News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
As a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, Richard Trimlett knows a few things about the heart. He and his colleagues in the U.K. perform 35,000 heart surgeries every year on average. Trimlett typically begins an open-heart surgery by stabilizing the heart with a suction device. But a minimally invasive procedure called keyhole heart surgery is even more delicate.
Dutch 3D printing designer Anouk Wipprecht has made headlines with her 3D printed and interactive SmokeDress, SpiderDress and Drinkbot Dress. Her latest creation – the SpeakerDress – becomes your own eerie wearable Boombox.
Sending satellites into orbit is both expensive and complex. Breaking free of Earth’s orbit is costly and the extreme conditions of space can be difficult to endure. This means that satellite parts need to be both very light and very strong. The advantages of additive manufacturing for space applications are evident and the entire space industry is excited about the possibilities that 3D printing can offer. Some of the latest solutions developed available in the market for payload components will be presented at IN(3D)USTRY next October 3-5 at Fira de Barcelona.
Additive manufacturing processes and blockchain technology are currently seen as some of the ...
Nano Dimension, a leader in the field of 3D printed electronics, has received grant approval from the Israel Innovation Authority, which will be used to finance a project to develop 3D printing of electronic modules for space applications. The total approved budget for this project is approximately $87,000 (NIS 309,000), of which the Israel Innovation Authority will finance 50%. According to the terms of the grant, Nano Dimension will pay royalties on future sales up to the full grant amount.
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.
Renishaw, a global engineering company specialising in metrology and metal 3D printing, was born out of the aerospace business and its efforts in advancing the manufacturing of complex components have never stopped. Its Spanish subsidiary Renishaw Ibérica, S.A.U. is working with a unique selection of other Spanish engineering companies and research centres in a ground-breaking project which could change the way aerospace turbines are manufactured forever.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, is rapidly growing into a top hub for 3D printing, as more and more additive manufacturers are flocking to the city to take advantage of the city’s entrepreneurial culture and resources, 3D printing talent and metro-wide gigabit service.
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.
