ORNL team improves CO2 absorption with 3D printed device Sustainability

A team from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory has invented a 3D printed absorption device made from aluminum that is capable of capturing carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel plants. The innovative device, which can also be used in other industrial processes, could help to curb global emissions of greenhouses gases like CO2 which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.

Honeywell receives FAA certification for first 3D printed flight-critical engine part Aerospace

Multinational conglomerate Honeywell announced this week that it has obtained the first FAA certification for a flight-critical aircraft engine component made using 3D printing. The part in question, #4/5 bearing housing, is a major structural component in the ATF3-6 turbofan engine aboard the Dassault Falcon 20G maritime patrol aircraft, commonly used by the French Navy for rescue and patrol missions. The 3D printed component is already in production and has reportedly already been installed in an in-service aircraft.
