How major automakers use AM for production today, part 3: Daimler Benz additive manufacturing 3D Printing Processes

by Automotive

During this month’s AM Focus Automotive, we are going to map the most accurate and up to date scenario for automotive additive manufacturing in final part production. We present an analysis of the latest progress made by each major automaker group and some of the key activities—either publicly disclosed or confirmed by reliable sources. Now it’s time for Daimler Benz additive manufacturing. In this first two episodes, we took a look at Volkswagen and General Motors. The next episodes will zoom in on Ford, BWM, PSA, FCA and JLR.

SQ4D completes construction of 1,900-sq-ft 3D printed home Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

SQ4D has upped the ante in the American construction 3D printing game. The company, which last July unveiled a 500-square-foot home it 3D printed in under 12 hours, has just completed the construction of an even more impressive structure. The new building, 3D printed in just 48 hours (over an eight day period), spans 1,900 square feet and cost less than $6,000 in materials to build.

One step closer to 3D bioprinting a prosthetic ovary Medical

by Medical

A group of scientists has achieved a significant milestone in the development of a 3D printed and implantable artificial ovary, which could enable infertile women to become pregnant. For the first time ever, the team has identified and mapped structural proteins within a pig ovary, which will facilitate the development of an ink for bioprinting the important reproductive organ for humans.
