LLNL stainless steel 3D printing “better than traditional manufacturing”

In a recent study led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), scientists have discovered a way of making stainless steel two to three times stronger than usual. The method takes advantage of the unique grain structure of stainless steel parts when 3D printed using powder bed fusion (PBF) technology. Though the goal of the research was […]

When making monsters for the screen, Stranger Things are 3D printed

Hit Netflix show Stranger Things has been celebrated for its both its engaging plot and its homage to science fiction pop culture from 1980s. One futuristic feature which goes as far back as the 1980s is a technology that was also a key asset behind the scenes of the show. That technology is Stereolithography (SLA) […]

New ECAM system is a low-cost, electrochemical-based metal 3D printer

A research group from the Imperial College London in the UK has reportedly developed a new and low-cost process for metal 3D printing. The innovative technique, called Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) uses electroplating technology to build up metal objects in a cost-efficient manner.

Chirurgen planen Implantate die während der OP 3D-gedruckt werden

In Australien wird aktuell an einer neuen Anwendung für 3D-Druck geforscht: Implantate die während Eingriffen direkt 3D-gedruckt und anschließen transplantiert werden. Im Speziellen könnte diese Technik bei der Behandlung von Krebs große Vorteile für Patienten bringen. In einer 5-jährigen Zusammenarbeit wird in Australien erforscht ob es Vorteile bringt, Implantate während chirurgischen Eingriffen direkt additiv herzustellen. […]
