The Office of Naval Research and Lockheed Martin are exploring ways to apply artificial intelligence to train robots to oversee and optimize 3D printing of complex parts. The two-year, $5.8 million contract will allow...
The German Armed Forces are working on using 3D printing directly in the field, as described in a study entitled “Characteristics of a metal additive manufacturing process for the production of spare parts.” The...
Canadian plasma torch developer and manufacturer PyroGenesis has announced the completion of an additive manufacturing metal powder production facility. Fitted with state of the art equipment, the factory is the next step in the...
Additive manufacturing has, in many studies, been compared with traditional manufacturing techniques like, for example, injection molding. In a study entitled “The Use of Selective Laser Melting to Increase the Performance of AlSi9Cu3Fe Alloy,”...
Last month we took a look at what is currently being offered in terms of additive manufacturing simulation. Due to the sheer number of companies that are developing solutions in this field, we could...
Interfacing active devices with biology in 3D printing could impact a variety of fields, from regenerative bioelectronics and smart prosthetics to biomedical devices and human-machine interfaces. Researchers at the University of Minnesota are exploring...
Summary: Engineers have developed 3D printed devices that can track and store their own use — without using batteries or electronics. Instead, this system uses a method called backscatter, through which a device can...
Though the benefits and promise of additive manufacturing are often touted, it is the concrete examples which are the most assuring. Today, Siemens announced that a 3D printed burner for an SGT-700 gas turbine...
3D printing has rapidly become a big deal in medical applications. The technology is ushering in a new generation of custom prosthetics and surgical guides, is used to create life-like models of human organs...
CFM, Continuous Fiber Manufacturing, is a potentially disruptive process that merges the performances of thermosetting composite materials with the potentialities of Additive Manufacturing. The process was patented in 2015 inside “Politecnico di Milano” University,...
