Chicago-based 3D printing quality assurance software developer Phase3D has released the Fringe Inspection M2 Series 5 Kit for Colibrium Additive’s M2 Series 5 platform with orders opening on September 16. The new kit allows manufacturers to measure each layer of […]
Texas-based photopolymer specialist Supernova has unveiled a new series of four “Viscogel” materials designed to meet the stringent demands of safety-critical transportation applications. The launch directly targets the high-cost, long-lead-time barrier of injection molding for short- to mid-run production. The lineup is split into two high-performance elastomers for sealing systems and two rigid grades for […]
Restoring blood flow to damaged tissue is a major challenge in reconstructive surgery. Researchers at Penn State are testing a combination of 3D bioprinting and a surgical technique called micropuncture to address this problem, supported by a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. The research is led by Ibrahim Ozbolat, Dorothy Foehr […]
Rosotics, a company specializing in large-scale metal additive manufacturing, has entered the fabrication and testing phase of a federal contract awarded by Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC, a naval nuclear propulsion contractor, at the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory under the U.S. Department of Energy.
