Recently, CELLINK announced an exciting partnership with Made In Space to develop advanced bioprinting technology for space. The space company develops state-of-the-art space manufacturing technology to support exploration, national security, and sustainable space settlement. The two […]
The American manufacturer MakerBot made its comeback last year by presenting a new 3D printer called METHOD, it is a desktop machine, yet a professional solution. During Formnext 2019, the company launched an experimental extruder designed […]
3D Potter, based in Florida, manufactures dedicated ceramic 3D printers that can use real clay. Their 3D printers use a cardinal axis system, rather than a Delta printer configuration, which allows precise control with minimal effort […]
Today, additive manufacturing works with multiple different materials, yet glass is one of those materials that remains difficult to work with. Only a few groups of researchers around the world have attempted to produce glass objects […]
Renishaw, an engineering company based in the UK, is collaborating with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing to qualify new additive manufacturing (AM) materials for production applications. Sandvik has been in the news this year, notably when it unveiled […]
You might be aware that most commercial extrusion-based 3D printers are only able to build objects from a single material at a time. And when they do allow for multiple materials and colors to be used, […]
Until a few years ago, FFF technology (Fused Filament Fabrication) had been associated with the maker community, and less so with the industrial sector. Following the evolution of FFF machines, and their materials, the technology began […]
The Italian manufacturer Roboze and the chemical company SABIC have unveiled the fruit of their recent collaboration: a new high-temperature 3D printing material, EXTEM™AMHH811F filament. Compatible with Roboze's ARGO 500 3D printers, designed for production, this […]
You all know Desktop Metal for its metal 3D printers, designed to fit into an office environment with the Studio System and to also enable mass manufacture with the Production System. The U.S. manufacturer has announced […]
It’s no secret that additive manufacturing has been changing and will continue to change our creation and manufacturing processes. In opposition to subtractive manufacturing, objects are conceptualised, designed and then created layer by layer. Such an […]
The foam industry has been slow to adopt 3D printing, however this is changing. To produce parts that are more comfortable, safer, lighter and can be customized for each customer, this sector is turning to additive […]
9T Labs is a young Swiss startup that has developed a 3D printing method to create structures with carbon composites. From the design of the part to its post-treatment, they optimize the entire process to allow […]
Project PLA is an initiative launched by William Sloth, a New York high school student - the aim of this initiative is to recycle all PLA plastic waste generated from 3D printing. The concept is simple, […]
In April 2013, Skylar Tibbits, founder of the MIT Self-Assembly Lab, hosted a TEDx conference in which he introduced a new concept to the 3D printing process. For the first time, he introduced a fourth dimension […]
Would you like an orange juice squeezed into a 3D printed cup? This is the project imagined by the architect Carlo Ratti who developed a rather special juice bar, this one allows for orange peels to […]
Soft robotics is one of the subfields of robotics dealing with constructing robots from highly compliant materials, similar to those found in living organisms. This field looks at the way in which living organisms move and […]
Last week, it was reported that a group of UCLA engineers received a $1.5 million grant to make environmentally friendly concrete - by environmentally friendly they mean that it will incorporate carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, […]
PLA, also known as polylactic acid or polylactide, is a thermoplastic made from renewable resources such as corn starch, tapioca roots or sugar cane, unlike other industrial materials made primarily from petroleum. Due to its more […]
The ORGANIC shoe collection is a collaboration between Lucie Trejtnarová, a postgraduate student at Tomas Bata University in Zlin, Czech Republic, materials manufacturer, Fillamentum and the design studio, Malai Design & Materials. As its name suggests, […]
Aeromet has reported that its A20X patented aluminium alloy for casting and additive manufacturing has surpassed the 500 MPa UTS (Ultimate Tensile Strength) mark, meaning that it is possibly the strongest aluminium powder for additive manufacturing […]
3Dnatives is the leading source for all things 3D printing and additive manufacturing, with more than 550,000 visitors per month. Every day, you will find the latest news, interviews, stories and more on the revolution that is 3D printing!
