ViscoTec Creates Two-Component 3D Printer Head for Liquids 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

ViscoTec makes it possible to print two-component liquids and pastes with maximum and consistent precision over the entire printing process: 3D printers have long been used in the industrial environment and are becoming even more interesting and lucrative for additive production thanks to further developments and increasing professionalism. For producing three-dimensional objects, thermoplastics, ceramics or metals are usually used. But in addition to the classical materials in 3D printing, viscous fluids and pastes based on a two-component polymer are increasingly used. These include, for example, silicones, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, acrylates and polyester resins.

Jay Leno Test Drives Divergent Blade, the Most 3D Printed Supercar Yet (Video) Additive Manufacturing

by Automotive

US talk show host, car lover and 3D printing enthusiast Jay Leno recently got the chance to get a close look and even test drive the Divergent Blade, the most 3D printed supercar ever built. Kevin Czinger, Founder & CEO of Divergent 3D, stopped by the garage to show Jay his 700 horsepower 3D printed ride. Thanks to Alex Polli from our Italian 3D printing news website Replicatore.it, for the tip!

Additively Manufactured Optical Ice Detector by GKN Aces In-Flight Test Aerospace

by Aerospace

GKN Aerospace has successfully flown an enhanced ice protection system (IPS) that allows for a more targeted and efficient defence against ice accretion. The UK company is the global leader in electro thermal IPS and flew its patented Optical Ice Detector (OID) on-board the Atmospheric Research Aircraft (ARA) operated by the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM), based at Cranfield, UK. The titanium probe housing was enabled by GKN’s laser powder bed manufacturing process.
