3D printing news

As metal additive manufacturing grows, it is not always easy to obtain high quality, high precision parts for specialized and demanding applications. That’s why a team of researchers at Saarland University in Germany has developed a non-contact process based on…

It’s already unusual to live in a house that floats, so imagine how it would be if it were 3D printed. This is the new concept developed in the Czech Republic: called Prvok, this small structure will not only have…

Even though additive manufacturing is moving beyond being a rapid prototyping technology, injection molding is still the most efficient way to mass produce plastics parts. Injection molding is therefore essential for mass-production of plastic parts with complex shapes. In order…

In the last ten years, metal additive manufacturing has taken hold in the industrial sector. Still largely used for prototyping, the technology is slowly reaching a state of maturity that will enable series production of end-use parts. Metal AM processes…

This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is changing production. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive – check our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! If you enjoy these, you…

What is the effect of the temperature of the 3D printing nozzle on the emission of toxic particles during the manufacturing process? This is the subject of new research conducted at Seoul National University: a team of scientists has tested…

In a new study from researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing, a design and model of a 3D printed cervix tissue implant with protein release function was created. This research should be beneficial to cervical cancer cases induced by human…

While 3D printing is gradually taking hold in our businesses and industries, it is still a technology that is difficult to grasp. Specific skills are required to enter this market, whether in terms of materials, equipment or design. A number…

Researchers from the Institute for High Performance Materials at Florida State University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering recently conducted a study that shows that using magnetic fields in the vicinity of a 3D printer can change the alignment of…

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a team of researchers is continuing its research to build a 3D printed nuclear reactor: they have designed the reactor core and intensified the entire additive manufacturing process to validate the reliability of the…

3D printing technologies can bring art and cultural heritage closer to people. Through exact replicas, experiencing artwork, buildings and artefacts has become easier. These replicas can be modeled from 3D scanning data, and then produced using additive manufacturing technologies. People…

3D printing software is one of the key aspects of the additive manufacturing workflow. One which many engineers rely on when designing and optimizing parts. In recent years, multiple companies have been developing software tools that allow greater customization (through…
