The motorsport department at BMW has long worked hand in hand with series development – and this remains the case for the quality controls on the newly-constructed BMW M4 DTM for the 2017 season. BMW Motorsport uses the same cutting-edge 3D measuring technology that is applied to production models at the BMW Group Plant Munich.
A cartilage-mimicking material created by researchers at Duke University may one day allow surgeons to 3D print parts for knee reconstruction that are custom-shaped to each patient’s anatomy. The study was published on the ACS Biomaterials journal.
Metal 3D printing technology is gaining more and more traction in the industrial field. The aerostructures supplier Premium AEROTEC holds a leading position within its sector for this technology. To consolidate this position and to expand the company’s capabilities beyond aviation, Premium AEROTEC is starting a joint project with experienced partners EOS, the leading technology supplier for industrial 3D printing, and Daimler, the renowned automotive manufacturer. Together, they will develop the next generation of additive manufacturing (AM) in their NextGenAM project. Via this cooperation, the companies are laying the foundations for the implementation of this technology in large-scale serial manufacturing.
Sigma Labs, an OTCQB listed provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D brand has received a contract from Solar Turbines Incorporated, a subsidiary of Caterpillar located in San Diego, California. Solar Turbines will implement Sigma Labs’ In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) technology for the production of gas turbine components using metal additive manufacturing. The division makes mid-size industrial turbines for use in electric power generation, gas compression, and pumping systems. Sigma Labs will initially install its PrintRite3D software on a 3D Systems’ ProX300 machine, with the potential for multiple system orders as the company ramps up to full serial production.
The Renault RS 2027 F1 concept is Renault’s vision of what Formula 1 cars could look like in 10 years: ultra light, safe, powerful and — almost redundantly — crazy cool. I mean, just look at it.
