Manual tests for safe drinking water can be slow and error-prone. A team of academics is trying to change that Like many people, Alexander Patto was keen to move away from academia after his PhD. He wanted a job that…
The manufacturing industry has always been directly impacted by the technological advancements of its time. From the advent of coal and steam as new sources of energy, the cotton gin and its impact on cloth manufacturers, and the assembly line…
A special interest group of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) has posted a set of guidelines, suggesting standard approaches for 3D printing in healthcare. Recognizing the need for evidence-based recommendations in the sector, these guidelines have been developed over a…
3D printing technology applications come alive in applications ranging from developing packaging machinery to producing personalized medical devices to printing custom medications in a patient’s home. The FDA acknowledges that “advances in material science, digital health, 3D printing, as well…
This collection of reports, books, and new items will get you up to speed on the 3D industry’s latest developments. With so many developments in the additive manufacturing world to follow, I decided to use this article to compile some…
Trade shows and conferences are time- and energy-intensive expeditions often requiring significant travel and expense. The best events prove their worth in bringing together the people who make an industry and the decision-makers who drive it — and in additive…
Russian researchers have used machine learning to make metal 3D printing more efficient. 3D printers require fine tuning of positioning and control algorithms using mathematical models to reach optimal performance. This is a lengthy and arduous process and it could…
