In the additive manufacturing market, the user is not immune to potential manufacturing defects, not only wasting time and money, but also sacrificing quality. In order to limit these defects as much as possible as well as automate the production…

In early February, Essentium, Inc announced the results of the second in a series of findings from independent global research on the current and future use of industrial 3D printing. We previously covered the first survey published in 2019, which…

3D printing is one of the fundamental elements of Industry 4.0. But before considering the role of additive manufacturing, it is first necessary to understand what Industry 4.0 is. Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, consists of the automation…

Last year, SmarTech Analysis released its latest report on ceramic 3D printing, estimating that the technology will be worth approximately $4.8 billion by 2030. A real opportunity is gradually emerging for the industry, with additive manufacturing offering concrete advantages in…

This week we are introducing you to LaserFactory. This manufacturing solution uses a laser beam machine to create robots, drones and other types of electronic devices, completely autonomously. This is an industry 4.0 system that may well in the future…

Earlier this week, Aleph Farms, announced that they had successfully developed the world’s first slaughter-free ribeye steak, by 3D bioprinting real cow cells. This achievement was the result of a collaboration between the Israeli start-up and Technion, the Israel Institute…

In Sweden, Uppsala University and the company Graphmatech have worked together to develop a rather unusual copper powder in order to create denser 3D printed parts. Using a laser fusion process, the researchers modified the metal’s surface with graphene. Thanks…

Researchers from the University of South Australia have developed 3D printed esophageal stents that could revolutionise the delivery of chemotherapy drugs for patients with esophageal cancer. 3D printing has become of increasing importance in the medical field as it allows…

Singaporean researchers have developed a novel method of 3D printing vegetables using food hydrocolloids. Previous three-dimensional food printing (3DFP) methods have largely relied on freeze-dried vegetable powders. This method, however, is centred around the use of fresh and frozen vegetables…

Printed Farms, a Florida based start-up, has completed the 3D printing stage of the first 3D printed building in Florida. The project was completed using a COBOD BOD2 printer, which has been successfully used in a number of 3D printing…

Lack of fresh, potable (drinkable) water is one of the biggest challenges facing millions on our planet today. This is especially evident in arid areas, many of which are now struggling even more as global warming drives temperatures up in…

Modix Modular Technologies is an Israeli manufacturer behind the Modix BIG line of 3D printers, designed, according to the manufacturer, to print large, industrial-quality parts. Six models are available today, with a first series of compact single-head machines and a…
