Hamilton Labs launches entry-level construction 3D printer Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Singapore-based construction 3D printing company Hamilton Labs has dedicated a portion of its work to the development and production of sanitation systems—such as household and community toilets—to improve public health in India. The company’s work, a response to the Indian government’s Swachh Bharat Mission (which translates to “Clean India Mission”), is now being taken to the next level with the launch of an entry level, gantry-based concrete 3D printer.

Stratasys teams up with UK’s Angel Trains to bring 3D printed parts to the rails Transportation

by Business

While much of the focus of industrial additive manufacturing is on the aerospace, automotive and medical sectors, there is another industry that is chugging along with its adoption of 3D printing: the rail industry. Today, the intersection between AM and the railway sector has been further reinforced, as Angel Trains, a leading train leasing company in the UK, has announced a partnership with ESG Rail and 3D printing company Stratasys.

Harvard Wyss researchers develop 3D printing workflow to predict leaky heart valves Medical

by Medical

Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have created a novel 3D printing workflow that allows cardiologists to evaluate how different heart valve sizes will interact with each patient’s unique anatomy before the medical procedure is actually performed. The possibility of using material jetting 3D printing to produce more proficient implantable heart valves has been amply demonstrated. In this research project, the scientists also demonstrate that 3D printing can be used as a key tool to design even more accurate replacement valves, reducing time requirements on the operating table and improving the patient’s quality of life and recovery.
