News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Canadian additive manufacturing company Burloak Technologies is teaming up with Safran Landing Systems, a leader in aircraft landing and braking technology, to develop 3D printed aircraft landing gear components. The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) through which they will collaborate on AM research and technology studies and on process development and commercial production.
Turkish aerospace company TUSAŞ Engine Industries, Inc. (TEI) is ramping up its metal additive capacity with the investment in two M LINE Factory and two M2 cusing 3D printers from GE Additive. The investment in GE Additive’s direct metal laser melting (DMLM) systems was announced today at the Paris Air Show.
CyBe Construction, a Dutch specialist in concrete 3D printing, has been selected as the technology provider for a 3D printed house project in the UAE. The house will be built as part of the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) initiative which aims to 3D print a series of buildings in the area with the goal of transforming the city of Sharjah into an architectural hub.
June is the aerospace additive manufacturing month this year, not just at 3dpbm but also all over the world thanks to the upcoming International Paris Air Show – SIAE 2019 – in Le Bourget. During the next two weeks, as part of our AM Focus on aerospace applications, we will take you to see the latest news at the Paris Space and Aerospace Show and then we will welcome you to our exclusive webinar with the participation of aerospace additive manufacturing experts from leading stakeholders in the AM industry.
SLM®500 quad-laser machines have been selected by Rolls-Royce to help develop its Additive Layer Manufacturing capability. The machines will play an important role in helping Rolls-Royce in the competitive adoption of additive layer manufacturing for aerospace components.
The Paris Air Show, aka SIAE 2019, aka Salon Le Bourget, is opening today for its 53rd edition, the most AM-centric in the century-long history of the event. We will be bringing you video and photo reportages from all AM activity at Salon Le Bourget over the next few days. In the meantime, if you are attending, here are is some key info you should know.
With the growing popularity of baking and confectionary shows (Bake Off is my personal favorite), there is also a growing trend in amateur baking. If you—like me—fall into the category of people who try their hand at making candies and bakes but are lacking in some…well, skill, a new piece of 3D printing hardware on Kickstarter could help you up your plating game.
A small team of researchers from the Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences (COPPS) is eyeing a future in which human corneas can be 3D printed with ease. Recently, the team accomplished a first in the United States by 3D printing a cornea using a high performance machine.
