Growing demand for fewer companies, the state of jewelry AM at Vicenza Oro T-Gold 3D Printing Events

by Consumer

As always, the original Vicenza Oro 2019 jewelry fair, the one that actually takes place in Vicenza, Italy (one of the primary global hubs for jewelry manufacturing), offered a clear cut view of what the state of the art in jewelry 3D printing has to offer. While the benefits of implementing AM, either for investment casting or direct precious metal powder production, are now clearer than ever, the segment still struggles with making investments on technology. For this reason, the use of 3D printing as a service is now becoming the dominant path for most innovative jewelers to access the future of jewelry manufacturing and the growing demand for more complex and original geometries.

Relativity Space to launch 3D printed rockets from Cape Canaveral site Aerospace

by Aerospace

Relativity Space, an aerospace startup with a focus on 3D printed rockets, recently penned a deal with the U.S. Air Force to begin launching its rockets from the Launch Complex 16 at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Launch Complex 16, also known as LC-16, is something of a historic site: it was built in the late 1950s to launch LGM-25 Titan missiles, was used by NASA for some time and has not seen a launch since 1988’s Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
