News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
voxeljet AG sold another sale of its VX4000 3D sand printer to one of the largest foundries in western India. The VX4000 is among the world’s biggest binder-jetting systems for industrial production, with a build volume of eight cubic meters (4 x 2 x 1 m).
Days after revealing that its customers have repaired and refurbished over 10 million turbine blades using its metal additive manufacturing technology, Optomec has been awarded a $1 million contract from the U.S. Air Force. Through the contract, Optomec will deliver a high-volume, highly automated production machine for refurbishing turbine engine components, including those made from titanium.

As a pioneer in the AM space, Dr. Joseph DeSimone’s resume is already highly impressive. Not only is he the co-founder of innovative 3D printing company Carbon, but he has also enjoyed a 30-year career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and NC State University. Now, Dr. DeSimone has revealed he has joined Stanford University’s faculty.
While some of us spent months of lockdown binge watching TV, others used the time to come up with innovate solutions to existing problems. Such is the case with Lea Randebrock, a Finnish-German designer from the Royal College of Art in London, who developed a sleek food storage solution using 3D printing and clay materials.
Optomec, a metal additive manufacturing company based in New Mexico, has revealed that over 10 million turbine blades have been refurbished or repaired using its metal 3D printing technology. The company realized the milestone after conducting a survey of over 100 customer installations using its metal AM systems for gas turbine component repair.
CT imaging has emerged as a valuable weapon in the war against the novel coronavirus, because of the modality’s ability to detect the “ground glass” white spots in the lungs that are a sign of COVID-19. To support patient access to CT exams, Dunlee has increased 3D printing of tungsten anti-scatter grids, which are an important component of quality CT systems. With a thickness of only 100 microns, Dunlee’s anti-scatter grid significantly improve CT images by absorbing scatter radiation that can degrade image quality.
KULR Technology Group, a company that manufactures next-gen carbon fiber thermal management technologies for batteries and electronic systems, has entered into a dual-use technology development agreement with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to develop 3D printed battery systems for manned and robotic space applications.
Scientists have developed a method of 3D printing green buildings using local soil, which they say h ...
