3D Printing

Rapid Fusion is set to unveil a 3D printing robot demonstration centre this month, as it looks to build on a 25% in revenues.

Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have created a new approach to 3D printing, by using materials that mimic the properties of living muscles. These materials, known as liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs), are soft, flexible polymers that change shape dramatically when they are exposed to heat or other stimuli.

Today, nearly all personal electronic devices rely on antennas to send and receive data. In fact, demand is also rising for lightweight antennas for new applications, including the latest in 5G/6G networks, advanced wearable devices, and aerospace applications like CubeSats.

Made Smarter Adoption North West, the trailblazing digital technology adoption programme, has secured an additional £230,000 to help more SME manufacturers access transformational technology.

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a 3D concrete printing method that captures carbon, demonstrating a new pathway to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. 

Stratasys and Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) have announced a five-year extension of their current working agreement that spans more than 20 years. The extension of its longstanding partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing, one of the most successful teams in NASCAR, cements Stratasys’ role as their trusted partner in additive manufacturing.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have developed a material derived from blood that enables bone repair. By mixing synthetic peptide amphiphiles (PAs) with whole blood, they have created a material that uses the body’s natural healing processes to mimic and enhance tissue regeneration, which can also be shaped or 3D-printed for medical applications.

Industrial-level 3D printer and materials manufacturer, Impossible Objects, has announced that its flagship high-speed, high-volume CBAM 25 3D printer is now available to European customers, following its global debut in June.

Stratasys has announced that Gulf Wind Technology, a company dedicated to advancing rotor design for wind turbines, is using Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions to enhance their ability to test and improve wind turbine models.

Renishaw recently hosted a special event at its Miskin manufacturing facility in South Wales, celebrating the intersection of cutting-edge additive manufacturing (AM) technology and high-performance sports.
