Watch3D Printed Air Duct Based on Fluid Dynamics: The Cool Parts Show #26
Air ducts are ubiquitous, but are they all as efficient as they need to be? Computational fluid dynamics informed the redesign of this 3D printed air duct — made to serve a 3D printer.
WatchFiber-Reinforced 3D Printing Expands Control, Applications for Composites
9T Labs’ deposition process places continuous carbon fiber only where necessary to save material, reduce waste, and more precisely control the structure of preform composites.
WatchIs a Gel Bath the Key to Scalable, Affordable 3D Printed Ceramics?
3D printed polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) could find wider application through a process developed at the University of Texas at Dallas that extrudes preceramic material in a self-healing bath for support through printing and curing.
WatchPrintSyst Automates AM Decision Making with AI (Includes Video)
The startup’s cloud-based artificial intelligence tool is designed to help companies adopting additive manufacturing make fast, easy decisions about what and how to 3D print.
WatchMore Than Meets the Eye to Cobra’s 3D Printed Putter
Cobra Golf drew attention in November 2020 with the launch of a limited-edition putter with metal 3D printed head. What this club says about product development, reshoring manufacturing and the future of consumer goods.
Read MoreWhy Dig a Pit in an Additive Manufacturing Facility?
Additive Engineering Solutions moved two of its BAAM 3D printers out of the way and began to dig a hole in the floor. How going lower allows AES to build higher.
Watch3D Printed Cooling Bars Will Improve Observability of Antimatter
An experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be better able to detect the paths of particles thanks to efficient cooling delivered by metal 3D printed tubes.
