Metal AM proves successful for globally distributed manufacturing
The vision of using metal additive manufacturing (AM) for distributed manufacturing — 3D printing the same industrial product within specification at geographically dispersed locations — is a compelling one. While conventional manufacturing … [Read more...] about Metal AM proves successful for globally distributed manufacturing
Additive manufacturing amps up fuel cells, drives down cost
Keeping the electricity grid up and running through summer heat waves and winter deep freezes is an ongoing balancing act. Power lines that stretch for miles are vulnerable to wind and fire. Surges in demand for heating and cooling strain capacity … [Read more...] about Additive manufacturing amps up fuel cells, drives down cost

Velo3D announces the Sapphire XC 1MZ for large-format metal 3D Printing
Velo3D, Inc., announced a new addition to its Sapphire family of printers with the Sapphire XC 1MZ. The printer allows customers to print parts one meter in height—with a total build volume that is twice that of the Sapphire XC and nine times larger … [Read more...] about Velo3D announces the Sapphire XC 1MZ for large-format metal 3D Printing
3D print complex rocket components for low-cost, small satellite delivery systems
Humankind launched the first orbital satellite in October of 1957. Sixty-five years later, more than 5,000 satellites are in service, with roughly half of them placed into low earth orbit (LEO) over the past two years. Much but not all of this … [Read more...] about 3D print complex rocket components for low-cost, small satellite delivery systems
