Methods Machine Tools subsidiary, Methods 3D, have launched seven additive manufacturing laboratories strategically located across the US. The labs boast 18 printers with DMP, SLS and SLA capabilities.
TCT Podcast is back! The 2016 edition of TCT Show was opened with one of THE most awe-inspiring stories ever to be told in 3D printing. We've compiled the audio of the keynote for your listening pleasure.
Researchers at Harvard University have developed the first entirely 3D-printed organ-on-a-chip. They believe this new approach may one day allow researchers to rapidly design organs-on-chips that match the properties of a specific disease.
Cranfield University have unveiled what they believe to be the biggest single metal 3D-printed part to date. Using their own Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing process, Cranfield are set to claim the record from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Auburn University has established a new Centre of Industrialised Additive Manufacturing, with Tony Overfelt being appointed as the director. The $1.5m grant is expected to direct the research into ways for smaller manufacturing companies to use AM.
UL and new research and development organisation, Brightlands Materials Centre have signed a Letter of Intent to provide AM training to emerging markets. Brightlands will host the workshops at their Chemelot Campus in The Netherlands.
A team of researchers from a range of American Universities has manufactured small 3D-printed structures which shrink when heated, rather than expand. Each structure is about the size of a sugar cube and quickly shrinks when it reaches 282 degrees C.
WhiteClouds has launched 3DyourMAP, a full-scale colour 3D-printed map model service which uses drone data. Alongside WhiteClouds' new service comes the drone industry's first app store, DroneDeploy's App Market, also launched this week.
