As tiny and reliable emerging satellites, PocketQubes are “an exemplar of New Space research and innovation.” The original idea came from Professor Robert J. Twiggs from Morehead State University (MSU), who proposed the standard of “a satellite … [Read more...]
CAM software supports DED additive manufacturing
As one of the main additive manufacturing processes, directed energy deposition (DED) uses a focused energy source, such as a laser or electron beam, to melt the build material. The ability to control the grain structure of a part makes DED a good … [Read more...]
Trends in creating electronics through additive manufacturing
The use of 3D printing technology to build devices with embedded electronics has evolved. In the early days, special 3D printers injected dielectric inks onto a layer of a build, creating electronic traces, to build electronic parts. Nano Dimension … [Read more...]
