 New technology from New
Zealand’s Callaghan Innovation is pushing the bounds of
micro-scale 3D printing. MicroMaker3D brings a new type of
micro 3D printing that will underpin technologies for
prototyping electronics, microparts, microsensors and IoT
components, optical devices and more. The benefits of
micro 3D printing are mini — err, many. A wide range of

 Large-format 3D printing
has become rather popular among paleontologists as the
technology allows them to both study and preserve the
delicate fossils that they regularly handle. Alberta’s
Royal Tyrrell Museum is the latest adopter of AM for the
purpose of recreating dinosaur fossils. For Amy
Kowalchuk, a Royal Tyrrell Museum 3D technician, 3D
printing provides […] |

 In our article on
silicone 3D printing, we mentioned that soft robotics is
benefiting from the technology. Soft robotics are actuated
motion systems that are soft rather than rigid; they’re
usually powered by air, water, electricity, heat, and even
light. To demonstrate how printed soft robotics has led to
the development of soft pneumatic sensing […] |

 Wipro 3D, the AM
subsidiary of Wipro Infrastructure Engineering, recently
launched an additive technology adoption and acceleration
program called Addwize. One of the current hurdles to the
adoption of metal AM is the learning curve of both the
hardware and the new ecosystem. In our article on the
post-processing of metal 3D prints, we discussed […] |

Time Optimizing For 3D Printing With MSC Apex Generative
Design |

 As 3D printing goes more
mainstream, users and manufacturers alike are becoming
increasingly interested in DfAM (design for additive
manufacturing). Who doesn’t want to reduce material usage,
cut print times, and improve part functionality and
performance? Nobody, that’s who. But wanting a thing isn’t
the same as getting a thing, so users who add MSC […] |

Healthcare Partners With Formlabs To Improve Anatomical
Model 3D Printing |

 If you’ve ever laid in an
MRI or CT machine, you’ve probably stared at the GE logo
on the equipment as there’s not much else to do while the
images are taken. GE makes a lot of the imaging equipment
used by radiologists and other healthcare providers so
they make the perfect choice for Formlabs […] |

 Weight reduction is one
of the many drivers pushing the widespread adoption of
additive manufacturing technologies in the automotive
manufacturing industry. For the ‘ultra-lightweight seat
feasibility study’ (ULBS) prototype, weight reduction was
the primary goal, so it follows that they looked to 3D
printing. The study was a collaboration between several
German advanced manufacturing companies […] |
| How
Surgical Residents Can Benefit from 3D Printing |
| Tue, 03 Dec

 The traditional way for
surgical residents to learn and improve at procedures is
to use cadavers (human corpses) that were donated to
science and perform practical surgery training on them.
However, the overreliance on cadavers is a burden on
surgical training due to short supply. At Mayo Clinic in
Florida, one resident thought outside the […] |

 A collaboration between
filament manufacturer Filamentive and wall mounting
solutions producer Pengraff UK has resulted in a new
sustainable business model that takes into account
obsolescence and recycling. By 3D printing wall mounting
for consumer electronics using recycled materials, they’ve
managed to provide an eco-friendly solution for products
with a limited lifespan. Household electronics such as […] |

 The Royal Australian Navy
is testing out a new pilot program involving 3D printing
for vessel maintenance. In accordance with the program,
the presiding Morrison Government is investing AUD $1.5
million for a two-year metal additive manufacturing trial.
This will possibly lead to a significant change in
production workflows for replacement parts and vessel
maintenance […] |
