3+ day, 21+ hour ago   (270+ words) Stratasys has rolled out the F870, a large-format fused deposition modeling system built for factory-floor tooling, manufacturing aids and fixtures at automotive, aerospace and defense manufacturers. Toyota Production Engineering, at the company’s Georgetown, Kentucky, site, and Rivian Automotive, at its Plymouth,…...

5+ day, 2+ hour ago   (269+ words) The investment targets full-scale functional parts rather than prototypes. Hyundai is using the VX1000 HSS to print large components in single runs, including complete door panels, reducing the assembly steps, joints and tolerance stack-up errors that come with building big parts…...

1+ week, 13+ hour ago   (284+ words) Bicycle saddle manufacturer Selle Italia has released the Unica range at the International Bike Festival, a line of 3D printed bicycle saddles whose internal lattice is formed from a rider’s measured pressure distribution, rather than from a fixed set of cushioning…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (301+ words) A team led by RMIT University researchers has 3D printed a titanium lattice that floats and stays afloat even after severe damage–the first documented floating metal-hybrid lattice metamaterial. Hollow, interconnected titanium struts filled with polyurethane foam let water pass through…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (220+ words) Oak Ridge National Laboratory, working with A.J. Tuck Company, has developed a manufacturing method that merges 3D printing with electroforming to produce complex, leak-free hot isostatic pressing (HIP) cans–the sealed containers used to consolidate metal powder into high-performance components under heat…...

3+ week, 16+ hour ago   (189+ words) “INL and its industry partners will accelerate development of new reactor designs and manufacturing methods using AI tools,” said Shannon Bragg-Sitton, Associate Laboratory Director for Energy and Environment Science and Technology at Idaho National Laboratory. “ORNL’s unique strength is our…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (236+ words) Researchers at EPFL have used 3D nanoprinting to build ultralight aerial vehicles, called microfliers, that convert sound waves directly into thrust. The method – developed at EPFL’s MicroBioRobotic Systems (MICROBS) Lab – removes the need for onboard motors, actuators or electronics. The devices…...
