News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
San Francisco company Origin is one of a handful of 3D printing companies that set out to develop and mass produce 3D printed nasopharyngeal testing swabs for COVID-19 diagnosis. This effort was a direct response to a lack of conventional swabs; stores of the traditional swabs, only produced by a select group of companies around the globe, were rapidly depleted as countries around the world ramped up COVID-19 testing.
Rocket Lab, one of the space industry’s unicorn startups, successfully launched its Electron rocket to deliver a payload of satellites to orbit in the Don’t Stop Me Now mission. Rocket Lab is known for its massive use of additive manufacturing in the production of the Electron rocket’s propulsion system, the Rutherford Engine. The rocket launched, as scheduled, on June 13th, from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

It is no surprise to those in the AM industry that additive has the power to dramatically speed up product development times. However, it is always interesting to see exactly how it happens, especially in cases where time is of the essence. The Rise Emergency Ventilator, developed in just 21 days to meet the dire need in hospitals, is one such example.
Yokohama, Japan-based 3D Printing Corporation Co., Ltd signed a general agency contract to start equipment sales and contract manufacturing services for AON3D‘s high-performance plastic 3D printer AON-M2.
Launcher, an NYC startup developing the world’s most efficient rocket to deliver small satellites to orbit, started by leveraging 3D printing to develop a high-performance propulsion system. In no segment like the space industry segment, 3D printing is enabling small teams to get into the game and compete with industrial giants on getting stuff into orbit. Now the company is ready to move on to the next stage: avionics, and to do so, having established a valid and credible proposition, it was able to attract NASA JPL & SpaceX veterans Kevin Watson and Rich Petras.
Intech Additive Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (formerly Intech DMLS), a metal additive manufacturing company based in Bangalore, has appointed Pradeep Nair as Vice President of Hardware Sales for APAC and ME Asia. Nair is a veteran of the AM industry and played a vital role in introducing the technology to the Indian and ASEAN markets in the mid 1990s.
Wematter’s office-friendly Gravity SLS printer just got a new software upgrade, with Deep Space 2.0. This increases productivity in a variety of ways for designers, hospitals, orthopedics and production technicians who want to take their CAD-models to the prototype stage or final production.
