News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Formlabs, the designer and manufacturer of powerful and accessible 3D printing systems, today announced the appointment of technology veteran and former Autodesk executive Carl Bass as an independent director of the company. He has held a series of executive positions during his 24 year tenure at Autodesk, including 11 years as CEO.
What cloud-based Onshape is doing for CAD tooling to enable innovation, Generate is doing for optimizing designs. For example, after creating an inspirational CAD design, that file can be imported into Generate for further evolutions, with topology optimization in the cloud. Together with Onshape, Generate enables creation of complex parts quickly with the ability to constrain the optimization to different manufacturing techniques.
ETH researchers from the Functional Materials Laboratory have developed a silicone 3D printed heart that beats almost like a human heart. In collaboration with colleagues from the Product Development Group Zurich, they have tested how well it works. The artificial heart imitates a human heart as closely as possible.
With a global workforce of of 4,300 employees, including over 1,000 engineers, Spain-based AERNNOVA is one of the largest tier 1 suppliers for the civil aviation industry. The company has long been studying the possible solutions that additive manufacturing (which in the aerospace industry is usually referred to as additive layer manufacturing or ALM) can offer even for production of large and safety critical parts. As Dr. Miguel Á. Castillo Acero, VP Technology Development AERNNOVA exclusively anticipated, the company is now concentrating much of its R&D efforts on polymer AM/ALM solutions.
You might not have heard of Jabil but you probably have a product made by the company that you use daily in your home or office.
Starting on July 11th, 2017, Janne Kyttanen is hosting a pop-up on his website. For one month, until August 11th, 2017, the designer’s site will be transformed into a pop-up that will feature rare and limited edition works, 3D printed fashion and opulent furniture designs. For a limited time only the pop-up will sell works […]
As the first launch of an entirely new product line, Latvian 3D printer manufacturer Mass Portal is introducing a professional grade filament dryers for its desktop 3D printers.
The technology developed by researchers at West Virginia University (WVU) that helped them win the NASA Sample Return Robot Challenge may be headed to Mars.
AMATHO (A.dditive MA.nufacturing T.iltrotor HO.using) is aimed to design, assess and manufacture a novel tiltrotor drive system housing exploiting the features of additive manufacturing techniques. Preliminarily, functional, structural and technological peculiarities of rotorcraft main gearbox housings are analysed and relevant requirements are issued.
Eager to sustain its customers’ strong growth, in particular in automotive, 3D-printing, and in consumer goods markets such as sports and electronics, Arkema has made an investment plan of some 300 million euros over five years in the biosourced polyamide 11 chain. This major investment will enable the Group to increase by 50% its polyamide 11 global production capacities. The project falls in line with Arkema’s strategy to speed up its development in advanced materials, one of the key pillars of its future growth, sustained by a unique portfolio of innovations around the main sustainable development trends.
