Global maritime company Wilhelmsen has demonstrated its commitment to the adoption of additive manufacturing over the past several months. Last December, for instance, the company launched an early adopter program (EAP) for 3D printing spare parts for the maritime industry. Then, in February, it completed the first commercial delivery of 3D printed spare parts to a Berge Bulk ship. Now, Wilhelmsen has entered into a collaboration which will facilitate the delivery of 3D printed spare parts to its off-shore customers.
As part of its Additive Alliance Against Corona initiative, SLM Solutions used its metal 3D printing technology to produce plastic injection tooling molds to mass manufacture face shield headbands for the Manufacturing & Advocacy Growth Network (MAGNET), a manufacturing consulting firm in Ohio. SLM Solutions 3D printed the molds in its Wixom, Michigan facility enabling MAGNET to save time and money in additively manufacturing the tooling needed to produce the face shields quickly.
There is an ongoing need to continue COVID-19 tests around the world, to track how the virus is still spreading and to prevent more major outbreaks. As we learned this week, 3D printing not only has a role to play in the production of medical-grade swabs for COVID-19 diagnostics, but it can also help to train non-medical workers to administer the tests, so that they can be scaled up. Singapore-based Creatz3D recently unveiled a 3D printed manikin designed specifically for COVID-19 swab training, and now French company BONE 3D is also stepping up with its own testing model.
Over the past few months, the COVID-19 pandemic has made some things absolutely clear. Among them is the importance of essential service jobs like medical staff, grocery store employees, delivery people and transit workers. While many people have had the opportunity to work from home in this challenging time, people in these positions have really kept society afloat, and that has come with a personal health risk. Recognizing this risk, a team from Seattle Children’s decided that its shuttle bus drivers needed to be protected from the virus. A unique solution, consisting of a bespoke protective door, was developed by GoProto and Function Foundry with the help of 3D printing.
