Real Time Rheology System Used In 3D Printing and Bioprinting
In a paper entitled “A Real-time Rheological Measurement for Biopolymer 3D Printing Process,” a group of researchers develops a method of measuring the rheological properties of solutions for 3D bioprinting. Rheology is the study of the flow of matter, and...
How 3ERP Avoids the Pitfalls of Rapid Prototyping in China
Rapid prototyping in China has an obvious appeal. Like other forms of manufacturing in the Asian country, rapid prototyping in China offers exceptional value, its low rates unmatchable by even the most affordable European and North American companies. But with that...
The Effect of Temperature on 3D Printed PLA Clay Nanocomposites
In a paper entitled “3D Printing of PLA/clay Nanocomposites: Influence of Printing Temperature on Printed Samples Properties,” a group of researchers investigate the possibility of using a layered silicate-reinforced PLA in 3D printing applications....
Investigating Lightweight 3D Printed Structures for Sand Casting
3D printing is often used to produce molds for casting. In the case of sand molds, binder jetting is typically used; however, its high costs, due to expensive materials, need to be lowered, according to the authors of a study entitled “Mechanical Analysis of...
Additive Industries and Sauber F1 Team Extend Technology Partnership for Metal 3D Printing
Last summer, Dutch 3D printing company Additive Industries announced a three-year technology partnership with Switzerland-based Sauber F1 Team, which became the launching customer for the MetalFAB1 Process & Application Development Tool. The Sauber F1 Team had...
Dynablock: 3D Prints That Assemble and Disassemble in Seconds
In a paper entitled “Dynablock: Dynamic 3D Printing for Instant and Reconstructable Shape Formation,” a group of researchers look at 3D printing in a new way. “Dynamic 3D Printing” is described as a process that “assembles an arbitrary...
UMaine Composites Center Helping Boatbuilders Incorporate Large-Scale 3D Printing with Wood-Filled Materials
This week, the Maine Technology Institute (MTI) awarded the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (UMaine Composites Center) a $500,000 grant to form a technology cluster with a very specific purpose – help boatbuilders in Maine gain a...3DPrint.com Highlights & Resources
