News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Over the past few years several academic studies and industry stories have been written regarding the known health hazards associated with desktop FDM 3D printers. The dangers posed to us by the release of nanoparticles and ultrafine particles (NP/UFP), as well as volatile organic compounds (VOC) is beginning to be documented and studied. But […]

Scientists working at GE labs in upstate New York have spent decades building computer vision systems that can study diseased tissue, and hunt for microscopic cracks in machine parts and other features often invisible to the naked eye. Now Vinciquerra and his team are using their insights toward improving the way 3D printers work and accelerating 3D printing.
XJet is launching its newest, breakthrough XJet Carmel AM System product line – comprising the Carmel 1400 and the Carmel 700 AM systems – at upcoming formnext show in Frankfurt. The company is also announcing an in depth collaboration with its first commercial customer, a very large, European advanced manufacturing group.
Our friends and media partners at 3D Today, the leading 3D printing news website in Russia, are exclusively reporting on the first residential house in Europe and the CIS, that was just built in Yaroslavl (Russia) using AMT-SPECAVIA’s 3D construction printing technology. 3D construction printing consists of creating the 3D model on the computer, dividing the model into layers in cross section, layer-by-layer extrusion of the cement-based mixture in accordance with the model, solidifying of the material until the completion of the object.
3ntr, manufacturers of the most reliable, industrial grade filament extrusion 3D printers, are releasing a new software tool to further streamline the 3D printing experience on its A2 and A4 systems. The new SSI (Smart Slicing Interface) sets a new standard in terms of user experience by providing industrial adopters with quick, safe and effective access to the highest quality prints with minimal effort.
A cooperative effort between Thermwood Corporation, Applied Composite Engineering (ACE), Techmer PM and Purdue University’s Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Center has produced a composite helicopter part using a 3D Printed Polysulfone (PSU) mold.
