Extrusion Speed Key to Improving FDM Part Quality?
Additive manufacturing technologies continue to develop extremely rapidly. By their principal capacity of reproducing any given geometric complexity, they leave all the classical approaches far behind; digital manufacturing of goods by means of 3D...
Novel process to 3D print one of the strongest materials on Earth
Researchers from Virginia Tech and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a novel way to 3D print complex objects of one of the highest-performing materials used in the battery and aerospace industries.
Previously, researchers could...
GM’s Use of 3-D Printing Predicts Cheaper, Better Cars
THE FIRST THING that hits you, the signal that this drab Michigan office building is a bit cooler than an average office building, is the smell. The acrid, metallic, plasticky, burning smell, the sort...
Actuation Gives New Dimensions to an Old Material
One of the oldest, most versatile and inexpensive materials — paper — seemingly springs to life, bending, folding or flattening itself, by means of a low-cost actuation technology developed at Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer...
Solvay expands offering of high-performance polymers for 3D-printing simulation
Solvay adds 10% carbon fiber filled KetaSpire® polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and neat Radel® polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) to e-Xstream engineering’s latest release (2019.0) of Digimat®-Additive Manufacturing (AM) software. These products complement the neat KetaSpire® PEEK AM filament...
CERN 3D Printing Components for Particle Accelerators
Several years ago, there was quite a stir around the world when the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) began work with the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider....
Novel 3D Printing Process Used in Unique Nashville and Chicago Installations
A novel 3D printing process developed by Branch Technology, Chattanooga, Tenn., was used in two recently completed unique projects. The firm, an architectural fabricator with a specialty in large-scale 3D printing, used compounds developed...
Rapid and continuous 3-D printing with light
Three-dimensional (3-D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), can transform a material layer by layer to build an object of interest. 3-D printing is not a new concept since stereolithography printers have existed...
Tethon 3D and University of Nebraska to Develop First Ceramic and Metal DLP 3D...
Tethon 3D, a ceramic 3D printing material specialist headquartered in Nebraska, has received a grant to develop a multi-material DLP 3D printer.
The grant was awarded by the University of Nebraska, that will also provide...
Cost and Time Savings of Using 3D Printing to Fabricate Automotive Components
When it comes to industrial 3D printing for automotive applications, London-based Betatype is building up considerable expertise. The 3D printing company was founded in 2012, and works with its customers to deliver functional, 3D...
