3D printing news

In this week’s 3DExpress series, we review some of the most important news in the 3D printing sector. This time, we will talk about a 3D printed play structure in the shape of a Möbius Strip that has been installed…

Space is an extreme environment where dangers abound, and radiation is one of them. During space missions, astronauts and their equipment are exposed to much higher radiation than on Earth. Without appropriate protection, the equipment could malfunction. As for astronauts,…

Sound insulation is something that often goes unnoticed in our daily lives. However, it is incredibly important, not just in the construction of buildings, homes or hospitals, but also in the development of automobiles or in industrial environments. And now…

Bioprinting, which involves 3D printing living tissue models, holds incredible promise for medicine and biology. The technology helps researchers develop personalized medicine, engineer tissues and test drugs and cosmetics. Another application, while far-off, would be 3D printing functional human organs—a…

Throughout the day, we are surrounded by a variety of odors, some of which can be harmful to our health. Indeed, chemicals such as ammonia and chlorine can be particularly dangerous. The people most at risk are those who work…

Robotic arms—motorized, programmable and designed for precision—have long been a staple of industrial automation. With joints and articulations mimicking a human arm, they enhance efficiency in manufacturing by streamlining repetitive tasks. Sound familiar? These advantages parallel those of additive manufacturing.…

In 3D printing, resolution generally refers to the degree of detail and precision a printer can achieve when creating an object, but more specifically, it refers to the minimum feature size of the X, Y and Z axes. The XY…

The Royal Air Force (RAF) has just revealed an interesting partnership with Rolls-Royce, involving the use of additive manufacturing. Together, they are taking in the Tornado 2 Tempest program, which involves recycling spare parts from obsolete fighter aircraft and transforming…

RAPID + TCT 2025 is just around the corner! There are just under two months left until North America’s largest additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing event, taking place in Detroit, Michigan between April 8 and 10, 2025. And attendees…

Electric cars have been offered as sustainable vehicles for several years now, and Renault is one of the automakers that has joined in on the movement. Through a strategic plan they call “Renaulution,” the company wants “to restore profitability while…

Researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf have developed robotic wings inspired by the structure and flight dynamics of the monarch butterfly. Using 3D printing, they created wings that operate without batteries and with a…

Aerospace is one of the sectors where additive manufacturing has truly left its mark. This includes in telecommunications. Here, 3D printing makes it possible to develop antennas with improved designs and advanced materials. These antennas are essential for data transmission…
