Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) engineers and scientists have developed a method for detecting and predicting strut defects in 3D-printed metal lattice structures during a print through a combination of monitoring, imaging techniques and...
Few things are more annoying in an otherwise very good performance car than an unsupportive driver’s seat. Enter Porsche, a company that already makes very good seats, and its announcement that as of mid-2021...
Automakers have been focused on lightweighting their vehicles for years, motivated by fuel economy, performance and safety. This engineering task is becoming increasingly difficult as the areas to trim become fewer, and the requirements...
The latest release of open software technology for geometric modeling from Siemens Digital Industries Software is set to benefit hundreds of software applications and millions of their end-users. The latest improvements in Parasolid® software...
Here, the central section of the seat, in other words the seat and backrest cushions, is partly produced by a 3D-printer. Customers will be able to choose between three firmness levels (hard, medium, soft)...
So you’re convinced to put your parts on a diet. Or maybe you’re starting from a blank sheet and want to design with lightweighting strategies from the start. The following are five approaches to...
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...
Neri Oxman and the Mediated Matter Group at MIT have unveiled a new 3D printing project. In Aguahoja, 3D printed lattices have been “shaped by water” to form large, sculptural chrysalides. Made from cellulose,...
