The project specifically aims to tackle the wear and improve the efficiency of commercial vehicles, such as tractor trailers, which are used for the transport of consumer goods and materials.
On the latest Additive Insight podcast, Richard Hague, Professor of Additive Manufacturing and Director of the Centre for Additive Manufacturing at the University of Nottingham discusses multi-material, functional additive manufacturing.
The Danish Technological Institute (DTI) is to develop new and fast process parameters for SLM Solutions' metal additive manufacturing systems, after the two organisations extended their collaboration.
The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) has published its first independent piece of research, titled “Comparative LCA of a Low-Pressure Turbine (LPT) Bracket by Two Manufacturing Methods.”
Scientists from the Micro, Nano, and Molecular Systems Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials at Heidelberg University have created a new way of 3D printing.
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are hoping to help doctors tailor treatments to patients’ specific heart form and function with a custom robotic heart. Size and shape of a heart can vary from one person to the next.
Engineers from The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) have developed a miniature and flexible soft robotic arm which could be used to 3D print biomaterial directly onto organs inside a person’s body.
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have shown that a new 3D printed superalloy could help power plants generate more electricity while producing less carbon.
Douglas Brion & Sebastian Pattinson of the University of Cambridge's Department for Engineering on developing intelligent 3D printers that quickly detect and correct errors.
Candice Majewski, a Mechanical Engineering Lecturer at University of Sheffield, and Erin Walsh, a University of Glasgow medical student who also has a PhD in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, discuss the cultural landscape of 3D printing academia.
Sougata Roy, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Dakota (UND), has received federal funding to research new manufacturing methods for components used in nuclear reactors.
A new rotational, multimaterial 3D printing process has been developed by a team of researchers across different insitutes at Harvard University. The team was looking to mimic the helical structures that constitute biological systems.
