News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
As 3D printing evolves and matures, so to do the expectations surrounding it. In order to meet these growing expectations and to address an increasing number of use cases for 3D printing—in prototyping and end-use production—it is important to recognize that the 3D printer itself is just part of the equation. A key element is also material selection, in this case SLS powder materials.
The Tainan branch of Taiwan Everplast Machinery Co., Ltd. cooperated with C-Hub of Cheng Kung University this year to research cement-based 3D printing technology. One of the results of the study is the development of a pellet cement-like material to use in extrusion 3D printing of furniture structures.
Researchers from the University of Manchester have developed a simple and cheap method for repairing broken limbs using 3D printed “bone brick”, in response to the need for urgent medical care in Syrian refugee camps.
