A collaborative team explores Multi-Axis Metal Additive Manufacturing to manufacture overhang geometries without support structures.
Experts from Promation, ModuleWorks, and Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) Laboratory of the University of Waterloo have explored a new method for manufacturing overhang geometries without the need of support structures.
Promation brings here its expertise...
Thermwood and partners achieve CERN Particle Collider Upgrade Prototyping with Large Scale Additive Manufacturing & Trimming
In spring last year, Purdue University’s Composites Manufacturing Simulation Center (CMSC) and Thermwood Corporation announced the establishment of a large-scale additive manufacturing laboratory to execute industry-funded research into large scale composite thermoplastic additive manufacturing.
The CMSC essentially...
It takes a few seconds to 3D print glass with this new laser-based volumetric additive manufacturing process
It’s been a few years that volumetric 3D printing is gaining traction, but we have decided to keep a more serious look at the technology ever since some organizations have started commercializing their process....
A tripartite collaboration explores 3D Bioprinting to solve social issues related to food, health and environment
Food, health and environment are three verticals that share a common goal: the welfare of the population. While each of these verticals raises their own issues, it’s possible to address some of them with...
Fashion Tech: Creating “smart clothes” with 3D printing and a liquid metal-alginate ink
With the advancements in fashion tech, we could wear in the future, clothes that might be able to monitor our health, manage our body temperature or communicate with smartphones.
To achieve this, scientists need to...
The design of architected surfaces would increase the efficiency of 3D Printed heat exchangers by 50% compared to a conventionally manufactured exchanger
A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat or thermal energy between two or more fluids or from one medium to another.
Heat exchangers can be explored in a wide range of practical...
Anisoprint to adjust composite fiber 3D printing for close-to-zero gravity conditions as part of new Startup Support Program
The new opportunities provided by space exploration are real incentives for the satellites business and for all companies that ambition to make sightseeing trip in space and stay in orbit longer a routine activity.
To...
“NINJAS” Researchers tested new method of 3D Printing Electronics in zero-gravity environment
Any research that leads to productive results in a zero-gravity environment can positively affect astronauts’ experience in Aeronautics and Space as the state or condition of weightlessness is predominant in such environment.
A recent research...
Does nature hold the answer to sustainability? A look at biomimicry and its practical use within the 3D Printing sphere.
If everything we use comes from natural resources and that natural ecosystems are often described as models of sustainability, does that mean that every 3D printed product inspired by nature is de facto a...
Here is how Additive Manufacturing help turn ‘oxygenated water’ into non-toxic rocket fuel
The three things Reid is trying to overcome using the gyroid in the catalyst bed is loss of catalyst, a large pressure drop, and maximising thrust balanced against the concentration of hydrogen peroxide –...
