News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Space Systems Loral (SSL), a leading provider of innovative satellites and spacecraft systems, has successfully introduced next-generation design and manufacturing techniques for structural components into its popular SSL 1300 geostationary satellite platform.
Following the integration of 3D printing as part of its digital services portfolio, Siemens has achieved an industry breakthrough with the first successful commercial installation and continuing safe operation of a 3D printed part in a nuclear power plant. Because of the stringent safety and reliability requirements in the nuclear sector, achieving this qualification is a significant accomplishment.
Stratasys, the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions market leader, today announced enrollment is now open for 3DHEART, an investigator initiated trial. 3DHEART, which stands for 3D Hearts Enabling A Randomized Trial, is a randomized, single-blind clinical trial to study the use of patient-specific 3D printed models in pre-operative planning for pediatric heart surgery. Stratasys is providing in-kind support with printing of the models to be used in the trial.
Identify3D announced it has completed its multi-million Series Seed investment round led by SoftTech VC. Among other investors participating in the round are the pre-seed lead investor Bee Partners, and international investors including Siemens Venture Capital GmbH, which is now a part of next47, the venture capital, advisor and catalyst into Siemens for external startups, La Famiglia, whose LP’s include large European Industrial families such as Krohne, Miele and Viessman, and DART Capital Partners, an Australian based venture capital group focused on Digital and Additive Manufacturing opportunities. Capital raised will help the company meet demand from its existing customer base in aerospace and defense and expand to meet the needs of other advanced manufacturing sectors including power generation, oil and gas, transportation and healthcare.
Even top designer Patrick Starck said it: 3D printing could resurrect design by making it on-demand. However there haven’t been many high quality design product made on-demand with 3D printing yet. The trend has been slowly picking up – with some notable recent examples such as OTHR – and the T3TRA speaker that design studio Alienology just launched on Kickstarter might offer yet another indication.
For the past two years a conglomerate of trade associations, industry, government and academia have been collaborating on the world’s first operational 3D printed excavator. That project made a giant leap forward with the recent printing of a prototype that leveraged large-scale additive manufacturing technologies and further explores the feasibility of printing with metal alloys. The fully operational 3D printed excavator is on display at the IFPE show in Las Vega Nevada until March 11th.
Massivit 3D Printing Technologies, the company that is disrupting large format 3D printing with its gel deposition technology (a hybrid between extrusion and photopolymerization processes) will showcase the extensive sign & display applications achievable with its market-leading 3D printing technology at ISA Sign Expo, from 20-22 April at Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Showcasing a range of […]
The ACTLAB experimental architecture laboratory at Politecnico di Milano University is presenting a preview of its Trabeculae Pavilion at Made Expo 2017, an experimental architecture that fuses 3D Printing with biomimetic research. The innovative prototype of lightweight architecture, which demonstrates the revolutionary potential of computational design and 3D printing for constructions, will be on display at the BSmart! area, in Pavilion 10 of Fiera Milano-Rho,
The compact and powerful Mlab cusing 200R, which was unveiled for the first time at formnext powered by TCT last year, is garnering a big response in the market even before the first machine has been delivered. The dental labs Fresdental, Ziacom and Deltacadcam, all based in Spain, have each already placed at least one […]
