ASTM International’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE), in collaboration with America Makes, debuted a strategic guide that identifies gaps, challenges, solutions, and action plans for additive manufacturing (AM) data. The strategic guide...
Additive manufacturing (AM) is the revolutionary process of creating three-dimensional objects by the successive addition of material – whether plastic, metal, ceramic, composite, or something else. The process starts with a digital model, usually...
Oct. 31, 2019，Stryker announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance of its SAHARA Lateral 3D Expandable Interbody System featuring Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology, which will be on display at the Society...
The shipping industry is looking to take advantage of additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, to print spare parts, thereby reducing lead times, costs, stock requirements, and environmental impacts. Certification ensures that...
In anticipation of the unprecedented launch of reimbursement codes for medical 3D printing in July, a panel of 3D printing experts discussed the implications of this critical landmark and how it may shape future...
Quality assurance inspections prove that additive manufacturing (AM) a perfect part is a lot harder than many engineers thought. A bracket’s lattice structure that was built using additive manufacturing AM is a layer-by-layer production...
A new ASTM International standard aims to help determine the safety of surgical implants and prevent potentially adverse effects on patients. ASTM’s committee on medical and surgical materials and devices (F04) developed the standard...
While Additive Manufacturing (AM) has many advantages for industry, including the ability to optimize the design of high-value parts and other components, it also comes with some risks. When used in manufacturing, it is...
Time to market is always a design challenge. The design team at Tooling & Equipment International (TEI) had just three weeks to cast, clean, heat treat, machine and inspect a motorcycle swing arm with...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing technique perfectly suited for the production of complex, functional parts. Large companies in the aerospace and medical industry have demonstrated interesting cases of how AM can be used...
