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…

As NASA puts it, “no other planet has captured our collective imagination quite like Mars.” In recent years focus has turned from travel to the Moon to the space race to Mars. The more ambitious among us aims to colonize…

Over the years, the trade in counterfeit goods, mostly of luxury brands, has spread rapidly all over the world. Data from the OECD in 2019 already showed that the trade in fake goods amounted to about 3.3% of all world…

Every year post-processing solution manufacturer PostProcess Technologies unveils a study on the post-processing market including trends, challenges and opportunities for users. In this 4th edition for 2022, the results are constant from previous years: post-processing remains a time-consuming step that…

There are already a large number of projects that have used additive manufacturing to ensure a more sustainable and environmentally friendly existence. Now, a research group at the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH) led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Claus Emmelmann has…

Especially in these times of fast fashion, where a piece of clothing from one brand sometimes looks confusingly similar to a piece from another brand, one thing is increasingly gaining in importance: individual and personalized clothing. How this can look…

Additive manufacturing is in some ways less developed in the UK than in other countries. In the UK, only 17% of companies have any experience with additive manufacturing, in sharp contrast to Germany with 37% and China’s 24%. According to…
