Painting of 3D Printed Objects Simplified for Manufacturing
There has been a lot of progress in 3D printing, but one area that still needs modernization in terms of cost and efficiency is how to paint complex 3D printed objects. Researchers at Rutgers University believe they can advance this endeavor with a new way to paint...
Electrochemical Machining & Metal 3D Printing Yield Micrometer Dimensional Tolerances
New research is emerging from Saarbrücken, Germany as Professor Dirk Bähre and his team at Saarland University work to improve 3D printing with metal. . Combining electrochemical machining (ECM) with metal fabrication, their new method allows for many of the benefits...
This research into 3D-printed materials could shape how buildings are constructed in the future
For Dr Phuong (Jonathan) Tran, senior lecturer in advanced manufacturing at RMIT University, the future of building materials comes from looking at what already exists in nature. . “One of the objectives of our research group is to look into nature materials and...
In Vivo Bioprinting Made Possible with Digital Near-infrared Photopolymerization
Researchers from Belgium, China, and the US have come together to study 3D bioprinting, working to expand noninvasive, in vivo applications further. . Releasing the findings of their study in the recently published ‘ Noninvasive in vivo 3D bioprinting ,’ the...
3D-printed ‘cartilage’ could be used for spinal implants
A new liquid crystal material 3D-printed into complex structures can mimic cartilage and other biological tissue, leading the way towards printed spinal discs and other biomedical implants. . Mechanical engineer Professor Chris Yakacki at the University of Colorado...
A Way to Effectively Weld Adjacent 3D Printed Layers Together
Allowing users to create objects from simple toys to custom prosthetic parts, plastics are a popular 3D printing material. But these printed parts are mechanically weak — a flaw caused by the imperfect bonding between the individual printed layers that make up the 3D...
3D Printing Archive Acquired by Penn State
Ennex Research has had an eye on the future since 1975, evolving over the years to have a strong focus on advanced technology like 3D printing, along with other important subjects like human issues. . The Ennex archive of artifacts and resources was acquired by Penn...
Texas A&M Researchers: Eliminating the Weak Spots in 3D Printing
Researchers at Texas A&M, working with scientists from Essentium, Inc, continue to refine 3D printing processes. . Pinpointing one of the most vulnerable areas, the individual printed layers, the researchers and scientists have developed new technology for...
Hundreds Of 3D-printed PPE Are Made Daily In Reno
Some University of Nevada, Reno students and faculty are volunteering to sew masks. Health care workers across the nation are struggling with a shortage of personal protective gear, or PPE, as COVID-19 continues to spread across communities. . In Reno, a network of...
