3月是一个月的一个月，由新的3D打印技术推出以及汽车和航空航天添加剂制造业的发展，AM获得了吸引力，作为创建最终用途零件以在卫星内部发射到轨道的手段，以及从商用车辆到驱动所有产品赛车。
In more experimental applications, researchers also made progress with developing hypersonic flight-capable 3D printed components. With global tensions and the race for hypersonic-speed fighter jets both ratcheting up, the latter continues to be seen as critical to meeting Western security needs.
Read on for more from Epson, BCN3D, Boeing, SWISSto12, CAES, AMUG, Additive Industries, America Makes, NextFlex, Ford, Alfa Romeo F1, Palitra, and more.
BCN3D & Epson launch technologies
The big news at the beginning of the month was the announcement of粘性光刻制造（VLM）技术。旨在为用户提供可访问性和高性能材料兼容性，预计BCN3Dresin 3D printing debut would see it pitted against stalwarts likeCarbonand3D Systems。
三月也是日本的剑圣电子跨国公司之一的重要月份，爱普生finally launched its first 3D printer。Unveiled at the2022国际机器人展览在该公司首次宣布计划进入添加剂制造计划的大约八年后，据说该系统是使用“扁平螺丝挤出”打印的。
This enables the machine to manufacture with a variety of pellets, including resin granules, metal pellets, and high-performance thermoplastics like PEEK. Ahead of the printer’s launch, Epson issued a statement describing it as “ideally suited to mass customization, as it can produce small batches of parts tailored to customers’ needs with higher quality, shorter lead times, and at a fraction of the cost.”
Satellite 3D printing gains momentum
3D打印可能已经用于制造卫星已经有一段时间了，但是对于该领域的技术来说，三月是一个特别令人鼓舞的月份。Boeing特别是，渴望分享其最新的增材制造业的进步。在一个用例中，该公司透露它正在使用3D打印来增加生产Wideband Global SATCOM satellitefor theUS Space Force。
In another, Boeing unveiled a高通量小卫星设施that relies on 3D printing to expedite production and testing. Now understood to be fully operational, the facility allows for the additive manufacturing of full space-qualified satellite buses.
Elsewhere,洛克希德·马丁的太空部门selected electronics firmsSwissto12andCobham Advanced Electronic Solutionsto3D print satellite-phased array antennasfor its future launch missions. 3D printing these parts, which have the ability to change both the shape and direction of an emitted radiation pattern without actually moving the antenna itself, was said to optimize their coverage flexibility.
Automotive progress on and off the track
In automotive, major players on and off the race track provided a deep dive into their 3D printing activities during March. Ahead of her speech at the2022 AMUG Conference, Ellen Lee revealed how3D printing is deployed at scale at Fordto create everything from functional mock-ups to jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts.
在另一个故事中，跨国汽车制造商宣布已开始使用autonomous robot-operated 3D printersat its facilities. Having managed to get theKUKA- 建造的机器人可以与其他系统“说相同的语言”，福特现在使用它们来实现其生产工作流程的效率节省，包括创建野马谢尔比GT500parts.
On the track, meanwhile,Alfa Romeo解释了如何additive manufacturing helped build its F1 carfor the 2022 season. Due to a revamp in the sport’s regulations, the team’s updated vehicle featured fewer 3D printed parts than before, but those ultimately included were said to be ‘critical’ in nature. Though the outfit is set to morph intoAudi在2026年，还有待观察Additive Industriescollaboration will fair, the companies remain close partners for now at least.
Rize shuts up shop in a tricky economy
随着乌克兰和199年的战争仍在继续造成亚太地区的破坏，许多公司都在努力处理随后的供应和需求湍流。无非是Rize, which ceased operatingin March 2022. Founded in 2014 by Eugene Giller, a former employee of ZCorp, the forerunner to 3D Systems, Rize was known for its Augmented Polymer Deposition (APD) process.
本质上是材料喷射和FFF的组合，这项技术以公司的Rize One系统形式投放市场，据说该系统能够将周转时间减少50％，从而降低成本并提高零件强度。当Rize停止生产3D打印机时，它由一家名为Palitra, set up to support its existing customer base.
After the company ceased trading, it issued a statement saying: “Rize is no longer functioning as a company but don’t worry! Eugene Giller founded Rize with one mission – to bring functional prototyping to the masses with advanced features like composite materials & full-color printing.”
“Thanks to the incredible core team who worked tirelessly to create a technology ecosystem unlike any other filament 3D printer in the world, his vision became reality. While we are incredibly thankful for everything Rize was able to accomplish, it was time to close that chapter to keep the initial vision alive. Welcome to the next chapter. Welcome to Palitra!”
3D printing furthers hypersonic flight
3月也被证明是专门用于生产高超音速飞行零件的3D打印计划的关键月份，这仍然是该计划的关键目标US Department of Defense。通过它的MAGMA Project Call,America Makes授予了一支由波音领导的团队$ 500,000，以资助其研发，以使用具有高速应用的3D打印抗失真零件的新方法。
就此而言NextFlexissued $17 million in fundingto multiple projects, including those focused on the 3D printing of Radio Frequency (RF) and hypersonic flight-related parts, the latter of which is ongoing, and being conducted byGE Research。
