Additive Mfg & 3D Printing

Stanford researchers have developed a new method to design and 3D print vascular systems, marking a major step toward producing transplantable organs from a patient’s own cells and potentially reducing wait times and rejection risks for thousands on US transplant lists.

Researchers at Arizona State University are working to enhance metal 3D printing processes through the development of artificial intelligence systems designed to improve the speed and reliability of producing critical components, including naval propellers. 

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have successfully demonstrated a pioneering use of 3D printing to repair aging infrastructure, applying a method called cold spray to a decommissioned bridge in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. 

IperionX Limited has secured a major contract from the US Department of Defence (DoD), with the award of a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III agreement that could reach a total value of up to USD 99 million.

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new 3D printing technique designed to reduce material waste and improve the efficiency of printing complex structures.

The market for metal additive manufacturing (AM) in satellite production is expected to grow more than fourfold by 2033, according to a new report released by Additive Manufacturing Research (AM Research), a US-based market intelligence firm specialising in 3D printing technologies.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have demonstrated that 3D-printed metal moulds could offer a faster, more cost-effective, and flexible solution for producing large composite components in the automotive industry, potentially accelerating the adoption of lightweight materials in mass-produced vehicles.

Lithoz has received ISO 13485 certification for its quality management system, supporting its ability to deliver ceramic 3D printing solutions for use in the medical and dental sectors.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed an artificial intelligence system capable of tracing 3D-printed parts back to the exact machine that produced them. 

Titomic Limited has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with DNV, a global assurance and risk management company, to advance the certification of its cold spray additive manufacturing technology for applications in the maritime and oil and gas industries.
