Advanced technology being developed by a global consortium of companies and academic institutions could revolutionise the use of industrial additive manufacturing – also known as 3D printing – in the UK, bringing the advanced manufacturing of high-value components for key industries to the country for the first time.
The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (“AMGTA”), a global advocacy group focused on promoting sustainable additive manufacturing (AM) industry practices, announced today the preliminary results of a life-cycle analysis study titled “Comparative Life-Cycle Assessment: Comparison of Casting vs Binder Jetting for an Industrial Part.”
Balena, the material science company aimed at making advanced biodegradable polymer materials for a more sustainable fashion industry, today announced an exciting partnership with acclaimed designer Kitty Shukman to create a unique 3D-printed concept slide with a natural kick: ROOTS.
Complex items require a lot of 2D layers to be laid down during the 3D printing process, therefore this procedure normally takes a long time. The technique typically results in significant material waste since it has to support the incomplete item.
For the first time in the world, a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology has the potential of eradicating cancer cells with the use of the immune cells’ function has been developed.
Scientists have built a highly electrically conductive metallic gel that could be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature.
Can biodegradable sensors and displays be 3D printed? Empa’s Cellulose & Wood Materials laboratory has created a cellulose-based material that enables the same.
A recently installed 3D ceramics printer offers Penn State materials researchers advanced capabilities to easily produce high-resolution ceramic parts and other innovative ceramics for cutting-edge materials research at a lower cost than sourcing them.
Velo3D, Inc., a top metal additive manufacturing technology company for mission-critical parts, today announced that Avio S.p.A., a leading aerospace company listed on the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange, has purchased a Sapphire XC 1MZ printer and an original Sapphire printer to support the development and production of its propulsion systems and accelerate the advancement of the space industry.
