GE Aviation Singapore to provide AM services for engine component repair 3D Printer Hardware

As metal additive technology continues to gain momentum in the design and industrial production of new aerospace components, GE Aviation’s Loyang facility is the first maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility worldwide that has been approved to use metal additive manufacturing for commercial jet engine component repairs. GE Aviation Engine Services Singapore (GE AESS) currently employs more than 1,700 employees in the city-state and accounts for more than 60 percent of GE Aviation’s global repair volume. GE Aviation continuously innovates in the MRO sector, and GE AESS recently announced that it is the first MRO facility in the world approved to perform metal additive repairs on jet engine components.

Flux Developer, the Toolkit for Qualifying Advanced Photoresins

We’ve had a keen interest in Boston-based company Fortify since it was named a winner of Formnext’s 2018 Start-up Challenge. And for good reason. The company, which in 2021 raised $20 million in a Series B funding round, has pioneered a magnetic DLP 3D printing process for producing high-quality composite parts. The patented process, known as Digital Composite Manufacturing, is at the center of Fortify’s broader offering, which also includes filled photopolymers and a new software solution, Flux Developer, which gives users the tools, experiments, and workflows to develop and qualify filled resins for a variety of applications.

3D printed medicines in seven seconds Research & Education

3D Printed Medicines in Seven Seconds

The findings, published by a University College London (UCL)-led research team, improve the prospects of how 3D printers could be integrated into rapid-paced clinical settings for the on-demand production of personalized medicines. For the current study, the researchers loaded printlets (printed tablets) with paracetamol – one of many medicines that can be produced using 3D printing.

3D Coffee, the next coffee revolution enabled by 3D printing Consumer Products

3D Coffee, the Next Coffee Revolution Enabled by 3D Printing

3D Coffee is a project financed by the European Union funds as part of the First Open Call of the Digital Innovation Hub World, which sees the innovative startup Additive Appliances and the Kilometro Rosso innovation center as protagonists, with the additive technologies lab Lisa Tech. To prepare quality coffee, pressure and temperature control are essential. The “thermo-mechanical” or traditional machines, such as the Moka, the siphon, or the French press, do not directly control these variables and have well-known process limits; however, they are eco-friendly and have a greatly reduced environmental impact, more than 30%, compared to electric machines.
