We’re starting with defense news in this weekend’s 3D Printing News Briefs, before moving on to polymers for CubeSats and 3D printed prosthetics. We’ll end with a story about engineering...
Every kilogram sent into space comes at a cost. So engineers have spent decades finding ways to make spacecraft lighter. The next frontier will be producing some of the parts...
In 3D printing, key industries include things such as poka-yoke and manufacturing tools like jigs and fixtures. These low-volume tools save money and reduce errors. Refits in things like military...
For metal additive manufacturing (AM) to grow in the United States, companies need more than printers. They also need a reliable supply of the powders that go into those machines....
After Bedrock 3D split from BASF, the company was independent but still a little unsure about its future. The former Innofil3D operation, later dubbed Forward AM Technologies Netherlands, was BASF’s main...
Inspection software and tooling firm Phase3D has been given a Department of the Air Force contract. Its Fringe Inspection platform will be used in ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). CMCs are...
