News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Italian design studio OpenDot and TOG, supported by the Careables.org platform and network, developed a new design for Glifo – a 3D printed custom aid that helps children with disabilities achieve autonomy in writing an drawing – and its new online configurator
GE Additive and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) formed a public-private partnership (PPP) designed to further Indiana’s economic growth by implementing GE’s Binder Jet beta program in the state’s manufacturing sector. Indiana, long considered a Republican stronghold, has a manufacturing sector that produced 27.67% of Indiana’s gross domestic product in 2019. The IEDC, moreover, boasts that the state has the highest number of pass-through highways in any state; Indiana has some of the highest large freight railroads in the United States; FedEx’s second-largest global air hub is based in Indianapolis. These advantages make Indiana a welcome hub for additive manufacturing.

On these pages, we’ve often had the opportunity to show how AM is helping the still relatively young new space economy literally get off the ground. Following in Space X’s, NASA’s and ESA’s footsteps, many fascinating startups are using AM to create unique space parts, including engines, satellites and even entire rockets (are on the way). We now zoom in on a newcomer in this… space: PhytomSpace. The firm recently partnered with 3D printing specialist GKN Additive to accelerate product development and leverage the economic advantages that additive manufacturing can offer.
Satair, an Airbus services company, has provided one of its airline customers in the US with what is believed to be the first certified metal printed flying spare part. This A320ceo wingtip specific part is no longer procurable from the original supplier, thus leading to an alternate solution developed by Satair. The tailored additive manufactured solution reduces the likelihood of an AOG for this specific aircraft, and on a larger level leads to increased flexibility in part production while meeting the same high-quality standards ensured by EASA Form1 certification.
