UK’s MTC purchases Nano Dimension LDM electronics 3D printer Electronics

by Business

Nano Dimension Ltd. announced today that the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) became the first R&D facility in the United Kingdom to purchase Nano Dimension’s DragonFly LDM precision additive manufacturing system for electronics. MTC will use the cutting-edge Lights-Out Digital Manufacturing System to additively build electronic components, such as multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), antennas and sensors. This sale demonstrates the growing interest among UK and European R&D institutions in the DragonFly LDM technology as a viable means to bring next generation electronic products and solutions to market.

Renishaw 3D prints manifold for Brunel Racing Formula Student race car Additive Manufacturing

by Automotive

As professional racing and motorsports are relying more and more on additive manufacturing technologies, it only makes sense that the trend would also pick up in student-led racing teams. This year, for instance, the Brunel University London team competed in a number of Formula Student (FS) races with a car that was partially constructed using metal 3D printing. The race car, the BR-XX, was developed in collaboration with UK-based metal AM company Renishaw, which helped in the production of a 3D printed manifold part.

GXN envisions autonomous 3D printers (and bioprinters) that crawl, fly and dive Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

GXN Innovation, an independent research company created by Danish architecture firm 3XN released its future vision for autonomous 3D printers. In this latest conceptual experiment involving additive manufacturing – part of the “Break the Grid” project – the firm was supported by the Dansk AM Hub, a government-supported Denmark’s platform that supports experimentation in additive manufacturing, and by MAP Architects. The result is swarms flying and diving 3D printing extrusion systems that can work autonomously to build and repair complex structures on land and in the sea.
