News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Starting on July 11th, 2017, Janne Kyttanen is hosting a pop-up on his website. For one month, until August 11th, 2017, the designer’s site will be transformed into a pop-up that will feature rare and limited edition works, 3D printed fashion and opulent furniture designs. For a limited time only the pop-up will sell works […]
As the first launch of an entirely new product line, Latvian 3D printer manufacturer Mass Portal is introducing a professional grade filament dryers for its desktop 3D printers.
The technology developed by researchers at West Virginia University (WVU) that helped them win the NASA Sample Return Robot Challenge may be headed to Mars.
AMATHO (A.dditive MA.nufacturing T.iltrotor HO.using) is aimed to design, assess and manufacture a novel tiltrotor drive system housing exploiting the features of additive manufacturing techniques. Preliminarily, functional, structural and technological peculiarities of rotorcraft main gearbox housings are analysed and relevant requirements are issued.
Enterprise software giant SAP SE launched three new SAP Leonardo Innovation Services to help businesses connect new technologies to use case scenarios with the goal of shortening time to value. These are mainly focused on leveraging network and IT tool for manufacturing but they also include streamlining the integration of 3D printing, which has been an SAP focus for the longer term.
Stratasys‘ Fortus 900mc Aircraft Interiors (AI) Certification Solution has been adopted by leading parts supplier Western Tool & Mold to produce aircraft cabin components that meet stringent FAA and EASA certification requirements. Hong Kong-based Western Tool & Mold (WTM) serves the aerospace interiors market where airlines demand quick turnaround of replacement parts to improve supply chain efficiency, but are often challenged due to the unique geometries of individual components.
Ever since additive manufacturing began to be seen as a production-capable technology, the benefits from generative and parametric design in creating geometries that can fully exploit the possibilities offered by additive processes became even more apparent. A new computational method for creating complex telescoping structures takes geometries to a new level, once that has actually often been seen in science fiction movies.
Each year the editors of the MIT Technology Review identify 50 companies creating new opportunities by combining important technologies and business savvy. Some in the MIT 50 Smartest Companies 2017 list are large enterprises that seem to be growing ever larger, like Amazon and Apple. Others, like IBM, or General Electric are old-guard giants betting on technology renewal. And the list is full of ambitious startups like SpaceX, which is changing the economics of space travel with reusable rockets; Face ++, a pioneer in face recognition technology; and it also includes two pure player additive-manufacturing firms: Carbon and Desktop Metal.
For this level, which is the second of three sub-competitions within Phase 2, teams had to 3 ...
Lake Mary, Florida based NeoMetrix Technologies, resellers of rapid product development equipment and software, announced the finalization of a distribution deal with 3D Systems. Headquartered in Rock Hill, South Carolina, 3D Systems engineers, manufactures and sells 3D printers. 3D Systems’ former President and current CTO, Chuck Hull is credited with inventing stereolithography (SLA) technology – essentially making the company the originator of 3D printing. With this 3D Systems relationship, NeoMetrix Technologies completes their portfolio of additive manufacturing solutions that includes 3D Systems’ Geomagic software, as well as Creaform and EvixScan 3D scanning products.
