3D printing has moved into the construction industry, providing an innovative solution to the challenges facing the sector. Now, Lennar Homes, the homebuilding giant, has announced plans that will scale the technology up to the level of urban planning by announcing the imminent development of an entire neighborhood in Austin, Texas.
The wind power industry is growing, and with it, a demand for parts that can be easily manufactured and recycled at the end of their life. A new project at the NREL in the US has developed a 3D printing method to manufacture turbine blades with recycled resin.
The advent of printing technologies was a defining factor in the mass transmission and reproduction of information and knowledge. A paper in the journal ChemPhysMater considers new printing technology for use in supercapacitors.
A team of researchers from the United States and the Netherlands has used 3D printing to manufacture E. coli (Escherichia coli) biofilms that are resistant to infection.
An aging population and the prevalence of traffic and other accidents are seeing a rise in bone fractures which require some form of bone fixation implant to help address.
Additively manufacturing materials inevitably impacts both their performance and properties. Now, a research paper published online in the journal Additive Manufacturing considers how the properties of stainless steel are affected by laser additive printing methods.
The use of 3D printing could make coral restoration faster and easier. With more advances in this technology, it could be applied to quickly and reliably develop support structures on which corals can grow.
A study in the journal Construction and Building Materials considers the implications of 3D printing mortar using recycled aggregates.
When most people think of wearable devices, they think of smart watches, smart glasses, fitness trackers, even smart clothing.
A new study throws light on the link between corrosion behavior and fundamental materials structure in laser additively manufactured 316L stainless steel.
