LP50 into a binder jetting machine. Next, they released a JetForge driver board, which let you put a Xaar 128/Irix printhead on an FDM printer to make an extremely low-cost inkjet setup. Then, the company introduced the Blade. Each one contains a print head, a driverboard, and the material system, which means you can quickly add any inkjet head to your motion stage, or swap printheads quickly. Added Scientific now makes Blades for Ricoh, Dimatic, Xaar, and other inkjet heads.
