A team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have taken inspiration from nature to develop a rather surprising 3D printing method.…

Our interview today is truly unique: we have interviewed artificial intelligence (AI)! We wanted to test the now well-known ChatGPT and thought we would interview it as we would a 3D printing expert. ChatGPT (short for Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is…

Materials used in electrical engineering or electronics must conform to high demands. This is especially the case since these materials must have properties such as flame resistance. It is well known that in this case plastics meet the necessary flame…

A group of researchers at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, or Skoltech, say they have developed a new bronze-steel alloy using additive manufacturing. They turned to direct laser deposition to produce different parts composed of these two metals,…

The popularity of meat products has declined significantly in recent years. The reasons for this include the increasing awareness of animal suffering and negative effects on our environment due to high greenhouse gases, for example. To minimize the aforementioned consequences,…

Research and Markets began 2023 with the release of a study on the global additive manufacturing market. The firm estimates the industry will be worth $44.03 billion by 2027, up from $16.83 billion this year, representing an annual growth rate…

Research has been carried out with 3D printing which could change the way we tackle climate change and lead to the development of novel techniques for the benefit of society. A team led by Prof Shizhang Qiao, an Australian Laureate…

International collaboration is a cornerstone of almost all scientific research; the opportunity to share techniques, expertise, and ideas is essential to discovery and development. To no surprise, 3D printing is no exception to this rule. In a recent example of…

Both plastic and metal are key materials within many 3D printing processes and applications. When combined to make plastic-metal composites, the properties are modified to apply to a number of fields as the final product has metal and plastic integrated…

When it comes to finding new applications for 3D printing, there truly seems to be no limit. Case in point, the Australian architectural firm BVN and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed Systems Reef 2, an air distribution…

It is possible to fly… no, really! We have always heard that in the future it would be possible to fly and the future has arrived, it is today. This has been made possible thanks to today’s featured company: Gravity…

 Metal additive manufacturing finds its place in aerospace and defense in the creation of spare parts and prototypes in a short time, which can be useful for the management of supply chains. Companies all over the world are recognizing the…
