Investigadores del MIT han presentado recientemente una nueva plataforma de impresión 3D. ¿Qué tiene de especial? Es multimaterial y permite fabricar máquinas eléctricas en un solo paso. Gracias a 4 cabezales fácilmente intercambiables, la máquina puede depositar materiales conductores, ya…

Electric motors are essential components across automated manufacturing systems, yet their production and replacement typically rely on centralized facilities and complex supply chains. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are developing a multimaterial 3D printing platform designed to fabricate fully functional electric motors onsite in a single manufacturing step.  The approach could reduce

Michigan organization supporting advanced manufacturing Automation Alley’s Project DIAMOnD has made its Digital Transformation Center (DTC) available to companies beyond its membership network. Businesses can now submit 3D printing orders, gaining access to industrial-grade additive manufacturing equipment and specialized technical support. This expansion furthers Project DIAMOnD’s mission to make advanced manufacturing more accessible to small

La fabricación aditiva es cada vez más popular en la robótica, porque permite diseñar dispositivos flexibles, personalizados y más eficaces. Con el desarrollo de materiales ahora compatibles con los diferentes procesos de impresión, las posibilidades se multiplican y se pueden…

UK-based alloy design firm and Oxford University-spinout Alloyed has received £1 million from the UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) Programme to help bring a new nickel superalloy closer to use in commercial jet engines. Named ABD-1000AM, the alloy is developed for additive manufacturing, and the funding will go toward resolving one of the more stubborn

3D printer OEM Stratasys has introduced a dental anatomical model preset designed for simulation-based education and clinical training. The multi-material 3D printed solution offers a synthetic alternative to cadavers, animal specimens, and stone models, addressing cost, variability, and ethical concerns that continue to affect traditional training environments. As dental education increasingly incorporates digital workflows, institutions

Researchers at the University of Nottingham’s Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM), in collaboration with The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and Autodesk Research, have analyzed how interface orientation affects defect formation and microstructure evolution in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of IN718 and GRCop-42. Published in Additive Manufacturing Letters, the study evaluates horizontal, vertical, and angled

AI-driven 3D manufacturing solutions provider Divergent Technologies and US defense manufacturing company Mach Industries have partnered to create Venom, a flight-demonstration prototype aircraft. The aircraft “moved from concept to flight-ready prototype in 71 days,” according to Alex Lovett, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Mission Capabilities in the Office of the Under Secretary

Researchers at the University of Crete and the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH/IESL) have reported a one-step strategy for fabricating bioactive 3D hydrogel scaffolds using curcumin as a multifunctional photoinitiator in two-photon polymerization (2PP). Posted as a preprint last month, the study says curcumin serves two roles: it enables high-resolution 3D printing while simultaneously

Swedish software developer Hexagon has introduced a portable 3D scanning system that removes the need for reference targets, addressing setup delays in production inspection workflows.  Certified to VDI/VDE 2634-3 and validated by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, the HYPERSCAN 3D scanner is available in two configurations for components up to 7 metres. Reference targets typically
