News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
With every small step ahead in NASA’s 3D Printed Habitat Challenge, the world gets a little bit closer to taking the giant leap of putting humans on Mars. Most recently, NASA awarded the top three teams in the Complete Virtual Construction phase of the challenge: SEArch+/Apis Cor, Zopherus and Mars Incubator.
The XXII Triennale di Milano, Broken Nature: Design Takes on Human Survival, highlights the concept of restorative design and studies the state of the threads that connect humans to their natural environments. Broken Nature is composed of a thematic exhibition and a number of international participants solicited through official channels. As much as the exhibit focuses on nature and sustainability, several of the artworks on display made intensive use of 3D printing as a mean of producing objects in a more environmentally conscious manner and/or with more environmentally friendly materials.
Exactly 100 years after the Bauhaus movement was founded, 3D print platform Aectual teamed up with famed studio DUS architects to create a novel Tiny Bauhaus building that introduces revolutionary mass-customization building techniques.
Just weeks ago, Danish 3D printing construction company COBOD International (a spin-out of 3D Printhuset) deployed the largest 3D construction printer on the market to Saudi Arabia. Now, the company has reported that something slightly closer to home is being built using its additive manufacturing platform. Kamp C, the Center for Sustainability and Innovation in the Belgian Flemish province, recently installed the BOD2 3D printer and will soon begin construction of a two-storey building.

Desktop 3D printer manufacturer XYZprinting is hoping to broaden the use of additive manufacturing in education with a new bundle program. The initiative, targeted at teachers and schools, provides a free 3D printer with the purchase of the XYZPrinting K-12 STEAM curriculum.
America Makes, the United States’ National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, has announced a second Satellite Center, which will be based at the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES)—already an America Makes platinum-level member. Plans for the new center were made official at an MOU signing event between America Makes and TEES last week.
German chemical company WACKER has opened its first ACEO Open Print Lab in the U.S. The new facility is based at WACKER’s Silicone R&D lab in Ann Arbor, MI and houses additive manufacturing systems capable of processing silicone rubber materials with a broad range of Shore A hardnesses and colors. The new ACEO print lab will provide customers with first-hand tutorials and hands-on training for silicone rubber 3D printing.
