News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The AstroReality Lunar Model is a 1/28,969,000 scale high definition 3D printed model of the Moon that you can hold in your hands. It’s built with the most accurate 3D printing technology available in the market, which means it is modeled with 0.006 millimeters per pixel precise renderings of the moon’s surface based on data captured by NASA’s Lunar Orbiter science team.
An impressive, largely 3D printed Cobra MKIII 1/4 curbside miniature model, measuring 99 cm in length was created by a Netherland’s based student, Sebastiaan Pot, with the goal to make every detail as realistic as possible. The amazing level of details shows not only how far 3D printing has come but also how much it has affected the miniature replica segment and all those who love superbly realistic collectables, especially those who build them.
Electrical engineers at Duke University have invented an inexpensive printed sensor that can monitor the tread of car tires in real time, warning drivers when the rubber meeting the road has grown dangerously thin.
3D Systems have started a new certified partner program for medical device additive manufacturing companies to offer secure and premium services for medical device companies. rms Company is the first to join this new quality supply network and will focus on design, development and manufacturing of medical implants using 3D Systems’ Direct Metal Printing (DMP) technology.
Premium AEROTEC, a subsidiary of European aircraft manufacturer Airbus and a manufacturer of aero structures in its own right, has been a key adopter of additive manufacturing technologies in the aerospace sector. Understandable, as the company, which employs 10,000 people and generates 2 billion euros in revenue yearly, is continually seeking to integrate state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies into its business.
Ackuretta Technologies, a leading innovator and manufacturer of professional-grade 3D printers and materials, announced expansion into the EU market today; formally opening offices in Pforzheim, Germany.
To celebrate the many innovations for aircraft additive manufacturing that Stratasys and its partner ...
KOMET GROUP is using Renishaw metal additive manufacturing technology to produce new ranges of innovative cutting tools. As well as allowing special cutters to be produced more quickly, the use of additive manufacturing enables more complex shapes to be generated, both for the external shape of the tooling and for the internal cooling channels.
The iFuse-3D Implant by SI-BONE combines the patented triangular shape of the iFuse Implant with a proprietary 3D-printed porous trabecular surface and unique patented fenestrated design to promote bone ongrowth, ingrowth, through growth and intra-articular fusion
