All the new stuff that’s fit to print (in 3D)

From glass to bacteria, you can print almost anything these days, as researchers backed by the EU-funded ATTRACT project are demonstrating. . Humans have been making glass for well over 5,000 years, but not like this. Recent advances in photonics are driving...

ALM releases PA 830-ESD12 for SLS 3D printing in semiconductors and electronics

Advanced Laser Materials (ALM), a wholly-owned EOS subsidiary and a leader in materials development for industrial 3D printing/additive manufacturing, is introducing PA 830-ESD12, a newly developed material for applications requiring electrostatic discharge (ESD)...

Multi-Axis 3D Printing Technique Improves FDM Strength Over 2X

International researchers have created a novel framework for strengthening 3D prints by aligning filaments, detailing their study in the recently published “ Reinforced FDM: Multi-Axis Filament Alignment with Controlled Anisotropic Strength .” . As has long been...

Versatile New Material Family Could Build Realistic Prosthetics

Nature's blueprint for the human limb is a carefully layered structure with stiff bone wrapped in layers of different soft tissue, like muscle and skin, all perfectly bound together. Achieving this kind of sophistication using synthetic materials to build biologically...
