News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Youngstown State University now has commercial equipment representing all seven methods of 3D printing, believed to be the first such technological milestone in the eastern United States.
EUTELSAT 172B, the first high-power all-electric telecommunications satellite worldwide has been successfully launched from Kourou, French Guiana on an Ariane 5 space vehicle. Additive layer manufacturing, or 3D printing, played a key part in several elements on this satellite, including for a single printed bracket that is 35% lighter than and quicker to manufacture than the complex component it replaced.
Prodways Group, a subsidiary of Groupe Gorgé, announces the successful commercial development of its portfolio of solutions for the footwear industry. As sport shoe manufacturers are looking for ways to accelerate new product launches, create more versatile footwear and provide enhanced performance to their customers, Prodways Group’s unique 3D printing solutions open up new horizons for the industrial production of 3D printed footwear.
In preparation for the launch of the innovative, Fuse 1 desktop SLS system, Formlabs contacted leading 3D printing designers N-e-r-v-o-u-s S-y-s-t-e-m about using some of their Kinematics dress designs for their new secret project. They were particularly interested in printing a Kinematics garments, but the Fuse 1 machine is MUCH smaller than the 3D printer that fabricated previous Nervous Systems garments.
More than 400 schools will receive 3D printers as a part of the GE Additive Education Program, reaching more than 180,000 students around the globe. Committed to developing pipelines of future talent in additive manufacturing around the world, GE will send a desktop polymer printer package to about 400 primary and secondary schools and a metal printing machine to eight colleges or universities.
