LPW技术celebrates 10 years

成立于2007年的英国粉末公司LPW技术正在庆祝其在增材制造业工作成立10周年。最初单人行动,该公司仅由创始人菲尔·卡罗尔(Phil Carroll)博士组成,现在雇用了74名员工,其中54名在过去两年中增加了。LPW也将搬到新的2000万美元设施今年晚些时候,希望到2019年将公司的员工人数提高到120。

LPW技术has also begun a partnership with US 3D printing company Stratasysfollowing a $25 million investment.

Aerojet Rocketdyne随3D印刷火箭发动机增加推力

加利福尼亚火箭公司Aerojet Rocketdynehas announced its latest 3D printed rocket engine has been successfully hot-fire tested. The 30,000 lbf thrust-class Bantam liquid-fuelled rocket engine was built with 3D printing and achieved a 500 percent increase in thrust level in relation to its smaller sibling, the ‘Baby Bantam’ engine这是在2014年完全印刷的3D.

这款较大的矮脚火箭发动机是由仅三个添加剂制成的零件,喷油器组件,燃烧室以及喉咙和喷嘴部分构建的。虽然通常,火箭需要100个不同的零件,但这三个3D打印的零件被焊接以创建一个组件。

Aerojet Rocketdyne认为,该发动机特别适用于小型发射车,并将打开门“开发一个低成本,高度可靠的火箭发动机,用于助推器,上层和空间推进解决方案。”

Aerojet Rocketdyne也达到了important milestone in the development of the AR1 enginewhich bids to replace the Russian made RD-180 engine.

Arconic invests $600,000 into global education program

工程材料公司的总部位于纽约,Arconic宣布创建全球高级制造教育计划。通过这项计划,该计划已投资60万美元,预计将在未来两年内在美国,德国,匈牙利和英国接受教育。街道希望鼓励更多学生从事制造业的职业,并解决制造技术中突然发生的转变。也许这些未来的工程师将致力于建设Arconic’s smog eating skyscraper.

Polish museums enlists 3D printing to create replica rifle

The National museum in Poznan, Poland contracted Polish 3D printing bureau立即获取模型创建16世纪的逼真的步枪复制品。枪用工匠扫描仪扫描,然后用Zmorph2.0 SX多功能3D打印机。

步枪印在PLA和Colorfabb的木质灯丝,并为创建逼真的复制品提供了相当大的精加工。在其中心中包含铅杆以赋予相似重量的对象将被博物馆用于示范并保留原始。

Lulzbot3D printers used by Protosthetics to make prosthetics

Headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota companyProtosthetics正在使用3D打印来创建定制的假体和矫形器。该公司已成立了近十二个Lulzbot3D printers into the production workflow and commended the open source nature of the hardware.

Protosthetics的Josh Teigen说,

The benefit of having the LulzBot 3D printers for us has really been the fact that not only are they a high-quality, very robust machine to start with but the community and the Open Source nature have allowed us to basically build on top of that and incorporate our own characteristics and functionality.

出售HP MJF打印机的Novacopy

纳什维尔印刷公司Novacopyhas announced it will now be a provider of sales, service and support for the HP Jet Fusion 3D printers.

Novacopy首席执行官Darren Metz说,

作为3D打印和扫描的全方位服务提供商,帮助客户的想法真实,这是非常令人兴奋的。而且,借助新的HP Jet Fusion打印机,世界上第一个准备生产的3D打印系统肯定会重塑现有的想法并帮助改变未来(更不用说原型制作和沿途短期制造业)。

惠普最近宣布了一项新的全球战略扩大采用公司的Jet Fusion技术。

确切的计量学成为EnvisionTec打印机的分销商

While elsewhere in the States, metrology equipment supplier确切的计量学已宣布它已成为EnvisionTec 3D打印机和材料的大西西部经销商。

确切的计量学has offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Brookfield, Wisconsin. Dean Solberg, co-president of Exact Metrology said the addition would bring “我们达到新水平技术。”该公司最近深入研究了3D印刷行业,并被EnvisionTec的机器印象深刻。EnvisionTec开发了DLP打印机和展示了本月Rapid的最新迭代.

Bartlett建筑学院3D打印“ Voxel椅子”

伦敦大学学院(UCL)Bartlett建筑学院使用了独特的软件来创建艺术3D印刷椅子设计。在设计计算实验室(DCL) at UCL using a robotic arm. The Voxel Chair was designed by Manuel Jimenez Garcia and Gilles Retsin and is currently exhibiting at Centre Pompidou Paris.

To create the chair, the team at the DCL created the software which allows the robotic arm printer to 3D print one continuous line of plastic. The Voxel Chair v1.0 is a prototype to test the functionality of the software and was printed in transparent biodegradable PLA plastic. Rather than slicing like conventional 3D printing software, DCL’s method allows the user to directly manipulate the printhead’s toolpaths.
