WASP 3D prints Carbon Fiber parts on demand for Italian Speed Championship Additive Manufacturing

by Automotive

WASP, the first and leading Italian manufacturer of advanced Delta 3D printers, has been pushing the additive manufacturing industry in new directions since it was founded by Massimo Moretti in 2012. The company’s latest evolutions are now heading towards leveraging the consolidated and highly reliable kinematics of its delta systems to address industrial-level end-use part production. With the introduction of the new Delta WASP INDUSTRIAL 4.0 line, the company supports the use of production-grade materials – such as Nylon Carbon – for a growing range of products. One such application highlights the versatility and accessibility of the Delta WASP 2040 INDUSTRIAL 4.0 for a racing team – competing in the Campionato Italiano Velocità (Italian Speed ​​Championship) – to bring, for the first time, a 3D printer inside the box, producing real racing parts.

TU Delft researcher 3D prints tuna-inspired underwater drone Robotics

by Consumer

Underwater aquatic research seems to be taking up a new motto: do as the fish do! There is an undeniable trend in the field to explore the development of new research tools that not only blend into the aquatic environment more easily but also mimic deep sea residents. For example, MIT created a robotic fish called SoFi, and even more recently a student at TU Delft utilized 3D printing to create a robotic fish that swims through water like a tuna.
