A group of researchers has made a low-cost 3D printed microscope to detect microplastics in the seafloor. The project was carried out by the Microplastics Detection Assistant (MIDAS) team with the participation of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Navantia, S.M.E…

Formlabs recently released its first-ever study, the aptly-named “2022 3D Printing Application Report.” The market research was conducted by the company in conjunction with Industry Week and Machine Design in November 2021 and received more than 400 responses. The report…

At the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), a team of researchers have developed a new kind of 3D printer whose technology combines a CT scanner and light. By reversing the principle of CT scanning, they could create all types of…

In its latest report on trends in additive manufacturing, Jabil drew up a picture of the uses and practices of more than 300 professionals who have decided to bet on 3D printing. A few months later, it looks back at…

The use of surgical masks is now a part of our daily lives. But, the daily use (and discarding) of them as a result of the global pandemic has caused a significant pollution problem. However, a research team from the…

The growing adoption of additive manufacturing is accompanied by more frequent and increased recruitment policies, as companies seek to strengthen their teams to go even further. But finding the right fit is not always easy, especially in a market that…

It is well-known that additive manufacturing is being used in space, but did you know that it also has applications underwater? ecoSUB Robotics, a manufacturer of underwater vehicles, has turned to 3D printing for the creation of key parts. The…

A team of researchers at the University of Minnesota have created the first 3D printed, flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, measuring 3.8 cm by 3.8 cm with 64 pixels. The project is particularly interesting as it is a flexible…

Today’s cargo ships are powered by large, complex engines that represent a strategic challenge for the maritime industry, which has been seeking to become more sustainable for several years. The industry is looking to optimize the parts of these engines,…

After more than a year of research, a team of scientists at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a 3D printable antiviral material. According to the researchers, this new material would be able to effectively fight against Covid-19, regardless…

CECIMO, the European Association of the Machine Tool Industries and related Manufacturing Technologies, has published the third edition of its European study dedicated to additive manufacturing. Conducted over a 6-month period, it focuses on four specific points to identify certain…

Post-processing solutions manufacturer PostProcess Technologies has released the third edition of its Annual Additive Post-Printing Survey: Trends Report 2021. This year’s report confirms what was already announced last year, namely the desire to shorten this time-consuming step, to improve the…
