There once was a company called Lake3D which made and sold continuous DLP systems. They even sold a system to DuPont, and the material jetting printer had a lot of potential. Through jetting, it could perhaps enable new materials, new applications, and be more productive. Where Quantica was making a high viscosity inkjet head, Lake3D […]
Additive manufacturing leverages computer-based software to create components for products by depositing either dielectric or conductive materials, layer by layer, into different geometric shapes. Since its birth in the 1980s, 3D printing technology for additive manufacturing has emerged as a revolutionary capability, and, in the decades since, 3D printing has overthrown traditional concepts of industrial
Dhruv Bhate is an associate professor at Arizona State University. There, he looks at structures, materials, and design. Previously, he worked at PADT as well as in the semiconductor and automotive industries. We talk here about meta materials, lattices, and the power (and risk) that these structures have. We also learn about bioinspired design. What
From accessories and shoes to dresses and more, we’ve seen 3D printed fashion hit the runway numerous times over the years. The latest example is by Sydney-based fashion label AMISS, which partnered with global 3D printing leader Creality for its debut collection. The results of their high-fashion collaboration were on display at the recent WINGS
In this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with medical news from 3D Systems, and then moving on to research about glass nanostructures and synthetic lichen. Then, 3D printing is being used to make obsolete parts for tractor restoration. Finally, adidas has revealed a lace-up version of its 3D printed CLIMACOOL slip-on sneaker. 3D
leagend has introduced its advanced leagend CM100 Battery Power Monitor—a coulomb meter. NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — As RV travel continues to capture the hearts of adventurers and families seeking off-grid …
The shoe of the summer is undoubtedly the flip-flop. Easy on, easy off, your feet won’t get sweaty because there’s not much material, and they’re available in a veritable rainbow of colors. And, as with most types of shoes these days, you can use 3D printing to make flip-flops and other sandals. At the upcoming
Remember Villeneuve’s Dune? The pursuit of rare and powerful spice (“venture alpha“) brought heroes into deserts hiding sandworms and shifting dangers (for those unfamiliar, think of a high-stakes quest through a dangerous desert). Additive manufacturing (AM) in 2025 feels similar: a field with vast promise, yet buried under unstable terrain and a lack of data.
Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) is a Boise, Idaho-based manufacturer of suppressors, firearms, and related components. A subsidiary of Vigilant Gear and a sister company to aftermarket Glock slide manufacturer Lone Wolf Distributors (acquired in 2019), the company has acquired an SLM 500 quad-laser metal 3D printer from Nikon SLM Solutions. PWS will use the system
In the government contracting process, public sector agencies often issue a letter of intent (LOI) in the lead-up to forging formal deals with specific companies for future delivery of goods and/or services. The agreements aren’t legally binding, but they do provide detailed outlines enabling the relevant stakeholders to begin taking any necessary, preliminary steps in
