The 3-D printer at International Space Station has successfully created the first 3-D printed object in space. This 3-D Printing in Zero-G Technology Demonstration aims to show that additive manufacturing can be used to build a wide range of 3-D printed tools and components in space. The study was also conducted to check whether the 3-D printing process functions the same in microgravity like it does on Earth. This is a significant breakthrough in space technology and opens the doors to future space expeditions.
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a novel accurate method for measuring residual stress in 3-D printed metal parts. Powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) is a type of 3D printing process that uses a high-energy laser beam for fusing metal powder particles. In this method the metal parts are produced using a layer-by-layer method.
Experts will unveil a new 3D-printed model of the heart at EuroEcho-Imaging 2014, the official European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) annual meeting that is set to take place at the Reed Messe Wien GmbH congress centre, Vienna, Austria during 3-6 December.
Researchers at a Texas Medical Center have created a better in vitro breast cancer model using 3D bioprinting technology developed by Rainbow Coral Corporation’s joint venture partner, Nano3D Biosciences (n3D).
Texas Instruments (TI) has announced the availability of two new high-resolution DLP® chipsets for 3D printing, 3D machine vision and lithography applications.
The new chipsets, consisting of the DLP9000 and DLP65...
Engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center, along with student interns have successfully utilized 3-D printed parts and components from surplus unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to build custom aircraft. Components from the small electric aircraft – the Aerovironment RQ-14 Dragon Eye UAVs, were used in this effort.
New York University scientists have discovered that the low-temperature microscopic particles tend to melt with the rise in temperature to moderate levels and again recombine under high temperature. This invention paves the way for the development of smart materials capable of adapting to any new environment, and for providing detailed study of 3D printing technology.
Researchers at the Beijing Key Laboratory of CryoBiomedical Engineering described a new 3D printing method using low melting metal alloy ink. The melting point of the alloy is slightly more than the room temperature. This liquid-phase printing technique is suitable for the manufacture of a conductive metal product in various dimensions. Unlike the traditional 3D printing, the liquid-phase printing technique is devoid of the air cooling process that results in oxidation of the metal.
With the objective of revolutionizing astronomy education, the Space Telescope Science Institute researchers, Antonella Nota and Carol Christian, convert Hubble Space Telescope pictures into tactile 3-D images using 3D printers in order to help visually impaired people to explore space objects.
Local Motors, along with a team of industry experts, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cincinnati Incorporated, and The Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT) launched the world’s first 3D-printed car in McCormick Place, Chicago, on September 13, 2014. As part of a victory lap, John B. Rogers, CEO of Local Motors, accompanied by AMT President Doug Woods, drove the car around at the six-day show.
