After two years of research and development, Microlay have launched the DentalFab 3D printer. Its speed, accuracy, resolution and compact form makes it ideal for dental laboratories, big and small.
The research carried out by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory proves 3D printed magnets can display better magnetic, mechanical and microstructural properties, as well as conserve critical materials.
The research found that a space-charge-controlled KTN beam deflector with a large electro-optic effect could conduct could make the scanning process much quicker.
V-Moda have unveiled a brand new series of 3D printed Bluetooth in-ear headphones. CEO Val Kolton insists their wireless Forza Metallo headphones provide a better service than its rivals' products.
