VIDEO: 3D Printing material would help create self-cleaning toilets
Since the day we talked about sex on this platform, I knew that 3D printing would make us talk about the topics we expected the least. Researchers have developed a 3D printing material that...
AMGTA LCA reveals that Binder Jetting reduces carbon emissions by 38% – but industry experts have reservations
The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (“AMGTA”), recently revealed the preliminary results of a life-cycle analysis study titled “Comparative Life-Cycle Assessment: Comparison of Casting vs Binder Jetting for an Industrial Part.” As a reminder, the...
How a 3D printed bandage helps deliver treatment for diabetic foot ulcers
Used for a variety of applications in the healthcare industry, 3D printed scaffolds are meeting the needs of treatments we do not always expect. The latest experiment in the field is presented by Researchers...
New “Human bioinks for 3D printing” project aims to replace animal-derived materials
One crucial challenge of 3D bioprinting is the use of suitable materials to enable the 3D printing of living cells which are called bioinks.
The most commonly applied materials in 3D bioprinting are still derived...
NASA’s printed circuits may lead to more 3D printing applications
Engineers successfully tested hybrid printed circuits at the edge of space in an April 25 sounding rocket flight from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility near Chincoteague, Virginia. Electronic temperature and humidity sensors printed onto the...
Sheffield researchers develop a 3D printed electric motor, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison
We recently discovered the ability of Sheffield university researchers to use AM for rocket engine. Today, as part of a research that aims to develop electric motors with less material, those researchers joined forces...
Thermophysical properties of NASA alloys help to establish process capabilities and design guidelines of 3D printed parts. Here is how.
The research has been conducted by Yehong Chen, Congyuan Zeng, Huan Ding, Selami Emanet, Paul R. Gradl, David L. Ellis, Shengmin Guo affiliated to Louisiana State University, Southern University and A&M College, NASA Marshall...
Marines demonstrate in-flight 3D printing aboard a U.S. Marine Corps aircraft
The Consortium for Additive Manufacturing Research and Education (CAMRE) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) recently conducted a demonstration of in-flight 3D printing aboard a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.
This successful test...
University of Sheffield students build and test a metal 3D printed liquid rocket engine
The engine would be the first to be 3D printed by students in the UK and the most powerful student-built liquid rocket engine
A team of Sheffield engineering and science students additively manufactured the ‘SunFire’...
Incus looks back at lithography-based metal manufacturing tests in the lunar environment
The project's goal was to develop a sustainable process that uses lunar resources and recycled scrap metals, eventually contaminated by lunar dust, to produce spare parts on-site which could help and enhance human settlement...
