Army field tests 3D-printing capabilities in South Korea
CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea — Soldiers in South Korea can now get broken-down tanks and trucks ready for battle quicker thanks to a new experimental 3D-printing facility.
Known as the Rapid Fabrication via Additive Manufacturing...
Review: the Apium P220 industrial polymer 3D printer
The Apium P220 is an industrial 3D printer recommended for use with high-performance polymers including PEEK, carbon fiber reinforced PEEK, POM-C, PVDF, and PEI 9085. A functional, robust and highly resistant part output, the...
Copper3D wins new grant from NASA for antimicrobial 3D printing
NASA Nebraska Space Grant office provided funding to examine the development, validation, and mechanically characterization of antimicrobial 3D printed medical devices for astronauts. The objective is to test the antimicrobial properties of Copper3D's PLACTIVE...
A new technology era in 3-D printing
Mechanical engineering researchers are inventing game-changing technologies and developing a Renaissance in 3-D printing.
In the mid-15th century, a new technology that would change the course of history was invented. Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press, with...
Lockheed Martin Develops 3D Printing
Today, 3-D printing generates parts used in ships, planes, vehicles, and spacecraft, but it also requires a lot of babysitting. High-value and intricate parts sometimes require constant monitoring by expert specialists to get them...
Electron microscopy to build quantum materials atom by atom
A novel technique that nudges single atoms to switch places within an atomically thin material could bring scientists another step closer to realizing theoretical physicist Richard Feynman’s vision of building tiny machines from the...
New method measures 3-D polymer processing precisely
Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now.
Resins and other materials that react under light to form polymers, or long chains of molecules,...
3D Printing Glass-Ceramics at the Nanoscale
Fabrication of a true-3D inorganic ceramic with resolution down to nanoscale using sol-gel resist precursor is demonstrated. The method has an unrestricted free-form capability, control of the fill-factor, and high fabrication throughput. A systematic...
3-D printed microscope for medical diagnostics
Researchers have used 3D printing to make an inexpensive and portable high-resolution microscope that is small and robust enough to use in the field or at the bedside. The high-resolution 3D images provided by...
AWACS maintainers at leading edge of 3-D printing
Imagine you’re in aircraft maintenance and a mission is scheduled to fly in the next 24 hours. You need a part that hasn’t been manufactured in more than 30 years. A specially-commissioned replacement is...
