ICON Presents Bigger, Faster Vulcan 3D Printer & Unveils House Zero

Texas-based construction 3D printing company ICON has once again upgraded its Vulcan system. The next-gen 3D printer was announced in parallel to a new 3D printed home initiative—the Exploration Series—which ICON is working on in collaboration with various world-class architects. We’ve got our first glimpse of the inaugural build of the series, House Zero, which is designed by Texas firm Lake|Flato Architects.

Gautzsch Looks to the Future of Distribution with Sinterit SLS 3D Printing

Those outside of the distribution world can sometimes take it for granted, but supply chains and logistics are intricate systems made up of many relationships and agreements and constrained by budgets and technical possibilities. H. Gautzsch Firmengruppe, a German B2B distribution services company, understands this better than most. It also understands the potential of AM to open up new possibilities in its business and is further exploring the benefits of it by leveraging Sinterit’s SLS 3D printing technology.

Should Lockheed Martin and GM Look to SLM Solutions and Local Motors for Their Lunar Rover

Should Lockheed Martin and GM Look to SLM Solutions and Local Motors for Their Lunar Rover

Only 5% of the Moon’s surface has been explored by the human race, and to reach the other 95%, NASA astronauts on the Artemis program are going to need some serious wheels. That’s why Lockheed Martin and General Motors have teamed up to design a next-generation lunar rover, capable of transporting astronauts across farther distances on the lunar surface. While the rover doesn’t need to be lightweight to travel around the Moon, it will certainly have to be extremely lightweight in order to be transported from the Earth’s surface (where it will likely be assembled, until there will be AM factories available in space) to the surface of the Moon. For this endeavor, Lockheed Martin and GM—with both companies already quite familiar with using AM—may want to turn to SLM Solutions. The metal AM hardware manufacturer has built up experience with building both lunar rovers and cars.
