3D printing uses digital manufacturing processes to make components that are lightweight, strong, and can be produced without special tools. In the past ten years, the field has experienced amazing gr...
The new technology developed by VTT can use pectin-containing agricultural wastes (such as citrus peel and beet pulp) as raw materials for bio-based PEF plastics to replace fossil-based PET. When usin...
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed artificial intelligence software for powder bed 3D printers that can assess the quality of parts in real time without the need for expensive...
Microfluidic structures and devices have been studied for decades, used to transport liquids through internal channels, using a variety of microfabrication solutions, such as surface and batch microma...
The vehicle group of the power management company Eaton is implementing a new 3D metal printing process as part of its Industry 4.0 strategy to reduce development time and increase efficiency. The fir...
A team of engineers from Delft University of Technology has developed an extrusion-based 3D printing that can be used to manufacture temporary bone implants made of porous iron. Like magnesium or zinc...
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have taken a step towards making more precise and uniform 3D printed parts (such as personalized prosthetics and dental mater...
From automobiles to artificial satellites, from building materials to electronic products, high-grade metal alloys are essential in key parts of modern life. However, due to researchers’ vague u...
Researchers in the Department of Physics and Astronomy have created a technique that allows them to “sketch” electronic patterns into programmable quantum materials: lanthanum aluminate/st...
In order to achieve efficient energy storage devices, 3D printing is being widely used in the electrochemical field. Recently, the new results of the cooperation between the Northwestern Polytechnical...
Engineers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have created a new deformable or “deformable” 3D printed nozzle, which was called Frontispiece in the January 5th issue of Advanced Materials ...
GM’s interest in 3D printing tools stems from two factors. The first is our nylon 12CF material, which contains 35% chopped carbon fiber. Its excellent strength and rigidity are ideal for variou...
In recent years, it has been possible to use laser beams and electron beams to “print” engineering objects with complex shapes that cannot be achieved by conventional manufacturing. The ad...
In the field of additive manufacturing, most equipment still uses traditional 3-axis machine tools. Although 5-axis machine tools can print complex geometric shapes, the existing equipment still needs...
The speed of light has entered 3D printing. Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new method that uses light to increase the speed and accuracy of 3D printing, while also combining it ...
The metal organic framework (MOF) is composed of metal ions periodically surrounded by organic bridging molecules. These hybrid crystal frameworks have a cage-like hollow structure. This unique struct...
In a project jointly developed by China and the United States, researchers discovered the “speed limit” of powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printing, under which the possibility of defects in pa...
In recent decades, the world has gradually become digitized, and the pace of change is also accelerating. The changes in products and industries are unrecognizable. The rapid spread of digital technol...
A research team led by Tao Tao, associate professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Virginia, made two discoveries that could expand additive manufacturing in aerospace and o...
Manufacturers today are burdened by high labour rates, increasing raw material costs and the constant threat of global competition. Given the current state of the economy, china 3d printing manufactur...
