Hello, Robot Exhibit Explores Our Relationships With Machines 3D Printing Processes

by Consumer

Whether in the form of delivery drones, smart sensors, or Industry 4.0 — in recent years, robotics has found its way into our everyday lives, changing them in fundamental ways. Design has a central role to play in this process, for it is designers who shape the interfaces between humans and machines. From 11 February to 14 May 2017, the Vitra Design Museum will present a major exhibition that examines the current boom in robotics in detail for the first time. Hello, Robot. Design between Human and Machine will comprise more than 200 exhibits from the fields of design and art and will include robots used in the home, in nursing care, and in industry as well as computer games, media installations, and examples of films and literature in which robots feature.

GE Invests $4.3 Billion Toward New Factories in the US to Build Jet Engine with 3D Printed Parts 3D Printing Processes

by Aerospace

The GE9X jet engine that GE Aviation is developing for Boeing’s next-generation wide-body passenger jet, the 777X, is wider than the body of a Boeing 737 and more powerful than America’s first manned space rocket. It’s also a big deal for the company’s business. Although the world’s largest engine isn’t scheduled to enter service until around 2020, the company already has recorded some 700 orders and commitments valued at $28 billion at list price. For the first time, the engine will include a variety of 3D printed parts and the latest composite materials, including the light and heat-resistant space-age materials called ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs).
