A research team led by Dr. Sang-woo Song, Dr. Chan-kyu Kim, Dr. Kang-myung Seo at the Department of Joining Technology of the Korea Institute of Materials Science(KIMS), a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT, has developed a foundational technology for controlling the volume of molten metal in the process of 3D printing metal using welding techniques.
The University of Texas at El Paso has joined a project led by NASA to leverage 3D-printing processes with the aim of manufacturing rechargeable batteries using lunar and Martian regolith, which is the top layer of materials that covers the surface of the moon and Mars.
Durability is a critical characteristic of the materials used to produce industrial machinery, marine vessels, aircraft and medical devices. For these applications, manufacturers rely on a particular type of stainless steel known as 17-4 PH due to its remarkably strong and corrosion-resistant properties.
3D printing food could help address global food supply and nutrition challenges. However, there are challenges in acclimatizing additive manufacturing to create edible materials.
Cooking devices that incorporate three-dimensional (3D) printers, lasers, or other software-driven processes may soon replace conventional cooking appliances such as ovens, stovetops, and microwaves.
Applied Research Associates, a New Mexico-based research and engineering firm, has awarded nearly $3.5 million to faculty in the College of Engineering to investigate the most efficient ways to 3D print horizontal mission structures for the US military.
Researchers at ETH Zurich, Empa and EPFL are developing a 3D-printed insole with integrated sensors that allows the pressure of the sole to be measured in the shoe and thus during any activity.
IperionX Limited, a leading provider of sustainable titanium technologies, is pleased to announce the signing of a non-binding memorandum of understanding with SLM Solutions Group AG, a global leader in metal additive manufacturing systems, for the potential supply of spherical titanium metal powders from IperionX’s planned Titanium Demonstration Facility in Virginia to SLM.
Scientists have taken a big leap towards 3D laser-printed materials that can be employed in surgical procedures to repair or implant medical devices.
As 3D printed rockets, car parts, and even homes begin to hit the market on Earth, L3Harris Technologies aims to leverage the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory in its search for durable materials to 3D print satellite components.
