News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
A skeletal floor for the ESA-supported lunar habitat design was created by leading architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and is currently on show at this year’s Venice Biennale. This prototype lunar floor design section was 3D printed in stainless steel by Dutch company MX3D, known for creating a metal 3D printed bridge in Amsterdam using internally developed large format, robotic WAAM technology
Raise3D is introducing in late 2021 its Pro3 Series, ta new 3D printer of its segment, with improvements to address the needs of agile or small-batch production of end parts, tools, spare parts, or other similar products. The Pro3 Series includes two dual-extruder 3D printers: the Pro3, with a build volume of 300x300x300mm, and the Pro3 Plus, with a build volume of 300x300x605mm.

The partnership between Velo3D and Launcher is further proving out the value of 3D printing for delivering satellites to orbit cost-effectively and with destination-orbit flexibility. In April 2021, Launcher purchased a Velo3D Sapphire metal additive manufacturing solution to print rocket engine parts in Inconel last. Now the company has added a second one that prints in titanium.
Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing (KAM for short), the metal AM service founded by former Team Penske NASCAR race driver Brad Keselowski, is rapidly becoming one of the most productive AM factories in the world. After starting out just a few years ago with only two systems, the service provider has built up a fleet of 21 metal PBF systems, with the newest SLM 280 just introduced bringing the total to three.
