The power of clarity in building winning teams Editorials
Over the holidays, I flipped through a book called “21 Lessons from the 21st Century” written by Yuval Noah Harari. The first sentence of the introduction goes like this: “In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power.”
ETH Researchers Test Artificial Silicone 3D Printed Heart That Behaves Like Real One Medical
ETH researchers from the Functional Materials Laboratory have developed a silicone 3D printed heart that beats almost like a human heart. In collaboration with colleagues from the Product Development Group Zurich, they have tested how well it works. The artificial heart imitates a human heart as closely as possible.
Osprey Presents UNLTD, a Backpack with 3D Printed Reinforcements
After the recent project from VAUDE, Osprey, a leader in top-quality, high-performance packs presented Osprey UNLTD, an industry-changing pack series that harnesses rapidly emerging technology and materials such as Carbon DLS, previously untapped by the backpack industry. Production was once again provided by OECHSLER, an unrivaled specialist in this field.
Stratasys launches selective absorption fusion (SAF) 3D printer range for PBF production 3D Printer Hardware
Stratasys is again incrementing the company’s presence in the rapidly expanding area of production-grade 3D printing systems. After acquiring Origin for high-speed photopolymerization and RPS for large format stereolithography, the company just presented the upcoming line of powder bed fusion (PBF) based 3D printers. The new H Series Production Platform will be powered by Selective Absorption Fusion technology specifically designed to meet the needs of volume manufacturing. Commercial availability of 3D printers based on SAF technology is currently expected in the third quarter of 2021.
StarHagen joins the Velo3D Contract Manufacturer Network Aerospace
StarHagen, a provider of high-quality production parts for aerospace companies, has joined the Velo3D Contract Manufacturer Network with the purchase of an end-to-end solution from the additive manufacturing technology company. The Sapphire printer acquired by StarHagen is calibrated to print in Inconel 625, a nickel-based superalloy designed for high strength, and to be resistant to high temperatures and corrosion.
Nanoscribe’s TPP Technology Now Enables 3D Printing of Micro-Optics 3D Printer Hardware
The German company Nanoscribe is developing and producing high-precision 3D printing solutions enabling the micro-optics industry to innovate by additive manufacturing. Typically, the benefits of additive manufacturing are considered to be fast and flexible design iterations as well as freedom of design. But the usual 3D printing technologies available in the market fail to meet the resolution and precision requirements of optical applications. However, a broad range of almost arbitrary micro-optical shapes including standard refractive micro-optics, freeform optics, diffractive optical elements or even multiplet lens systems can now be printed in a one step-process by means of Nanoscribe’s Photonic Professional GT 3D printers, tailored solutions and materials.
Be a part of Women in 3D Printing’s next DfAM report AM Industry
Women in 3D Printing, an organization dedicated to uplifting women in the additive manufacturing industry, has announced it is working on a special edition of its annual DfAM report (Diversity for Additive Manufacturing). While past editions (there have been three to date) have focused primarily on the gender disparity in 3D printing, this upcoming edition will address a wider form of diversity and inclusion. As part of its research for the report, Women in 3D Printing is inviting members of the AM industry to partake in a quick survey about diversity in the workplace.
