News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
A New Zealand veteran who was in a helicopter crash 10 years ago and has suffered from long-term injuries is now preparing to participate in the next Invictus Games thanks in part to 3D printing technologies. The New Zealand Defence Force has leveraged additive manufacturing to develop a customized cycling solution for the veteran, Stevin Creeggan.
Are you space and 3D printing enthusiast? Or a STEM educator, or an engineer with some free time, or an Elon Musk fan? Either way, you may want to 3D print your own replica of the Crew Dragon space capsule, the one that SpaceX successfully launched into orbit, with two humans abroad, making history just a few weeks ago. If so, two studios that specialize in 3D printable designs have something for you: a Crew Dragon replica.
The first orbital spaceflight from the United Kingdom is getting closer following the Highland Council’s decision to give the go-ahead for the Space Hub Sutherland spaceport. Orbex, the UK-based space launch company known for its large single-piece 3D printed rocket engine, has confirmed that Orbex Prime will be the first vertical launch vehicle to fly into orbit from the Space Hub, which will be constructed near Melness on the northern coast of Scotland. Orbex today confirmed the company has already signed six launch contracts.
Since it became accessible to hobbyists, 3D printing has been an essential tool for cosplayers, enabling them to create authentic replicas of even the most complex props from across fantasy and sci-fi worlds. Just take a scroll through Thingiverse to see some very creative and truly impressive cosplay projects. In fact, 3D printing has even helped pave the way for the creation of a cosplay-making industry, with skilled makers designing and creating custom projects for others. This is the case with Lightning Cosplay, a German company that creates tailored costumes for its customers using a range of processes, including 3D printing.
Thermwood, one of the three companies providing very large format 3D printing hardware and services with composite chopped FRP pellet materials, has designed, fabricated and put into operation the M400, the largest machine it has ever built, to meet the rapidly increasing demand of its LSAM (large size additive manufacturing) machines.
