3D printing news

Today, 3D printing applications in the disability sector are diverse, covering areas such as the manufacture of customized prostheses, custom hearing aids, and even adapted vehicles. The Parisian start-up Artha France, in partnership with Sculpteo, a major player in 3D…

Biru Cao and Yiqing Wang, two graduates from MIT, recently developed a new desktop 3D printer called FOODres.AI.The system combines artificial intelligence, object recognition, and additive manufacturing to convert household food waste such as fruit peels, coffee grounds, and leftover…

3D printing has increasingly captured the interest of people from all walks of life, whether for personal hobby projects or professional manufacturing in construction, the automotive industry, aerospace, medicine, and much more. One versatile area that spans both personal and…

Hidden away in the BFI National Archive, a 3D printer works tirelessly and quietly to help save film history. Since it was acquired nearly three years ago, the Formlabs Form 3L has allowed the Archive Technology team to reproduce long-obsolete…

Without slicing software, 3D printing is not possible. The slicer is the essential intermediate step between designing the model and printing it. It translates the 3D model into successive layers and generates the necessary instructions for the printer in the…

Additive manufacturing is increasingly being used by manufacturers to improve agility on the factory floor, but many still face bottlenecks caused by fragmented software workflows and the need for skilled engineering labor.  To address this challenge, Stratasys has integrated fixturemate…

3D printing has finally made its way into the iPhone! In this week’s 3DExpress, we’re covering stories that showcase the growing adoption of additive manufacturing: Siemens Energy reported its use of EOS 3D printers, Caracol announced an expanded presence in…

Students at ECE (École centrale d’électronique) in France, a renowned engineering school specializing in artificial intelligence, were recently greeted by a new classmate. Her name is Milo, and she is the first autonomous AI student in the country. She can…

Rosotics, a large-scale metal additive manufacturing company, announced last week that it has entered the fabrication and testing stage of a federal contract awarded by Fluor Marine Propulsion (FMP), LLC at the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, under the U.S. Department…

In Dessau, Germany, neurosurgeons at the Municipal Hospital implanted a so-called bioresorbable cranial prosthesis in a patient for the first time. The prosthesis was produced using 3D printing and represents a significant milestone in European medical technology. Until now, this…

This is not a concept car that can drive itself from point A to point B, nor is it just a futuristic gadget. We are presenting a prototype autonomous vehicle designed to enhance agricultural research, developed by the startup Lemki…

Space has always fascinated humanity, and the colonization of Mars and the Moon remains a major goal. To achieve this, it is necessary to process local resources under the conditions present there. 3D printing shows impressive potential in this area,…
