From a hurricane-resistant home to artificial marine reefs, Printera is paving the way for cheaper construction methods. Incorporating 3D printing in construction can create an 80 percent reduction in labor costs, and produce 60 percent less material waste. To find out…
Even a brief glimpse of current events across the globe results in one conclusion: the present economic landscape presents a formidable challenge for supply chain leaders. Inflationary pressures relentlessly squeeze profit margins, while military conflict and supply chain disruptions continue…
3D printing has transformed several industrial fields, introducing improvements in the design and manufacture of objects. The bicycle industry is no exception, also taking advantage of this technology to push back the frontiers of conventional manufacturing. TITAN SUPER BOND, which specializes in…
Pelagus 3D said Wednesday it had delivered a Return Oil Standpipe at Kobe, Japan, to be installed on Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s RoRo vessel TYSLA. The collaboration involved Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Wilhelmsen Ship Management. Traditionally, the procurement, fabrication, and delivery of…
United Utilities and ChangeMaker3D have achieved a UK first by building a concrete wastewater chamber using 3D printing. Over 12-months, ChangeMaker3D worked with United Utilities to design, 3D-print and install a wastewater chamber at one of the utility company’s test…
Beginning in 2022, NASA will place unmanned Orion spacecraft into lunar orbit, followed by crewed landings, construction of lunar habitats and supporting infrastructure, and ultimately, preparation for a visit to Mars. Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is one of…
Lunar landers could use 3D-printed rocket engine parts that bring down manufacturing costs and production times. NASA recently hot-fire tested a pair of 3D-printed components designed for rocket engines, a combustion chamber and nozzle. They are 3D printed out of…
Markforged, provider of metal and carbon fiber 3D printers, announced Wärtsilä — a technology group servicing the marine and energy markets — has achieved a breakthrough with the development of a 3D printed composite lifting tool for its engines by…
3D printing is no longer tomorrow’s promise; it is available for manufacture today. But with much competition in the investment sphere of technological innovations, from Artificial Intelligence to Augmented Reality, how do you make the business case for 3D? Down…
A team of U.S. Marines 3D printed a part for the F-35 stealth fighter saving $70,000 in costs for a whole new landing gear door. The component is a small part mounted on the door pressing it into the latch.…
