A group of international students has developed a 3D printing technique that enables them to print complex binders and proteins into plant-based fish alternatives.  Having begun working together on an EU-backed AM research project in 2017, the Danish-based band of students has recently innovated an extrusion-based 3D printing process for fabricating...

Renishaw Inc. Solutions Center USA has embarked on a partnership with software development firm TRACEam. The project will deploy an end-to-end quality management tool for industrial additive manufacturing systems. The newly developed software will be integrated directly into Renishaw’s InfiniAM API ecosystem and is designed to give customers a simple...

Global chemical production company BASF’s 3D printing arm Forward AM, has reached an agreement to strengthen its partnership with 3D printing process and hardware provider Prismlab. The deal, signed at Prismlab’s Shanghai base, will see some of its 3D printing photopolymer products integrated into Forward AM’s Ultracur3D photopolymer portfolio. Closer...

Protective clothing specialist HEXR, with the help of leading PBF manufacturer EOS, has launched a new head scanning app allowing users to have a custom cycling helmet 3D printed. The “scan-to-print” platform is intended as a flexible and decentralized production system, enabling customizability without sacrificing product safety. Additional support...

“Food-contact applications are definitely a place where 3D printing will take a bigger piece of the cake, it’s only the tip of the iceberg for us with surface treatment. It’s a market that will grow a lot in the coming years, so there’s a big potential there.” That’s how Mads Østergaard, Team Manager at The […]

Researchers from New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering have successfully used Machine Learning (ML) tools to reverse engineer glass and carbon fiber 3D printed components.  By applying ML tools to CT scans of a 3D printed part, the NYU team were effectively able to “steal” the printing toolpaths behind its structural strength, flexibility,...
