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 work focuses on equipment used to study bacteria and other tiny organisms, including devices that use lasers to find and move bacteria. The research, carried

We have a packed 3D Printing News Briefs for you this weekend! First, America Makes celebrated the recent National Manufacturing Day with 3D printed drones, and then it’s on to business for VulcanForms, Velo3D, and DEEP Manufacturing. XYZO launched its automated hybrid manufacturing technology, and Instruct3D commercially launched its Additive Build intelligence solution. We’ll end

At this year’s RAPID event in Boston, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions celebrated ten years in the additive manufacturing (AM) market. The company ushered in the milestone with several innovations, including the new entry-level Multi Jet Fusion 1200 system, new materials and powder handling for the Metal Jet platform, High Productivity print mode and Dual Tone

3D printing medicines has often been tied to the idea of personalization, basically making a pill in the right dose, shape, or drug combination for a patient. PharmaTher is now trying to build something much larger around that capability. The Canadian pharmaceutical company has launched its M3DICINES National Network Program, a plan to create a

In the first article in this series, we look at how a European chair company invested in the world by pioneering mass manufacturing, modularity, bent wood, tubular steel, catalogs, composites, and more to form a seed that helped to make the modern globalized world. Now we look at how the De Havilland Mosquito has influenced

The additive manufacturing (AM) industry has become obsessed with the opportunity for drones, and there’s certainly good reason for that. But before drones, the big focal point in AM for defense was rocket motors: above all, solid rocket motors (SRMs). And, despite rising drone demand—or even because of it—companies involved in AM for defense need

For most of its history, desktop 3D printing has been a technology business. Companies competed on speed, accuracy, build volume, temperature, materials and reliability. Buyers compared specifications because the machines were mainly bought by makers, engineers, designers and other technical users. But that is starting to change. Desktop 3D printers are getting easier to use,

We are in the middle of a major manufacturing shift focused on the production speed and payload capacity of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), or drones. A recent Manufacturing Dive article puts the 2025 drone market at $15.6 billion, and there are no signs that domestic or international defense initiatives will slow anytime soon. And yes,

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems makes brakes, ABS systems, lane departure systems, drum brakes, and more for commercial vehicles. Vincent Bendix founded the firm in 1923 after his father was hit by a car and died due to poorly performing brakes. With 4000 employees, the Knorr-Bremse subsidiary is a leading supplier of vehicle systems, known for
