NASA researchers with the Glenn Research Center (GRC) and Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) teamed up to develop GRCop-42, a copper-based high strength alloy with high conductivity. Using powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printing, NASA researchers successfully 3D printed near-fully-dense GRCop-42 components that are resistant to deformation and remain strong even at elevated temperatures. via Tumblr NASA creates special copper alloy for 3D printing rocket parts Japanese company Open Meals is fusing science and sushi to create nutrient-rich foods that is tailored to each diner. By using “biological samples” including “saliva, urine, [and] stool,” via Tumblr Sushi Singularity to serve 3D printed sushi based on customer’s saliva and urine We recently wrote about several projects that aim to increase the strength of 3D printed components. In November 2018, the “Father of RepRap,” Dr. Adrian Bowyer, demonstrated how hollow tubes could make 3D prints stronger. Later, Stefan Hermann at CNC Kitchen experimented with Smart Infill for stronger 3D prints. via Tumblr Strengthening the connection between layers of FDM 3D printed objects with z-anchors Markforged, a Watertown, MA-based manufacturer of industrial 3D printers, closed an $82m Series D round of funding. via Tumblr Markforged raises $82M Series D from Summit Partners, Microsoft, Porsche and Siemens Digital Artisan, a Japanese design lab has teamed up with chemicals company JSR Corporation, , Castem, a manufacturer of precision casting parts, to create “Generative Heel – Formless” high heel shoes using 3D printing technology. via Tumblr Digital Artisan, JSR and Castem create 3D printed Formless generative heels Saudi Arabia’s Elite for Construction & Development Company has purchased what has been described as the world’s largest 3D construction printer from Danish firm Cobod International. via Tumblr Worlds largest 3D construction printer is coming to Saudi Arabia in 2019 A team of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has developed a new method for generating stress adapted orthotropic infill for 3D printing. via Tumblr DTU and TU Delft develop stress adapted orthotropic infill for 3D printing University of Huddersfield scientists have teamed with the Huddersfield company Reliance Precision for two successive 3D printing projects that have earned £2.25 million funding from Innovate UK. via Tumblr Innovate UK £2.25m funds particle beams in 3D printing innovation Jun Aizaki, the founder of New York-based design studio Crème Design, and his team created HyO, a completely organic, biodegradable cup made from a gourd grown inside a 3D printed mould to take their functional shape. via Tumblr Biodegradable HyO-Cups are dried gourds grown inside 3D printed molds |
