For years, additive manufacturing has promised engineers greater design freedom. The challenge wasn’t printing the part—it was proving the part belonged on an aircraft. Designing a lightweight bracket or consolidating a complex assembly into a single printed component has never been the difficult part. The real challenge has been demonstrating that an additively manufactured polymer

ATLANT 3D has launched a new industrial-scale manufacturing system as it works to bring its unusual form of atomic-scale additive manufacturing (AM) into semiconductors, AI materials research and advanced electronics. The new NANOFABRICATOR PRO is the latest piece of a much bigger expansion. ATLANT 3D is also setting up U.S. manufacturing, building materials-development hubs in

The additive manufacturing (AM) industry has spent the last few years getting a lot more serious about business. Growth, profitability, consolidation, defense spending, supply chains, and scaling production now matter as much as the technology itself. Those conversations will be front and center when Additive Manufacturing Strategies (AMS) returns to New York City from February

When he showed up on Google Meet for our interview, I could see that Philip Pounds, co-founder of Unlayered 3D, was seated shotgun in a moving car. I wasn’t sure who was driving, but barely a minute later I heard a voice off-screen, at which point Philip tilted his phone to his left: “I won’t

Schendy Kernizan worked as a professor and researcher before co-founding RLP (Rapid Liquid Print), a company that extrudes silicone into a hydrogel. RLP allows for pure silicone to be made quite quickly with a lot of design freedom. From medical devices to industrial components, the company is exploring what its technology can do. We talk

Thanks to this LinkedIn Post by Lukas Ziegler, I found out about the Berkeley Humanoid Lite. Now I’ve always been quite skeptical of humanoid robots. Why not just get two Roomba-like devices to do the work on each floor and dispense with the walking? The extra humanoid element may be exciting, but it seems like

Fourteen desktop 3D printers spent seven weeks producing the bones of a dinosaur that lived roughly 166 million years ago. The result is now on display at Blenheim Palace in England, where five nine-meter-long Megalosaurus sculptures have taken over the grounds as part of a new outdoor exhibition called Dinosaurs Are Forever. British artist Jay

We’re starting with defense news in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, before moving on to polymers for CubeSats and 3D printed prosthetics. We’ll end with a story about engineering students who designed mobility devices for a rescue dog. Read on for all the details!

Every kilogram sent into space comes at a cost. So engineers have spent decades finding ways to make spacecraft lighter. The next frontier will be producing some of the parts they need in orbit, instead of launching everything from Earth. Nikon Advanced Manufacturing believes additive manufacturing (AM) could play a key role in making that

In 3D printing, key industries include things such as poka-yoke and manufacturing tools like jigs and fixtures. These low-volume tools save money and reduce errors. Refits in things like military jets and trains are also a growing market for us, as are upgrades to trains. These are all relatively low-volume activities that benefit from parts
