3D Printing and the Circular Economy Part 7: the Viability of 3D Printing
This is a short article on the viability of 3D printing in terms of the circular economy. It is important to note that infrastructures are more important in terms of the circular economy, but 3D printing can be leveraged well.
What is Metrology Part 2: CMM
This is an article that outlines CMM technology and how it is the basis of metrology. You will learn about some of the interesting physics involved within this field as well.
Interview with Senvol’s Annie Wang on Data for 3D Printing
A few years ago when Senvol started, it sounded like what they wanted to do was boring. A database of machines and properties, yawn. Surely this wasn’t a start up…
North Carolina A&T University Professors Evaluate Summer 3D Printing Workshop for High Schoolers
US engineers and mathematicians explore the values of 3D printing in education further, outlining their findings in ‘Teaching High School Students Design Process and 3D Printing: Lessons Learned.’ Authored by…
Processing Complex Collimators Via Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing
Authors Corson L. Cramer, Amy M. Elliott, James O. Kiggans, Bianca Haberl, and David C. Anderson explore new techniques in their recently published, ’Processing of complex-shaped collimators made via binder…
MIT: Automated System Designs and 3D Prints Optimized Actuators and Displays to Spec
Actuators are complex devices that mechanically control robotic systems in response to electrical signals received. Depending on the specific application they’re used for, today’s robotic actuators have to be optimized…

NRC Canada Partnering with Polycontrols to Scale Up Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing
Last year, we learned that Jean-Michel Lamarre and Fabrice Bernier of the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada had started fabricating electric motor magnets using a process called cold spray additive manufacturing, or CSAM….
Combining Over-3D Printing of Continuous Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites with Stamp Forming Organo-sheet Substrates
Because continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite materials have such high strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance, in addition to noise suppression and impact energy absorption qualities, a lot of people are…
