Renishaw produces a prototype nose tip for the BLOODHOUND supersonic car 3D Printing Processes

BLOODHOUND’s aim is not only to break the sound barrier but also to be the first land vehicle to exceed 1000 miles per hour (1609 km/hr) – at this speed it will be travelling the length of 4.5 football pitches every second. The majority of the cockpit and nose is made from carbon fibre reinforced epoxy. During the record attempt the car will experience more than 20000 kg of skin drag. However as the nose tip is on the ‘leading edge’ it will experience a greater proportion of this load; up to 12000 kg/m².

3D Printlife Launches Online 3D Printing Support (Social) Network 3D Printing Processes

There are online networks for 3D printing services and for 3D design and for selling 3D printed products. However one network that was certainly missing – and direly needed – until today was a functional network to ensure capillary 3D printing support to all 3D printer owners, whether they are consumers, prosumers or even small enterprises. That is why sustainable 3D printing filament leader 3D Printlife is launching its new Lifesupport network at CES 2017.
