By Meghan Collins | The University of Maine | Communications & Information Technology Orono, Maine, October 10, 2019 — More than 250 federal and state officials, business executives, University of Maine System leaders and community members were on hand to witness the UMaine Advanced Structures Read More
America Makes recently awarded a contract to the University of Pittsburgh for developing computational “latticework” for additive manufacturing (AM). The University of Pittsburgh will be in partnership with Acutec Precision Machining Inc, Alcoa Inc, ANSYS Inc and ExOne. In an effort to gain a better understanding Read More
GE (NYSE:GE) researchers recently announced the use of a process called “cold spray,” in which metal powders are sprayed at high velocities to build a part or add material to repair an existing part. Cold spray is part of GE’s expanded additive manufacturing toolkit. GE Read More
by Harvard University BOSTON — A new bioprinting method developed at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) creates intricately patterned 3D tissue constructs with multiple types of cells and tiny blood Read More
GE is committed to additive manufacturing (AM) with a global team of 600 engineers at 21 sites driving additive and other advanced manufacturing technologies. In an exclusive AMazing® Q&A session, we asked Prabhjot Singh, manager of the Additive Manufacturing Lab at GE Global Research in Read More
by ORNL, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Things have come a long way since the mid-1980s when 3D Systems cofounder Chuck Hull worked out the technology to print objects in three dimensions, one very thin layer at a time. Hull called his new technology “stereolithography.” In Read More
By University of Colorado Boulder Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) have successfully added a fourth dimension to their printing technology, opening up exciting possibilities for the creation and use of adaptive, composite materials in manufacturing, packaging and biomedical applications. A team led Read More
by Andrew Careaga Aided by funding from NASA and using methods similar to 3-D printing, researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) are running computer simulations of processes that could lead to stronger, more durable materials for the space agency. The Missouri Read More
