3D Printing Research

Researchers from Korea’s Pusan National University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed 3D printed elastomeric actuators. In a paper published in Nature, the team used elastomeric liquid crystal…

Many dynamic, interactive objects change their appearance through the use of electronics, like LEDs and screens. But if the object is squished, twisted, or pressed too hard, or exposed to…

We’re starting with business in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, then moving on to defense. We’ll move on to young 3D printing entrepreneurs, and finish with some research out…

Eplus3D has worked with UCL Rocket on liquid rocket engines. Right now, they’re working on a regenerative liquid oxygen (LOX) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) liquid-cooled architecture. These rockets use IPA…

The US additive manufacturing (AM) industry faces a turning point in terms of its approach to R&D. As has been the case for aggregate R&D in the US economy at…

EOS is joining the MAT‑H2 consortium. MAT is an EU-funded group that aims to do research into a hydrogen-led economy. The thinking is that hydrogen will be a clean energy…

A few weeks ago, I visited Professor Alexander Kaplan at Luleå University of Technology. Originally from Austria, Kaplan has spent more than 20 years at the university working on the…

We’re starting with business news in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, followed by news about an in-house center for engineering digital implants. We’ll end with research about thermal cloaking. Read…

Spain’s IMDEA Materials Institute has worked with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to detect and identify differences in different 3D printers. This could be important in eliminating run-to-run differences in prints and…

Published in the International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, a paper titled “Part scale prediction of residual stress through thermomechanical modeling of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V” seems to point to the…

In this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, Massivit has opened its first European Service Center to support its RapidWings platform, and nScrypt was granted a patent for its high-viscosity material…

In Part 1, Ulf Lindhe examined how advances in beam control, point melting strategies, and process monitoring are changing the way engineers think about electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF)….

Garbage in, garbage out: that cliche is currently associated most often with AI, but it really refers to the universal principle whereby a final outcome is only as useful as…

By the usual measure, a tally of funding rounds, APAC’s additive manufacturing market had a quiet second quarter. The capital that has actually closed across the region comes to about…

In terms of the global economy’s presently existing state, there is no realistic path to economic resilience that doesn’t start with critical minerals security. This is a problem for pretty…

The rapid rise of drones is creating one of the biggest opportunities for additive manufacturing (AM). Whether they’re used on battlefields, inspecting bridges or crops, or delivering supplies, drones need…

BellaSeno has pioneered resorbable breast implant scaffolds using 3D printing and polycaprolactone. The scaffolds can be printed in a specific structure and then reabsorb into the body. That way, the…

Cockroaches have been surviving on Earth for more than 300 million years. They can crawl through tiny cracks, climb almost any surface, and adapt to harsh environments. Now, researchers have…

We’re starting this 4th of July 3D Printing News Briefs with some AMUG news, and then moving on to business with DSH Technologies and materials with Markforged. We’ll end with…

Just days after researchers at the California Institute of Technology unveiled a 3D printed design for lithium-ion batteries, another university team has announced a different battery breakthrough using additive manufacturing…

They’re a familiar sight at trade shows: Chinese powder companies with barren stands lacking parts. There’s maybe some glass vessel with powder in it and a semi-complete data sheet, but…

We’re focused on healthcare and research in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, including 3D printed prosthetics, patient-specific implants, drug delivery, and more. Read on for all the details! Students from…

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is using a hybrid 3D printing method to make foldable panels. At the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at ORNL, researchers turned…

In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with a formal name change for an African industrial technology company that’s a major user of additive manufacturing (AM) in the oil…
