A new manufacturing-oriented control system developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is improving the reliability of large-scale 3D printing by detecting and correcting errors in real time.

A new development in manufacturing using wool as a renewable colour source for 3D printing has been launched in New Zealand, with two companies introducing what they describe as a world-first wool-coloured filament product.

New developments in additive manufacturing are being examined as a potential way to reshape how key safety components for nuclear fuel transport are produced, with a focus on manufacturing efficiency, cost and performance, according to a report published by the American Nuclear Society.

Researchers at MIT have unveiled a new multimaterial 3D-printing platform designed to streamline the manufacturing of complex electric machines, potentially enabling rapid, on-site production of devices that traditionally require specialized equipment.

Conflux Technology has announced that its 3D-printed, configurable transmission oil cooler has completed a full-distance endurance race on a Multimatic-engineered car, in what the company described as a demonstration of reliability and performance under top-tier motorsport conditions.
