PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE AUGUST 2015

Dear readers: We have heard this a lot: the industry is going through changes and times are tough in this ever-competitive market. We search for the most effective business model in an effort to shift our growth from static to dynamic, where static is often the norm faced by many small- and medium-sized firms.

I was listening to Tedtalk radio the other day. The topic was Wikipedia, where millions and millions people contribute their knowledge to this Internet platform for the benefit all. And for FREE! The Wikipedia model is proof that a shared economy can work—taking advantage of nearby resources readily available. This has apparently propelled many successful new businesses, such as Uber and Airbnb.

These companies take advantage of shared resources and, as I read recently, "collaborative production, using network technology to produce goods and services that only work when they are free, or shared," Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Exceptional organizations have a special ability for spotting and identifying opportunities that they can take advantage of, and these organizations tend to be open-minded. These openminded organizations are able to convert a disadvantage into an advantage. I hope your organization can do the same. Be daring, think outside the box and venture out to find your way to growth.

In this issue, we cover a lot about 3D printing. You will see many aspects of 3D printing and, hopefully, find new ways to explore this potentially huge growth market.

According to analyst Canalys, 3D printers and associated materials and services will bulge globally from $3.3 billion in 2014 to 5.2 billion this year, before swelling to $20.2 billion by 2019.

Among our other features, we have the following articles on this topic: "3 Stocks to Watch in 3D Printing" by Steve Heller and "Court to Decide Key Question on Patentability of 3D Digital Models" by John Hornick. We hope you will take advantage of this newly emerging industry and seriously consider to delving into it.

Happy reading,

Ms. Sunny Sun Publisher sunny@rechargeasia.com

Review from Amazon: World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea—the power of our mindset.

Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success— but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals—personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

Apps Are Changing Business Models

China RFID Leverages Internet of Things

There are 1.3 million apps available for download on Android smartphones alone, and these are by no means the only apps out there. In fact, apps are turning from an accessory into a necessity, writes Loni Stark, senior director of Adobe’s strategy and product marketing unit.

Wireless networking is rapidly pervading society, not least in China, where allied topic RFID is lifting off very rapidly.

It follows the world's largest RFID order, that for National ID cards in China, as well as other big orders such as library tagging in three cities dwarfing all other library tagging in the world. The unique new IDTechEx report RFID in China 2015-2025 reveals that the Chinese RFID market will jump to around $4.3 billion in 2025, powered by sales into the transportation/automotive and financial/security/safety sectors. All that is predominately at 13.56 MHz "HF" in both numbers and market value, in contrast the UHF being very important for RFID in the Americas.

Although the vast majority of apps are downloaded but not used, they are definitely making using various products easier and more pleasant. They are changing user experiences and are turning into something consumers look for when deciding which product to buy. According to Stark, using apps only as a way of pushing online sales is just tapping their considerable potential, a mistake that needs to be fixed. Apps, Stark suggests, are likely to become the major difference between products. She uses Apple’s smart watch as an example: unlike current smart watches, which are mainly used for fitness tracking because they don’t have that many apps, the Apple watch is likely to soon account for the majority of wearable tech sales because it comes with as many as 14 apps through which the wearer can control anything from their emails to their TV. This is what the Internet of Things is all about.

People, says Stark, want one of two things from a mobile app: either to be able to use a product they already have in new, innovative ways, or to be able to do something completely new, something they weren’t able to do before at all. Apps simplify complex products. Any company that successfully provides these two to its customers will be a success.

IoT To Create $4 Trn in Economic Value A new report by McKinsey forecasts that the Internet of Things will create economic value to the tune of at least $3.9 trillion over the next decade. The upper end of the scale totals $11.1 trillion, but this would only happen if a number of problems are resolved.

One such problem is interoperability. It could come to account for 40% of the overall economic value the IoT creates if it comes to be. Interoperability refers to the ability of different connected devices from different providers to communicate among themselves and share data. A single unified standard for interoperability is needed for it to create this value but so far it has not been created.

Another issue is data collection and processing, says McKinsey, something that is not being done today. The data generated and exchanged by Internet of Things devices can have a huge impact in terms of economic value, but it is not being fully exploited. If this changes, then the chances for this huge economic impact will be improved.

Leading analyst on the project, Dr Xiaoxi He, a Chinese national, says, "HF technology was developed much earlier in China compared to UHF technology, and now the Chinese companies have mastered the core technologies in HF chip design. HF RFID covers a wide range of government-led projects including National Identification cards, transit cards, new bank cards with higher security requirements, passports and subway and bus tickets.

UHF tags can be read at a longer distance and the cost is lower than with HF tags. The shipment of UHF tags exceeded that of HF tags for the first time in 2012.

The annual shipment of UHF tags in China is very similar to that of HF tags. However, for the real applications in China, HF tags take 80% of the total value while the others (including UHF, LF and microwave) take the other 20%.

That is because a large amount of UHF tags manufactured by market-oriented companies are for export. There are about 300 million UHF tags/cards used annually in China, including 50 million tags/cards for the smart meter project of the national electricity grid application and 20 million for clothing projects of the People's Liberation Army".

All this makes China more like Europe in RFID, though with faster growth, not least in active RFID, where the tag has an on-board power source such as a battery to increase functionality. Allied to this is NFC with mobile phones interrogating tags at HF. Much work in both China and Europe now forms part of the vision for the Internet of Things beyond the narrow vision of IP addressed microprocessor nodes with many sensors and transceiver.

For example, Golden Spring Internet of Things in China is a leader in RFID equipment and Shenzhen Marktrace is shifting focus from passive RFID to higher margin active RFID. In the "12-5 Plan for Development of the Internet of Things", the Chinese government has addressed the importance of having its own core chip technologies in UHF and MWF. A special fund for IoT development is being deployed to three Chinese UHF chip companies in 2015.

Canon U.S.A. Ranked #1 in A3 Monochrome Copiers

136th Issue - August 2015

Attorneys Help Brother Defeat National Class Action Lawsuit Partners Layne Melzer and Karen Scott, with Rutan & Tucker, LLP, California’s largest full-service law firm based in Orange County, California, recently achieved a major victory for their client, Brother International Corporation (“BIC”), the distributor of Brother-brand products in the U.S.A. The Federal district court in New Jersey granted a summary judgment in favor of BIC and against all four named plaintiffs and would-be class representatives [Dicuio v.

Brother Int’l Corp., 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 68029 (D.N.J. May 27, 2015)].

This class action lawsuit was filed in 2011 by plaintiffs alleging that all purchasers of certain models of Brother-brand color laser printers were “damaged” by a variety of “inadequately disclosed” design features which, according to plaintiffs, caused the printers to use color toner at a higher rate than consumers might expect and require toner replacement before each cartridge delivered its advertised yield.

According to Gartner's Printer, Copier and MFP Quarterly Statistics Database, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, ranked in the #1 position in both the office copier (A3) category with 28.6 percent of the 2014 U.S. market, and #1 in the total monochrome copier category with 19.9 percent share in the U.S. In addition, the fourth quarter end of year results showed the Company was ranked first in the Monochrome Printer Segment 6 (91+ pages-per-minute [ppm]) and also moved up two positions with 27.9 percent of the Color Printer Segment 5 (70-90 pages-per-minute [ppm]) in the U.S. market for 2014.

“Canon is proud to be ranked by Gartner as a market share leader in several copier and printer categories for 2014,” said Junichi Yoshitake, senior vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “We feel the Company’s market share leadership position is a testament to Canon’s commitment to developing innovative products positioned to serve the needs of the customers in the office and production markets.”

Gartner’s research included analysis of the market share for color and black-andwhite copiers/MFPs with both laser page and page output technology.

The plaintiffs tried to substantiate their claims by reviewing thousands of documents produced by BIC, deposing BIC’s key officers and retaining experts.

The plaintiffs moved to certify a national class suing BIC under New Jersey’s consumer protection, the state where BIC is headquartered.

BIC opposed the motion for class certification and also moved for a summary judgment based on evidence from the plaintiffs’ deposition testimony and data captured by the plaintiffs’ printers. That evidence showed that the plaintiffs’ color toner cartridges had performed as advertised. Brother-brand toner cartridges are advertised as capable of printing a particular number of pages at 5% average toner coverage. This advertising, in turn, is based on testing performed under an industry-standard protocol published by the International Standards Organization.

The District Court agreed that even after years of discovery, plaintiffs had no evidence that Brother-brand printers do not work as advertised. Specifically, there was no evidence that the plaintiffs’ color toner cartridges failed to deliver their advertised page yield. In testing conducted by experts, the Brother-brand color toner cartridges met or exceeded their advertised page yield. The District Court declined to decide the motion for class certification, having already determined that all four proposed class representatives lacked any injury and, consequently, lacked standing to sue.

The plaintiffs presented a variety of theories for measuring their alleged damages, all of which were rejected by the District Court. At one point, the plaintiffs claimed that all buyers failed to realize as much as 75% of the promised yield for their color toner cartridges, a claim that equates to about $200 million in damages.

This most recent victory is just one of a series of victories that Rutan has secured for BIC. In 2010, this same New Jersey District Court judge dismissed another class action lawsuit against BIC, rejecting allegations that consumers who receive the advertised page yield are “damaged” if some toner remains in a cartridge upon replacement [Arcand v. Brother Int’l Corp., 2010 U.S. Dist.

LEXIS 103942 (D.N.J. Sept. 29, 2010)]. Also in 2010, a California District Court refused to certify a class alleging that BIC failed to adequately disclose certain printer design features that could affect toner consumption [Kandel v. Brother Int’l Corp., 264 F.R.D. 630 (C.D. Cal. 2010)]. That same California District Court had ruled earlier that would-be class action plaintiffs and their lawyers were liable to pay BIC $100,000 in attorneys’ fees based on litigation tactics, a result upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals [Richardson v. Brother Int’l Corp., 400 Fed. Appx. 284 (9th Cir. 2010)].

2,000 Fort Collins HP Workers Await Impact of Split HP is moving forward with its plan to slip the company into two: a new entity that will sell commercial technology and a spinoff that will sell personal computers and printers. Fort Collins has significant R&D and personal computer and printer services. The new enterprise had $25.6 billion in sales for the last two quarters, with net earnings of $852 million.

According to industry analysts, 400-500 people work in Fort Collins' workstation group and fewer than 120 on the printer side. Both groups would become part of HP. Inc., and 1400 workers in Fort Collins would become a part of the HP enterprise working on the network cloud and infrastructure design, enterprise systems, storage and VLSI design.

Sprout: the New All-In-One HP’s Sprout has got a lot of publicity and it seems to be well-deserved. Tech Times tested the machine and says they managed to make a new logo for a fashion designer, shoot a slow-motion film about plastic butterflies, and learn origami within a few minutes.

The innovative feature of Sprout is that it allows the user to interact with the content they are manipulating on the touchpad and then manipulate it on the screen. The Sprout features a projector called the Illuminator, which operates four different cameras, including an RGB one, an infrared one, a 3D one, and a digital one with a resolution of 14 megapixels. With these you can scan 2D and 3D objects and display them on the Touch mat. After this, you can change the shape of the scanned object, its texture or its colors and then print it with a 3D printer.

Tech Times writer, Fergal Gallagher, notes that although there is nothing essentially new about Sprout’s parts, the new thing is that they are brought together in a way that is easy to use, so it is suitable for both professional designers and household users. With a price tag of $1,899 it’s not among the cheapest desktops, but it is still affordable.

Xerox Looks to Boost Partner Revenue with MPS Tools

MARKETING TRENDS

MARKETING TRENDS

Xerox is introducing four new tools for its channel partners, looking to help its resellers recurring revenue streams. The new tools include an enhanced managed supplies service, allowing partners to automatically supply replacements for printers that are not under a cost-per-page price plan. Partners can also order and renew their assessment tools and services through the NewField IT e-Commerce Storefront, expecting a more efficient MPS program for their customers. The company will offer a "pro" version of the service at a discounted price to its resellers. A new API is introduced to allow partners to integrate their front-and-back-office systems for more efficient management. Finally, Xerox Digital Alternatives is expected to help customers automate their paper-based process through a desktop and mobile assistant solution.

Currently, about 72 percent of SMBs lack an established managed print service, said Mike Feldman, president of Global Document Outsourcing and Large Enterprise Operations at Xerox. “We believe that large and small and medium-size business customers—in other words customers of all sizes—have very similar needs and desires,” said Feldman, in an interview with The VAR Guy. “And we believe that channel partners working with Xerox can deliver this very effectively to our SMB customers.”

New Printer Makes Images with Holes Researchers from the Missouri University of Science and Technology have created an innovative printer that instead of ink uses tiny holes, and when light shines through them, the sheet on which they are punched refracts it in such a way as to create different colors.

The idea may sound good but there are two problems with this printer. The first one is that the images it creates are supertiny and can only be seen through an electron microscope. The second is that it doesn’t use just any normal paper. It uses a special silver-coated sheet, with a silica gel between the two silver layers. So, while the new technology can hardly be used for printing photos from a birthday party, it can be used for making security markings on products, for example, or to store information.

2D PRINTER MAKERS ENTER 3D PRINTING WORLD Of course, we all know already that HP is gearing up for the official launch of its Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer next year.

But it is by no means the only traditional printer maker that is entering the 3D printing market. Gartner’s Pete Basieliere, says he already predicted this entry two years ago, when he said he expected two major digital press makers selling their own 3D printers by 2016. One is, of course, HP, and the other is wide format inkjet printer maker Mimaki, who will launch next month its own 3D printing service hub featuring its own machines.

Mimaki boasts that its printers can make as many as 10 million color expressions using four main colors with its 3D printing technology, based on the 2D inkjet one. Mimaki is unwilling to give any further details as it is in the process of applying for a patent for the technology.

Now Basiliere expects other 2D printer majors to enter the race, including names such as Canon, Epson, Konica Minolta, and Xerox. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine that these traditional printer manufacturers will stay away from 3D printing for much longer. It is, after all the technology of the future.

COLOR FIDELITY IN 3D PRINTING USES 2D PRINTING PRINCIPLES There’s little doubt that 3D printing is the technology of the future, but so far any method used has had one great disadvantage: color fidelity. A 3D-printed apple may be the exact replica of an actual apple but not in terms of color. To solve this problem, a team of scientists from the German Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research are drawing on traditional printing.

Like there are pixels in 2D printing, there are voxels, or droplets of printing material, in 3D printing. These voxels are released one by one in the respective colors and are instantly dried with UV lighting. So instead of layer by layer, as the most popular 3D printing machines work, the object is built droplet by droplet.

The obvious problems, however, are that this technology needs huge amounts of data and calculations that go into printing an object just a cubic centimeter across, which space contains up to 18 million droplets. In addition, there is the issue with the appearance of the object: the droplets have to be translucent so the UV light can pass through

20

them to cure them. Because of this, if you want high-fidelity color representation, one would need to control the colors used in the printing process to a depth of just a few voxels.

Needless to say, this makes the whole process even more complex.

To solve the problem, the researchers, led by Alan Brunton, have drawn on traditional printing, again using a technique called half-toning, in which continuous colors are replaced by groups of various-sized dots spaced differently. In addition, they are utilizing a way of calculating the color of a surface based on light scattering in several voxel layers. The combination of techniques has already proven successful, although the scientists don’t say how long it takes to print such a high-color fidelity object.

3D PRINTING HELPS CANCER PATIENT IN CHINA A man suffering a very rare for m of cancer, sacral chordoma, has been saved thanks to 3D printing. Sacral chrodoma affects just about one in a million people. It originates in the sacrum, a triangular group of vertebrae at the base of the spine. In the case of Wang Li, the tumor was so deeply rooted in the bone that it had to be removed. However, living without a sacrum is no easy matter. The patient becomes unable to stand or walk, which is where 3D printing came to the rescue.

Doctors from the Peking University People’s Hospital printed a replica of Wang’s sacrum made from porous titanium, ensuring that the bones around will fuse with it as they would with a natural bone. The success of the surgery holds promise for other cancer sufferers whose bones are affected by tumors and need to be removed at the risk of leaving them severely handicapped. Perhaps 3D printing could some day help avoid cancer-caused amputations, too?

WEBCAST TO DISCUSS 3D PRINTING POTENTIAL IN TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION It’s hardly news that the aerospace and auto industries are among the business areas that are most interested in 3D printing and its application for the creation of simultaneously lightweight and reliable component parts. This is what topology optimization is all about: using geometrical shapes that have been mathematically calculated to be optimal.

MARKET SEGMENTS

136th Issue - August 2015

This has so far been very difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods but 3D printing holds much promise that some day what the computer says is the perfect shape for a component part can be produced exactly as it says. To discuss the topic, DE Virtual Desktop held a webcast. The participants were Simon Floyd, director of business development and strategy for product lifecycle management at Microsoft, and Michelle Boucher, vice president of engineering software research at TechClarity, a research company that focuses on how business uses software technology, identifying best practices, and how companies can use IT to achieve operational improvement.

WINBO 3D PRINTS ENGINE Chinese 3D printer manufacturer Winbo has showcased an entire engine-3D printed using 18 machines. The engine is a Toyota 4 Cylinder Engine 22RE, a working model, and the design was provided by a user of Thingiverse. The end product has 130 parts that were individually printed, which took three days in all. The engine is fully functional and was worth $95.92 in terms of filament. To compare, traditionally manufactured engines take an average of five months and cost thousands of dollars.

SHAREBOT WORKS ON NEW FILAMENTS Italian 3D printing company Sharebot, who has been already supplying small and medium enterprises with userfriendly 3D printers for some time, has now focused on developing improved filaments. The first in the new series is called Nylforce 550, which was designed specifically for flexible objects. It’s transparent and can be used for mechanical parts that need to be not just flexible but also durable.

FORD, CARBON3D JOIN FORCES Ford has partnered with startup Carbon3D to create customized 3D printed car components, such as steering wheels. The carmaker expects that this sort of components will at some point become the norm in the industry and wants to make the best of this new opportunity.

Carbon3D recently made headlines when it said its proprietary 3D printing technology is inspired by “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”. Unlike other 3D printing companies, Carbon3D, whose president is a chemical engineering professor, uses a process similar to growing crystals, which forms objects like the movie villain T 1000 morphed into different shapes. Carbon3D has so far attracted $51 million funding from Sequoia Capital, Silver Lake Kraftwerk, and Autodesk’s Spark Investment Fund.

BECOMING 3D BECOMES AIRWOLF 3D RESELLER PARTNER FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Becoming 3D, a leading provider of 3D printing design-to-manufacturing solutions, announced it has become an Authorized Airwolf 3D Reseller Partner for the state of Florida.

As an Airwolf partner, Becoming3D will incorporate Airwolf's advanced 3D printers into its innovative custom designed solutions for its manufacturing and education customers.

Airwolf 3D has recently introduced the AXIOM line and a model specifically targeted at educational systems called the AXIOMe. This PLA version of the flagship AXIOM product offers all the benefits of the rugged construction, auto leveling, and full safety enclosure at a reduced price point.

The second new filament that the Italian company has released is the Nylon-Carbon, which, as the name suggests, is a combination of two types of fibers. The carbon fibers ensure that the printed object is lightweight, while the nylon makes sure it’s durable. The company has not provided any specific information on the possible uses of the two new materials but it boasts an extensive user community that could experiment with different applications.

It is the AXIOMe model that Becoming 3D will be developing its educational vertical focus around. "3D printing is increasingly becoming a part of the curriculum in classrooms around the world," said Becoming3D cofounder Grant Sadowski. "The AXIOMe from Airwolf offers teachers some distinct advantages such as speed, low maintenance, and safety over other similar machines that make it an ideal choice for our educational partners."

Bringing 3D printing into the classroom exposes learners to the same cutting-edge technologies they'll encounter later in their careers. In addition to supporting the science curriculum objectives, student familiarity with 3D printing and manufacturing concepts will help prepare them for a future where similar technologies will be increasingly commonplace, across a variety of industries including engineering, medicine and manufacturing.

Unlike traditional 3D printing manufacturers, Becoming3D's comprehensive assessment and solution approach includes a financing program, training, supplies and servicing—critical elements for schools and businesses that are normally not included in the purchase of 3D printers.

3D SYSTEMS STOCK SLIPS The shares of one of 3D printing’s giants, 3D Systems, have accumulated losses of 8.28% in the last four weeks. Over the past 12 months, 3D System’s stock has declined by a significant 64.57%, touching a low of $19.83 and a high of $69.56. Currently, the company’s market capitalization stands at $2.243 billion, with 111.797 million outstanding shares. The persistent decline in the company stock could be seen as an indication of the advancing maturity of the 3D printing market, with new players entering and technology advances constantly pushing back the boundaries of 3D printing.

FLORIDA TECH SCHOOL INSTALLS 50 3D PRINTERS It’s no secret that education is one of the biggest growth sectors for 3D printing, alongside medicine and mechanical engineering. In the latest evidence of this growth potential, the Florida Institute of Technology has bought 50 3D printers from China’s Zhuhai CTC Electronics to install in its electronics lab.

One of the managers of the laboratory commented that the institute is thrilled with the opportunity and said that CTC’s 3D printers enjoy a very good reputation on the US market. It is perhaps this reputation that ensured such a large-scale deal for the Chinese company, the first one of such magnitude for a Chinese 3D printer maker in the US educational sector. The lab manager, David Beavers, attributed the choice to the reliability and high quality of the CTC Bizer printers.

LOCAL MOTORS SUPPLIES FIRST 3D PRINTED CAR TO MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY Local Motors, a startup that joined forces with Michigan University on its DDM University project, has delivered the first 3D printed car to the educational institution. The car is one of three that will be used in research.

The vehicles are made from an ABS/carbon fiber composite plus a softer material called NinjaFlex, manufactured by another company, Fenner Drives. The softer material is on the seat and the front and back fenders. Some of the research it will be used in will focus on transportation-on-demand and the challenges it presents when it is provided through autonomous vehicles, the leader of the SmartCarts project and part of DDM University, told 3DPrint.

Canon’s New Office Design: Different Zones Cater to Different Work Styles No bins at employee desks at the new Brisbane offices of camera-printer giant Canon, nor does Canon want staff to use certain desks for more than two hours. The logic behind the change: improved efficiency and staff collaboration. “Like every business, Canon needs to continually find ways to ... get more productive,” Canon Oceania managing director Yusuke Mizoguchi said. So last year, their Sydney headquarters got a new workplace design catering to different working patterns. This has been replicated in their new Brisbane CBD offices, outfitted for $1.4 million.

Different zones are geared toward different work styles. Among the unusual ideas is the lack of bins at staff desks. Instead, there are three main rubbish bins in the kitchen. Canon argues this system means more effective rubbish disposal — and employees get a break from their desk. There are also different types of desks. Some are larger workstations for longer hours; others are smaller with signs saying, “should not be used more than two hours. Canon characterizes some staff as “focused” — more likely to sit down and want a fixed phone line, while others are “mobile” — spending more time meeting customers and for whom permanent desks are not critical.

Additionally, the airy staff kitchen has roundtable sitting areas, again designed to get staff to share ideas. The new CBD office has green initiatives — recycled tire pieces in potted plants — and consolidates two suburban Brisbane worksites. That saves $250,000 annually. Human resources director, Effie Fox, said staff feedback was that efficiency had improved, and Ms. Fox added that it focused on “the power of ... cross-functional cooperation and collaboration”. “They’re not just nice words,” she said. “The aim is to get people from sales-service working together in a very purposeful way to serve the customer.” Michael Molloy, of Queensland University of Technology’s School of Design, said workplace design is “always a changing beast”, with technology having a major impact on office space. Changing workplaces have tangible benefits, he said. This included potentially improving staff productivity and retention, as well as client perceptions.

According to the president of Canon’s local branch, the printers offer high-quality images, superior performance, excellent productivity and are best for small and medium enterprises. The MFPs can deliver printing speeds of up to 20-30 ppm in landscape format.

One of them, the C3330, is the first printer with an LCD display, which can provide video footage of the printer as a means of instructing the user on how to change the cartridge or other consumable.

INTEGRAL Holds Presentation on European Chemical Law REACH at Focus on Europe Conference

Mr. Jan H. Hagemann, Managing Director at INTEGRAL, the German manufacturer for The Toner for Better Images, held a presentation about REACH and its impact on the toner industry at the annual Focus on Europe Conference, which took place in Rome on June 4-5, 2015.

“REACH Revisited: The Impact of REACH on the Toner Industry” was aimed at drawing attention to the European Chemical Law REACH and its effects on the toner business, namely in terms of obligations that every player in the market should be attentive to, as well as at raising awareness about the implications of non-compliance. Among other topics, it was highlighted the obligations for sellers of toner to have their toner ingredients (pre)registered under REACH, at a time when REACH enforcement has started to take place in all European countries, through on-site inspections. Legal consequences will apply in cases of non-compliance, ranging from heavy fines to prison terms.

As a REACH early-adopter, INTEGRAL was also able to give afirst-hand testimonial about the implementation of REACH regulation within the company, highlighting what to expect from a REACH inspection, which INTEGRAL has already gone through and passed successfully.

UTEC: Winners Are You and Print-Rite with PR2 Gear Due to a recent notice issued by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) about certain toner supply containers and components, DN 3070, as well as the speculation on the GEO of Canon’s “dongle gear” investigation (No.337918) issued by ITC in September 2014, the PR-2 gear designed by Print-Rite can be a great solution or even a rescue for the aftermarket industry.

Thanks to Utec’s dedication to innovation and commitment to R&D, the PR2 gear has arrived to rescue the industry. How is the PR2 gear a safe rescue? The key innovation is the coupling member of the PR-2. In engagement or disengagement with the printer drive shaft, it does not have any inclination. “The PR2 gear used in the HP CE 505, HP CF 280, or HP CE 255 range provides our clients with a perfect solution for staying clear of

the patent infringement issue,” explained the head of R&D at Print-Rite, Mr. Philip So. Technically, each projection has a uniform radial length. This means that each projection is at an equal distance at two positions for the PR-2 gear to engage with the printer drive shaft.

This is also a by-product of our teamwork and innovation.”

In short, the PR-2 gear can be used in both new-build and remanufactured cartridges. In order to carry on your business as usual, free from patent hassles, feel free to contact Utec directly.

The machines come standard with a fixed memory of 64Mb, and runs off a 333 MHz processor. With print speeds of 19ppm and a list price starting at $299.00, these machines are becoming very popular.

The toner cartridges do not have a reset chip on them, but do have a reset gear that must be positioned properly for the machine to accept it as a new cartridge. The STD and HY cartridges use a different reset gear. The starter cartridges that initially came with new printers do not come with a rest gear. A new gear can be added and the starter cartridge made into a full TN221 or 225 cartridge. The proper reset positions of the gear will be covered later in this instruction. In addition to new reset gears being available, there is also an optional kit to convert a color cartridge to a black so that it fits into the drum unit properly. Sometimes black toners are in short supply and this allows you to satisfy you customer. While it’s never advisable to take a black and create a color cartridge, it is possible to take a color and make a black from it.

This unit has 4 separate drums laid out in line. It will be covered in a future article.

If you’re familiar with Brother cartridges, you know they do not work like other manufacturers cartridges. This series of printers is no exception.

漫长诉讼迎来终幕 天威终审胜诉西通 天威与西通之间漫长的跨年 3D 打印机 诉讼案迎来尾声：珠海天威飞马打印耗材 有限公司（“天威”）近日对外宣布，收 到了广东省高级人民法院（2015）粤高法 民三终字第 123 及 124 号民事裁定书，分 别撤销原一审民事判决；驳回珠海市东拓 贸易有限公司（西通关联公司）、珠海西 通电子有限公司（“西通”）的起诉。而 根据民事诉讼法第一百四十一条的相关解 释：第二审人民法院对提起上诉的裁定作 出的裁定是终审裁定，一经宣布，即发生 法律效力。 就在去年，我们曾报道了西通一审胜 诉天威的消息，但是这显然不是事件的终 结。两个月之前，国家知识产权局发布官 方声明，称珠海西通电子有限公司针对天 威 CoLiDo 1.0 3D 打印机产品设计的专利 侵权诉讼（对应专利号：201330341637、 201320463657）无效。这同时也意味着针 对 CoLiDo 3D 打印机的专利侵权诉讼案均 已无效。时至今日，广东省高级人民法院 终审判决驳回西通的起诉。至此，西通起 诉天威 3D 打印机侵权一案，以天威终审胜 诉告终。 天威就此表示：广东高院二审终审的 裁定，充分说明天威对知识产权的高度重 视，包括无论是对自主知识产权的保护， 还是对他人知识产权的尊重。天威将持续 技术创新，继续做好业内知识产权典范企 业。

中国 3D 打印创新中心于青岛正式开业 中国 3D 打印创新中心于 6 月 29 日在青岛市高新区 正式开业运营，该中心由世界 3D 打印技术产业联盟和中 国 3D 打印技术产业联盟共同创办。 该中心成立标志着 3D 打印技术行业由此开启一个时 代新篇章，将为 3D 打印技术行业的发展起到标志性引领 作用，极大促进 3D 打印技术行业健康快速发展，创新中 心也将力争成为全球 3D 打印行业的集聚区和战略高地。 开业当天，青岛市各级领导及部门负责人、青岛各大 院校领导代表、3D 打印技术产业联盟有关部门领导及成员 代表等 300 余人莅临中国 3D 打印创新中心参加开业仪式。 中央电视台新闻频道、财经频道、新华社、人民网等 100 多家境内外媒体对创新中心开业仪式进行现场实时报道。

3D 打印如何能像手机般普及？ 当我们规划智能 3D 打印时代时，就是要让 3D 打印 机的功能更为完善、性能更好、使用更为方便。那么，未来， 我们如何使 3D 打印机变得能像手机这样普及？ 手机终端后面是庞大的互联网技术团队和信息技术团 队。因此，我们首先要解决的是 3D 打印机的信息化改造， 才能适应未来移动互联网和移动信息网络的全面普及。目 前，我们过度重视硬件，忽视软件建设。要设法让每一台 打印机都有一个相对强大的后台支撑，有许多爱好者可以 很方便地将他们开发的软件上传，能够联网到一个个平台，

环节的应用；随着技术的进步，稳定性、精密度将不再困难， 材料可以全面突破；成本降低以后，将率先在铸造、模具 等行业全面渗透，并在其他领域得到广泛推进；打印速度 将显著提高，一个激光头还是两个激光头将不再是困扰速 度的主要因素；打印机的价格将在三年后下降至少三四成。 而在建筑 3D 打印机领域，目前的框架结构建筑实质 就是运用了 3D 打印技术的原理，在标准化、批量化建筑 领域，3D 打印的市场几乎不会存在，对于一些特殊环境 下的建筑需求，将有逐步试行的可能。而个性化建筑使用 面将会最广，但由于成本因素并不一定具有较大优势。总 体而言，对未来的市场须保持谨慎乐观。 相较之下，3D 打印在生物医学领域的市场潜力巨大。 应用面将大大提高，不再仅仅停留在打印牙齿、骨骼修复 等方面，打印部分人体器官将成为常态。当然，复杂的细 胞组织和器官的打印还有赖于诸多技术难题的突破。整个 应用推广的进程，也取决于各个国家的政策支持程度。 针对普通用户，桌面级 3D 打印机的普及只是时间问 题，最终取决于 3D 打印机自身的工艺改造和技术完善。 可以想见，未来的桌面 3D 打印机将变得更为小巧、便于 携带，外表上看起来更时尚，几年后它将会像电脑一样方 便携带。触屏功能、摄像功能、上网功能、自动修复功能 一应俱全。打印的精度非常高、打印的材料非常便宜，成 本大约在 1000 元人民币左右。届时，3D 打印机进入家庭、 进入学校将变为常态。

Canon Releases Wide-Format Printing System Océ ColorWave 700

佳能推宽幅一体打印系统 Océ ColorWave 700 2015 年 7 月 17 日， 佳 能（ 中 国 ） 在 北 京 发布了全新高速宽幅面彩色 / 黑白一体打印系统 Océ ColorWave 700（以下简称 CW700），该产 品为 Océ ColorWave650 的升级产品。 CW700 可以在极低的人力维护成本下，轻松 实现一天 1800 张 A1 幅面 CAD 图纸或 640 张高质量海报的高速输出。为了降低 耗材更换频率，CW700 设置了三抽屉六纸卷，可容纳长度 1200m 的打印耗材， 是市场上同类产品耗材长度的数倍。自动打印辅助系统可以根据打印任务自动切 换多种宽度介质，轻松打印不同规格的套图。除了高效的耗材管理，新品对打印 头的控制能力也有了大幅提高：CW700 的黑白、彩色打印头可以自由无缝转换， 并通过 Océ PAINT 技术在打印过程中对颜色变化进行感知，根据色差做出打印补 偿，确保输出一致性。 佳 能 CW700 不 仅 能 在 黑 白 彩 色 打 印 间 自 由 切 换， 新 增 介 质 自 动 识 别 MediaSense 功能让处理介质厚度提升为前代产品 4 倍，达到了 0.8mm；佳能独 有葵式打印技术可以直接在环保再生纸张或无涂层纸张上打印，足以应对市面上 各种介质。 CW700 打印介质在实际操作中能够将变换介质对工作流程的影响降到最低： 首先，CW700 的 MediaSense 技术可以根据介质的厚度自动调整打印头与介质的 间距；其次，葵式技术使用的防水速干“晶珠墨粉”有效防止因材质表面吸墨性 不同而造成的渗透和晕染现象，在各种介质上表现稳定，即使是非纸类材质也可 以对线条精准把握；第三，六纸卷设计能够同时加载不同介质、宽度的打印服务， 有效避免打印介质频繁更换带来的麻烦。此外，用户可以实现对介质的定制化处理， 在操作界面上通过选择介质大小、形状、特性等因素，对特殊介质制定定制化打 印方案。 长时间、精细化的打印管理离不开强大处理核心的支持，CW700 沿用了 Powersync 双核打印处理器：一个核心负责对文件进行处理，另一个核心则控制 整个打印流程，面对复杂打印任务时也不会减慢输出速度。 Océ ClearConnect 配备多点触控用户界面，操作便捷、设计统一，如同平 板电脑一样简单易用，用户很快就可以轻松掌控整个打印流程。CW700 在工作流

UTEC: Winners Are You and Print-Rite with PR2 Gear

UTEC 天威 PR-2 齿轮 独特设计 完美规避佳能专利 美 国 国 际 贸 易 委 员 会（ITC） 近 日 宣 布 将 于 2015 年 9 月 对 佳 能 万 向 节 齿 轮案进行终裁，届时将会针对侵权企业 及 产 品 发 布 普 遍 排 除 令（GEO）；6 月 12 日， 佳 能 再 次 向 ITC 提 交 控 诉， 指 控美国市场部分碳粉容器及其同类组件 （Certain Toner Supply Containers and Components Thereof）侵犯了其专利权。 现如今，佳能万向节齿轮案已愈演愈 烈，大有横扫打印耗材及配件行业之势， 而天威设计的 PR-2 齿轮能够有效规避佳 能专利，从而帮助整个行业摆脱万向节齿 轮困境。 天威 PR-2 齿轮能够规避佳能专利， 关键是其耦合件在与打印机驱动轴接触或 分离时能够始终保持无倾角，与涉案齿轮 结构截然不同。天威研发负责人对此做出 了进一步解释：“从技术上看，齿轮上每 一个凸起都有统一的径向长度，从而保证 PR-2 齿轮与打印机驱动轴接合时每一个 凸起都能双向等距移动，而这也是天威研 发团队努力和创新的成果。” 此外，天威 PR-2 齿轮还同时适用于 新建和再生鼓粉盒，其广泛适用性加上独 到的技术设计可避免任何的专利纠纷。

程的设计上有很大一部分参照了 Océ PlotWave 系列版本，用户无需改变工作习 惯，省去了重新习惯的麻烦。 CW700 应用的葵式技术完美结合 LED 墨粉技术和 Inkjet 喷墨技术的优势，独 有的“晶珠墨粉”不会四处飞扬，用手接触也不会掉色。与墨水相比，它易于运输、 储存，使用更方便。“晶珠墨粉”采用完全环保的材质，不会散发气味，也没有 粉尘污染。它支持使用再生纸，减少了造纸工艺，避免对环境的影响。由于墨粉 是固体，到达介质后马上结晶固化，因此印品是完全干燥的，无需晾晒即可折图 堆叠，极大提升了彩色打印的生产效率。 CW700 还能保证工作全程无臭氧、无粉尘排放，打印介质也不必有聚乙烯涂 层，真正实现了绿色环保的打印体验。

泰国副总理 局势平稳 欢迎投资

Thailand Vice Premier: Welcome to Invest in Thailand

中央国家机关通用耗材定点供应商 名单公布

List of Compatible Consumables Designated Suppliers for China's State Organizations

泰 国 副 总 理 比 蒂 耶 通· 德 瓦 古 叻 (Pridiyathorn Devakula) 近日访问香港时表示， 泰国局势在经过动荡之后已恢复平稳，GDP 从去年第一季度的负增长，恢复到今年第一季 度增长约 3%。目前，泰国政府推出了一系列 措施吸引外来投资。 比蒂耶通·德瓦古叻表示，泰国政府目前 的首要任务，就是希望重建和平与信心：“我 想我们已经完成了这个任务，恢复和平，商业 恢复正常，生产增加。” “我们过去有点动荡，但如果看看我们在 短期内取得的成就，可以得出的结论是：泰国 在发展。”比蒂耶通·德瓦古叻说。 当天，香港投资推广署与泰国投资促进委

2015 年 7 月 1 日，中央国家机关政府采购中心发布了《关于 2015 年中 央国家机关通用耗材定点采购有关事宜的通知》，该《通知》从执行方式、执 行期限、信息查询、采购价格、定点采购执行程序、采购流程、监督管理、联 系方式等八个方面对本次采购进行了说明。 据悉，中央国家机关政府采购中心首先通过公开招标择优确定了通用耗材 生产企业，再让企业推荐的所有定点供应商进行二次报价，最终确定 2015 年 中央国家机关通用耗材定点供应商。 本次采购执行期限为 2015 年 7 月 1 日至 2016 年 6 月 30 日，共选定通 用耗材定点供应商 44 家 ( 含 12 家电子商城经销商），其中包括天威、格之格、 莱盛、麦普等知名企业。

比蒂耶通·德瓦古叻表示，香港一直被视 为国际和区域性的商业枢纽，吸引世界各地商 家和公司设立据点，泰国则稳占东南亚国家联 盟的中心位置，是东南亚贸易和投资枢纽，备 忘录将促进两地日渐增加的投资合作关系。 谅解备忘录制定了香港特别行政区与泰国 在宣传两地双向投资的合作框架，以促进两地 互惠互利的合作关系。根据谅解备忘录，两地 会就双方的投资环境及投资机遇交换信息，以 促进两地之间的相互投资；双方还会分享有关 吸引外资的经验，也会鼓励本地公司在对方所

中国股市最近一段时间一直都在“跳水”，这事大家应该都知道了，而 近两年随着 3D 打印热潮出现在 A 股市场的 3D 打印概念股也不能幸免。近三 周的抛售潮已经令基准上证综指下跌了 29%。今日开盘，上证综指再次走低， 最低点跌幅超过 7%，3D 打印板块概念股 6 家停牌，2 家跌停，同样无一幸免。 这八支 3D 打印概念股当中，南风股份、金运激光、银禧科技、光韵达、 海源机械和银邦股份均已停牌，而南风股份和机器人则一度跌停。而从 5 月 28 日以来，这些 3D 打印股股价均已大幅下跌，跌幅均超过 40%，甚至达到 65%。 正在迅猛发展的 3D 打印行业是否会因为萎靡的中国股市而遭到重挫？让 我们密切关注。
