A tech company focused on making the hardware and software for 3D printing has set up shop in North Texas.

With its eyes on the growing additive manufacturing space, South Dakota-based B9Creations has opened its newest office at the Venture X-The Realm at Castle Hills coworking space in Lewisville.

The Rapid City, SD-based company might not be the most well-known in the industry, but they are among the oldest. They began with founder Michael Joyce’s Kickstarter campaign way back in 2013, and they’re now celebrating their tenth anniversary. There are not many 3D printer manufacturers that can boast that.

Professional 3D printing solutions provider B9Creations has been keeping its focus on AM materials lately, launching a line of robust resins in October and a silicone for jewelry molds last summer, as well as one for medical applications in January.

B9Creations unveils its largest-format, customizable 3D printer platform, the B9 Core 5 Ascent Series, at the 2022 AMUGexpo – meeting the rising demand for customization in the industry.

On one side of South Dakota, Electronic Systems Inc. is manufacturing cutting-edge electronics products in Sioux Falls for clients worldwide. Across the state in Rapid City, B9Creations LLC is designing, building and selling high-resolution 3D printers.

Seemingly simply tasks like holding a fork, writing with a pencil or using a handheld shower are challenges for some people with disabilities. Black Hills Works and 3D printing manufacturer B9Creations have partnered to design customized devices that will make daily life easier.

In the battle against COVID-19, 3D printer companies specializing in a range of services pivoted their technology and designs to support relief efforts, mass-producing medical products essential for providers during the pandemic. One of the more disruptive and transformative companies helping with the production of equipment sorely in need is B9Creations. The 3D printing solutions provider played an integral role in producing shells for ventilator masks and nasal swabs, among other in-demand products.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create logistical challenges due to disruptions in manufacturing and transportation, along with resistance against globalization and free trade. This has curtailed the global supply chain, provoking critical shortages of essential goods. There is a desperate need for factories to manufacture on-demand materials and devices for a range of essential healthcare services.

Innovative space company Made In Space has continually surprised us with inventions such as the Archinaut large object printer, bioprinting, its longest 3D printed part, and its Additive Manufacturing Facility for the International Space Station (ISS). Now, the company is set to launch a stereolithography 3D printer to the ISS specifically to make ceramics. Made In Space, now a part of commercial space roll up Redwire, aims to put the printer on Northrop Grumman’s 14th commercial resupply mission (NG-14). In an earlier iteration, the company worked together with B9Creations.

B9Creations joins Inc. 5000 alumni like Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names who gained their first national exposure as honorees on the list.

A former Air Force pilot, Mike Joyce with deep expertise in computer science and mathematics, who was seeking a better additive manufacturing platform for use in the aerospace industry founded B9Creations. During his search for an additive manufacturing solution, he discovered there were only two categories of technology – cheap 3D printers for at-home hobbyists and ones costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, well out of reach for small and medium-size businesses. So, Joyce decided to forge a third category, a fast, reliable, easy-to-use, 3D printer that delivered a professional-grade solution with a quick return-on investment.

A team of researchers from Rey Juan Carlos University, Madrid have 3D printed a set of self-sensing composite parts using B9Creations 3D printing technology. By reinforcing a commercially available photopolymer resin with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the scientists were able to further functionalize it with electrical conductivity, citing promising applications in structural health monitoring.
