In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with medical news, as Myrava has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its 3D printed bolus. Moving on to aerospace and metals, AML3D…

Alexander Plotkowski is all about developing new alloys. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), he’s the Group Leader for Computational Coupled Physics within the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division. He’s…

Austrian nanoscale 3D printing firm UpNano can make very precise 3D printers that can achieve accurate results at the sub-micron level. The company’s 2PP printers have helped it secure a…

Researchers at Sweden’s Umeå University have shown how desktop 3D printers can be used to make lab equipment, giving scientists a cheaper way to build tools for their research. The…

A new paper, “Full-Field Damage Monitoring in Architected Lattices Using In situ Electrical Impedance Tomography,” points to lattices being able to detect damage. This could really help composites in critical…

Oxidation affects many substances but can also be beneficial. Aluminum, for example, forms a passive oxide film that helps it resist seawater. NAB is often used in ships and forms…

In this week’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’ll discuss some materials news: a reference material for standardizing photopolymer manufacturing, metallic alloys that help reduce energy loss in electric motors, a…

In this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, Eplus3D and Young-Will Aerospace are working on LPBF process validation for a nickel-copper alloy. Meltio released a U.S.-made version of its Meltio Robot…

NFL football is by far the most popular sport in the US, followed by college football (a state-of-affairs oddly similar to the fact that the world’s largest air force is…

At the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), the Centre for Print Research (CFPR) is using metal 3D printing to help grow gemstones directly inside platinum structures. The…

We’re starting off this week’s 3D Printing News Briefs with a little business from Axtra3D and Beehive Industries, before moving on to a scientific collaboration agreement between Roboze and a…

We’re starting with standards in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, as ASTM has re-launched its Advanced Manufacturing Division as the Critical and Emerging Technologies (CET) Division. Then we’ll move…

Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) are deals between US federal organizations and other entities. The latter group most often includes private companies, as the primary purpose of CRADAs is…

In this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, America Makes announced the winner of its GOTHAAM Project Call. Then it’s all about healthcare 3D printing news, with Stratasys and Limbitless Solutions…

We’ve long had a passion at 3DPrint.com for Kirigami shapes, be it in the form of bandages, nano fabrication, or sensors. We also wrote a lot about metamaterials and, more…

We’re kicking things off today with software news, as the new Meshy 7 is now live. Then we’ll move on to business, with ExOne and voxeljet now operating as a…

A new 3D printed stent developed at New York University (NYU) does not look like the devices doctors typically use today. Instead of a simple tube, the prototype resembles a…

We’re starting with defense news in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, before moving on to polymers for CubeSats and 3D printed prosthetics. We’ll end with a story about engineering…

The first half of August brought a wave of factory plans, plant openings, and qualification work across the Asia-Pacific additive manufacturing market. Highlights include a RMB 200 million print farm…

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…
