14 Trees and Tvasta have launched a new construction 3D printer. The Cedar is a large-format gantry-style printer similar to the COBOD. Tvasta is an Indian automation firm founded in 2016 that produces 3D printers, software, and pumps in India. 14 Trees, meanwhile, is a joint venture between cement company Holcim, British International Investment, and […]
For years, the conversation around additive manufacturing followed a predictable script. Engineers would acknowledge its usefulness for prototyping – faster iterations, cheaper design validation, no tooling to worry about – and then pivot back to injection moulding or CNC machining for anything that needed to be made at scale. That script is now out of
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) say they may have found a softer, less invasive way to treat severe high blood pressure. In a new study published in the journal Device, the team explains how they created tiny 3D printed implants that wrap around arteries and deliver electrical stimulation directly to the body’s natural
Conexeu Sciences wants to commercialize a regenerative breast matrix solution. For years, Australian firm BellaSeno and Lattice Medical have been working on similar solutions. In 2018, Lattice came out with Osteoconductive lattice structures that bioabsorb. BellaSeno started clinical trials in 2022. The company is said to be doing well in those areas and can offer
For years, additive manufacturing (AM) has promised to reshape electronics. The idea has always been to print circuits directly where they are needed, add them into parts, and move beyond flat circuit boards. But in practice, that promise has taken much longer to materialize than many expected. According to nScrypt CEO Ken Church, that delay was
Competition in desktop 3D printing is brutal. Whereas before, firms competed through value engineering, Prusa clones now have an integrated hardware, sensor, and software setup that is making all the difference. The next step, of course, is letting everyone create. If all the models online were scalable or parametric, we could all make things that
We’re starting with business in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs. ATLIX announced a strategic distribution partnership with Excelencia Tech Group, and Timeplast raised $5 million in an oversubscribed campaign, powered by DealMaker. We’ll end with research about 3D printed metals. ATLIX Consolidates Presence in Spain with Strategic Distribution Partnership In a recently announced strategic distribution
The inroads that additive manufacturing (AM) users have made into the celebrity branding market is underappreciated, perhaps because the value is difficult to quantify. But just last month, for instance, 3D printed furniture maker Decibel partnered with Justin Bieber’s Skylrk brand for the singer’s Coachella set, and, during the Masters, Bryson DeChambeau made headlines once
Timo Göbel, the Head of Additive Manufacturing at the BMW Group, spoke at the AM Forum in Berlin about industrializing additive. He had wise words to share, including that we shouldn’t do our own automation but rely instead on established automation providers. He also told us that they didn’t want any balkanized software tooling, so
In Part One of this article, Vanesa Listek expertly described the major themes driving infrastructure investment so far this decade, illustrating how the same concerns are driving both public and private entities — and all the major sectors of the economy — to fund the same sorts of projects. Simultaneously, she analyzed the implications of
