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...
Lithoz and Himed to explore the potential of CaP materials to augment the performance of 3D-printed implantable forms
For the next chapter on how to drive innovation and research into the 3D printing of medical-grade bioceramics, Lithoz is joining forces with New York-based biomaterials specialist Himed.
The developer of the LithaBone HA...
Senvol’s machine learning software can accurately predict material performance for Additive Manufacturing. Here is how.
Software provider Senvol recently demonstrated a machine learning approach to material allowables development that was shown to be more flexible, cost-effective, time-effective, and equivalent to the conventional (in this case, MMPDS) approach to material...
Can 3D printing help make the chore of packing faster and easier?
A new computational method facilitates the dense placement of objects inside a rigid container.
People often find it difficult to pack in a uniform way 3D objects of varied sizes and shapes. This problem, in...
