The Renault RS 2027 F1 concept is Renault’s vision of what Formula 1 cars could look like in 10 years: ultra light, safe, powerful and — almost redundantly — crazy cool. I mean, just look at it.
Metal 3D printing technology is gaining more and more traction in the industrial field. The aerostructures supplier Premium AEROTEC holds a leading position within its sector for this technology. To consolidate this position and to expand the company’s capabilities beyond aviation, Premium AEROTEC is starting a joint project with experienced partners EOS, the leading technology supplier for industrial 3D printing, and Daimler, the renowned automotive manufacturer. Together, they will develop the next generation of additive manufacturing (AM) in their NextGenAM project. Via this cooperation, the companies are laying the foundations for the implementation of this technology in large-scale serial manufacturing.
As originally reported by Investor’s Business Daily, shares of Stratasys jumped Tuesday after the 3D printer maker was upgraded to overweight from neutral at prestigious stock analyst firm Piper Jaffray, based on the view that 3D printing stocks and industry demand trends are improving after a long slowdown.
Sigma Labs, an OTCQB listed provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D brand has received a contract from Solar Turbines Incorporated, a subsidiary of Caterpillar located in San Diego, California. Solar Turbines will implement Sigma Labs’ In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) technology for the production of gas turbine components using metal additive manufacturing. The division makes mid-size industrial turbines for use in electric power generation, gas compression, and pumping systems.

At a time when the planet seems ever more divided, it’s amazing to visit a place like Gulliver’s Gate and be reminded that we all share one world. Gulliver’s Gate is one of the most ambitious attractions to ever land in New York City, a $40 million extravaganza that allows visitors to travel the globe without leaving Times Square, made possible by painstaking artisan work with some help from digital manufacturing. Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Russia, and Europe are all here in incredibly detailed miniature. And don’t let that word “miniature” fool you—Gulliver’s Gate feels like it covers acres, stretching a full city block with the wonders of the world.
A cartilage-mimicking material created by researchers at Duke University may one day allow surgeons to 3D print parts for knee reconstruction that are custom-shaped to each patient’s anatomy. The study was published on the ACS Biomaterials journal.
