Anisoprint and Thought3D team up to solve adhesion for carbon fiber 3D printing Materials

by Business

Seeing the first layer of your 3D printed part peel off mid-build is always disappointing, and results in wasted print time and materials. Thankfully, there are a handful of companies that have honed their expertise in chemicals and materials to develop 3D printing-specific adhesives to solve the scourge of the maker. One of those companies is Malta-based Thought3D, which offers a range of Magigoo adhesives for hobbyist and professional 3D printing materials.

3D printed Rely Bench by Joe Doucet protects pedestrians in Times Square Consumer Products

by Architecture

Following a spate of horrific vehicle-related terror incidents around the world in recent years, there has been a growing effort to find effective yet subtle ways to protect pedestrians in busy areas. In London, following the London Bridge attack in 2017, conspicuous metal and concrete barriers were installed on the city’s main bridges. Though effective, they are not the most elegant solution and have drawn their fair share of criticism. In New York City’s Times Square, designer Joe Doucet recently introduced an alternative protective barrier, that blends into the urban setting.

Nano Dimension and Harris Corp. taking 3D printed electronics to final frontier Electronics

by Aerospace

Last year, Nano Dimension and technology company Harris Corporation achieved a breakthrough in 3D printed electronics with the production of a radio frequency (RF) amplifier. Now, the companies will further their cooperation by jointly developing hardware destined for the International Space Station. The recent partnership, supported by a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority, aims to establish a systemic ground analysis of 3D printed materials for RF space systems, such as Nano-satellites.
