Faced with global warming, finding solutions to design environmentally friendly parts is now a problem at the core of many industries. This is why many scientists are working on this subject. Recently, researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (NTU…

Marine life has suffered significantly due to environmental issues in the past few years. Global warming and the accelerated urbanization in coastal areas has driven different parts of the life underwater to the edge of extinction. One alarming example is…

In the town of Bergen, New York, GE Renewable Energy has opened a research center dedicated to using concrete additive manufacturing to design the base of its wind turbine towers. The goal is to create the lower sections of these…

The researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have made a new discovery! This time, the scientists were interested in perovskites, a mineral originally considered to be a crystal composed of calcium, titanium and oxygen, but now referring to other…

The University of British Columbia recently accomplished a new world first. A team of researchers led by Dr. Ryan Flannigan have succeeded in 3D printing human testicular cells. After a few days of maturation, these cells would have been able…

For the 27th consecutive year, Wohlers Associates has published its annual report on the additive manufacturing industry. Wohlers Report 2022 marks the first report that has been published by Wohlers Associates since its acquisition by ASTM International late last year.…

Advances in additive manufacturing technologies are enabling major companies in the industry to develop new and innovative solutions, not only in terms of machinery, but also with materials. In particular, metal 3D printing is gaining popularity in all kinds of…

Yesterday, we celebrated International Women’s Day, highlighting the many accomplishments of women in additive manufacturing. However, that does not mean the work is done. This can be seen in Women in 3D Printing (WI3DP)’s latest Diversity for AM (DfAM) report…

Evonik Venture Capital, which deals with all kinds of applications related to the use of 3D technologies, has announced its investment in the Nevada-based Laxxon Medical. The goal: to produce 3D-printed tablets that will improve patient health thanks to better…

As 3D printing becomes more widely used, and final parts become more readily available, there is an increasing need to assess the quality of parts designed through additive manufacturing. For that reason, researchers at Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU Singapore)…

Technical ceramics, as opposed to artisanal or artistic ceramics, are materials that have been used for centuries in many industrial sectors. They are renowned for their temperature resistance, hardness and mechanical properties. In the additive manufacturing sector, ceramics are less…

Research and Markets recently released its report on the composite additive manufacturing market. Previously, the report estimated that the technology will be worth more than $28 billion by 2028, representing a 28% annual growth since 2020. However, due to the…
