3D printing news

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is behind a project called 3D-PAWS (3D Printed Automatic Weather Station), which uses 3D printing to design tools and instruments to enable earlier detection of high-impact weather events. The teams are presenting their…

Among the application sectors in which we find additive manufacturing technologies, the automotive industry is one that is most taking advantage of them. AM allows large automotive companies to reduce costs, time and weight when producing complex parts. In addition,…

Just recently, we illustrated what life in space could potentially look like, introducing various applications such as spacesuits, habitats and even patches. All of which can be 3D printed on the spot. Now, researchers from the Department of Physics and…

It’s the special time of the week again and you know what that means! Like every Sunday, we present you with what’s new and exciting throughout the world of 3D printing. We start off with a video that takes a…

In recent years, the number of 3D printed shoes has increased rapidly. The number has become even so significant, that earlier this year, 3D printer manufacturer Sintratec organized the 3D Printing Shoe Design Contest, a competition that, as the name…

The growing impact of additive manufacturing has been well documented over the past couple of years. Indeed, during the pandemic, not only did 3D printing play a critical role in repairing vulnerabilities in supply chains especially in the medical sector…

When it comes to exploring the unknown, what better than innovative, flexible technologies which can adapt to any need? For that reason, one of the largest adopters of additive manufacturing in the past few years have been organizations working on…

To anyone in the 3D printing industry, the American-Israeli company Stratasys should be well known. Having been one of the pioneer manufacturers since its founding in 1989, Stratasys has already produced a variety of different types of 3D printing devices,…

Sustainable packaging has become an end-to-end business solution, and increasingly we are seeing the possibilities for 3D printing in the sector. The 3D printing manufacturing cycle of digitally designing packaging and using environmentally conscious materials results in high-quality products that…

Vienna-based start-up Viewpointsystem has been working intensively on a solution to bring man and machine closer than ever before. The result: forward-looking smart glasses made with scientific know-how in the field of optics. However, what exactly is the contribution of…

Alquist 3D recently announced that it would be building 200 new 3D printed homes in Virginia. The Virginia-based company aims to lower the cost of housing and infrastructure in economically troubled communities with the so-called Project Virginia, which it claims…

Divergent successfully raised $160 million last week to continue creating automotive parts using additive manufacturing. The company has developed a software solution and automated assembly system, called Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS®), to design almost all the components of a…
