GE Voluson E10 Ultrasound System Has Built-in Support for 3D Printing 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

In 2015, Roland Rott got wind of a Brazilian doctor who was 3D printing fetal ultrasound images so that blind parents could “feel” their babies. The process of creating the models was cumbersome, but Rott saw its potential. So he challenged his team of engineers at GE Healthcare to come up with a way to convert these images swiftly and easily. The result: the GE Voluson E10, the world’s first ultrasound system to have built-in 3D printing capability.

The Cazza X1 is a 3D printing robot used to build houses, villas, shelters, warehouses, prefab modules, commercial buildings and free-standing structures up to 5m in height. Cazza robots can reduce the time and cost of building by traditional methods. In the case of constructing a 2000 square foot two story house, it would take 8 days and be up to 30% more cost effective in comparison to traditional build methods.

NASA tests first 3D printed rocket engine part made with two different metal alloys 3D Printing Processes

by Aerospace

NASA tests conducted by engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, focused on NASA’s first 3D printed rocket engine prototype part made of two different metal alloys through an innovative advanced manufacturing process. NASA has been making and evaluating durable 3D printed rocket parts made of one metal, but the technique of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, with more than one metal, is significantly more difficult and has not yet been achieved with any commercially available technology.
