3D Printing

Imperial College London and Empa researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers that build and repair structures while flying.

Europe’s first 3D-printed office extension has opened in Hausleiten in Austria. The project is a result of a collaboration between the construction technology group STRABAG and the scaffolding and formwork manufacturer and 3D concrete printing pioneer PERI. The building is a 125-metres-squared office extension to an existing building in Hausleiten.

SHINING 3D, a global provider of 3D technologies from 3D scanning to 3D printing, launches EINSTAR, an affordable handheld 3D scanner to make high-quality 3D data acquisition accessible for everyone.

The company will be displaying a wide range of technology at the show, including an enhanced capacity 3D PrintPRO 4 and 3D PrintPRO HT (high temperature) alongside the established 3D PrintPRO range

While the US and Canada have seen several 3D printed buildings in recent years, in the US all of these have been single-story buildings. In market terms +50% of all constructed single-family homes in the US are in fact 2 stories or more, underlining the importance of 3D construction printing to go higher.

Cementos Progreso, Guatemala’s largest cement company, spearheads use of COBOD’s 3D construction printers in Latin America to solve the housing deficit.

While the US and Canada have seen several 3D printed buildings in recent years, until now all of these have been single-story buildings.

Additive manufacturing (AM) offers tremendous possibilities for the fabrication of next-generation microelectronic devices, including lower cost and simplicity. Yet, there are several challenges to the widespread use of AM techniques for microfabrication. Łukasz Kosior from XTPL further discusses.

With the EyeVision 3D software, pins of any shape can be measured and checked for their correct position and reeling circle.

3D Systems is pleased to announce CuNi30, a corrosion-resistant, copper-nickel alloy for use with its DMP Flex 350 metal 3D printer.
