Northwestern Germany has cemented its position as a leading player in the 3D printing industry thanks to a new state-sponsored centre for additive manufacturing in Hanover. The landmark Niedersachsen ADDITIV facility represents a €1.2 million investment for the government of Lower Saxony, and will focus primarily on research, development, and technology transfer. via Tumblr €1.2 million Niedersachsen ADDITIV 3D printing center unveiled in Hanover, Germany Formnext is one of the popular manufacturing conferences, and recent years have seen the latest cutting-edge 3D printing developments become one of the trade show’s major draws. This year will be no exception, with a host of businesses both large and small showing off their most recent breakthroughs, in the fields of 3D printing hardware via Tumblr Formnext preview: SondaSys 01 SLS 3D printer, Sharebot Antares SLA, atum3D's DLP Station 5, SABIC's new filament Biologists at Cornell University in New York have 3D printed a microscopic artificial small intestine. The synthetic gut could help researchers better understand bacteria and the human immune system. via Tumblr 3D printed small intestine helps Cornell scientists understand gut bacteria A group of LLNL researchers, joined on their work by scientists from Ames National Laboratory, Georgia Tech University, and Oregon State University, have achieved a “breakthrough” in the additive manufacturing of 316L, a common form of “marine grade” stainless steel with a low-carbon composition. Marine grade steels, used in places like oil pipelines, engine parts, and kitchen equipment, typically have a low corrosiveness and high ductility. via Tumblr Breakthrough: LLNL 3D printed marine grade stainless steel now three times stronger As exciting as 3D printing technology itself is, it’s also exciting to see it enabling progress in other technological fields. Antenna design, a relatively unheralded but crucial field that has contributed to the incredible development of communication technologies over the last few decades, is the latest to benefit from 3D printing. via Tumblr Ohio researchers use 3D printing to develop 'Hovering' millimeter wave antenna arrays with improved signal strength 3D printing news just keeps coming, and we know it’s not always easy to stay abreast of all the exciting developments. That’s why we’re here with a brief summary of things you might have missed recently, including Ricoh developing a new material, J Group Robotics launching a new FDM machine, and more besides. via Tumblr 3D Printing News Roundup: Ricoh's new material, Bio-based 3D printing polymer, 3D printed moth antenna replica, more MIT new 3D printed nozzle device could make versatile nanofiber meshes at much lower cost10/30/2017 Researchers at MIT have developed a 3D printed nozzle device for producing nanofiber meshes. The device, made with a DLP 3D printer, matches the speed and power of its MIT-made predecessor, but produces more uniform fiber diameters at a much lower cost. via Tumblr MIT new 3D printed nozzle device could make versatile nanofiber meshes at much lower cost Is distributed manufacturing with flexible 3D printing filament worth it? Michigan Tech finds out10/30/2017 Researchers from Michigan Technological University have conducted a study into the cost of 3D printing consumer goods using flexible filament. The researchers 3D printed 20 flexible products in NinjaFlex filament, analyzing the overall cost and technical feasibility of the 3D printed items. via Tumblr Is distributed manufacturing with flexible 3D printing filament worth it? Michigan Tech finds out Scientists from the Kyushu University in Japan have recently demonstrated the ability to implant their 3D bioprinted liver tissue into rats. The breakthrough could mark a step in the right direction for the development of implantable 3D printed liver tissue in humans. via Tumblr Kyushu University scientists successfully transplant 3D bioprinted liver buds into rats |
