News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
In order to drive innovation forward in space manufacturing technology and space orbital debris mitigation and remediation, Enterprise In Space (EIS), a non-profit program of the National Space Society (NSS), challenged university students from around the world in two NewSpace competitions.
Ackuretta Technologies, a leading innovator and manufacturer of professional grade 3D printers and materials, has announced the global availability of the Ackuray A96 and A135 3D printers. Based on digital light processing (DLP) technology and built with components that offer full auto calibration, the Ackuray series provides high-precision, speed and reliability.
The thylacine’s existence in mainland Australia was brought to a halt roughly 2000 years ago. This extinction was believed to have been caused by competition from indigenous Australians as well as the dingo, which became the preferred hunting companion of the indigenous. Although the thylacine sported a stronger build than the dingo a comparison of the skulls of both animals showed that even though the dingo possessed a weaker bite its skull could withstand more stress making it able to bring down larger prey more effectively. The above factors in combination with a highly selective diet and poor genetic diversity are believed to be responsible for the thylacine’s extinction in mainland Australia.

Aviation and defense parts manufacturer Safran and industrial 3D printer manufacturer Prodways Group are teaming up accelerate development of additive manufacturing (3D printing) materials and processes.
The list of materials that can be produced by 3D printing has grown to include not just plastics but also metal, glass, and even food. Now, MIT researchers are expanding the list further, with the design of a system that can 3D print the basic structure of an entire building. One interesting question that comes up is whether this system will be combined wiht Neri Oxman group’s glass 3D printing technology, thus enabling a truly integrated process for 3D printing buildings
