Back in 2020, we introduced you to Dhawan-I, a 3D printed cryogenic engine made by Skyroot Aerospace. Three years later, the Indian company has been working on a more powerful model, unveiling to the public the new and improved Dhawan-II,…

Along with dairy production, the meat industry is now known to account for 83% of agricultural land use and produces 18 per cent of greenhouse gases, including methane and nitrous oxide. What’s more, a study from the University of Oxford…

Today is Sunday, meaning it is time for the week’s top 5 3D printing videos! First up, don’t miss this video on NBC discussing the Artemis II moon launch, which will see humans on the moon for the first time…

With the use of additive manufacturing in the medical field, it is becoming increasingly clear the technology can contribute to a better quality of life. For example, take the case of unprecedented operation that occurred in Austria at the University Hospital of…

The various additive manufacturing technologies available today can seem endless, though they often fall into one of about seven categories, but not all of them. Take, for example, cold spray additive manufacturing. Cold spray is a technique which involves the…

A research team from the Jacobs School at the University of California, San Diego, are developing a new method of 3D bioprinting based on digital light processing (DLP). The project aims to create vascularized 3D-engineered tissues that, although produced in…

In the most demanding industries, such as aerospace or automotive, the creation of parts requires exhaustive quality control to ensure they are suitable for their intended purpose. One of these aspects to be taken into account is the cooling of…

The United States Military has consistently been at the forefront of 3D printed innovations, often using additive manufacturing to produce their equipment. From bunkers and bridges to weapons and drones, the organization is a big proponent of 3D printing in…

It seems that it is time once again for another round of acquisitions in the additive manufacturing sector. After a year that has been relatively quiet compared to last year, this week we have seen a flurry of activity. First…

Coastal erosion is defined as the loss or displacement of land along the coastline. The main causes of this natural phenomenon are the depletion of soil organic matter (sand, rock) as well as the degradation of soil structure or problems…

The Summer Olympics are still a year away, but it already seems that 3D printing will have its own role to play. French inland waterway authority, Vois Navigables de France (VNF) has been seeking environmentally friendly river shuttles for the…

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is an elastomer (synthetic plastic) that is characterized by its high flexibility and resistance during further processing and combines the properties of thermoplastics and elastomers. It can withstand much higher compressive and tensile forces than other common…
