General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc (GA-ASI) marks an important technology milestone as its first metal additively manufactured part takes to the skies on a SkyGuardian Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) test flight.
Mini EUSO, a first-of-its-kind cosmic UV telescope currently situated on the earth-facing window of the ISS, is housed by an entirely 3D printed structure
Using Stratasys FDM 3D printing in place of aluminum reduced production costs by a factor of ten, as well as saving close to one year in development time
Oerlikon AM, the additive manufacturing unit of global technology powerhouse Oerlikon, announces it will provide metal additively manufactured qualification and flight components for United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) next-generation Vulcan Centaur rocket. ULA is the world's most experienced and reliable launch service provider, with more than 130 launches and 100 percent mission success.
Farsoon first opened it booth at Formnext 2019, the 100-square-meter place was soon packed that more tables and seats have to be ordered. Visitors from a wide range of industries were impressed by Farsoon’s innovative machines:
Followed the first public announcement of the new FS301M metal powder bed system last month, Farsoon is proud to announce the first installation of a dual-Laser FS301M system at an end use aviation customer in the U.S.
First Airline MRO to receive EASA approval to design, produce and certify 3D printed cabin parts
Etihad Engineering, the industry-leading Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) division of Etihad Aviation Group, has collaborated with EOS, the world's leading technology supplier in the field of industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers, to open the region's first additive manufacturing facility with design and production approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Since the announcement of their collaboration in February 2019, Henkel and Origin have been collaborating to develop new materials by optimizing print processes that extend the current boundaries of additive manufacturing. As a result of this partnership Henkel has developed an entirely new 3D printable photopolymer material with fire, smoke and toxicity resistance properties for use with Origin One printers.
The ATOMIQ research project was conceived in order to tackle the digital gap. The goal of the project is to eliminate areas with limited internet access through the use of superfast broadband satellite connections in locations where fibre optic would prove too costly. The project is focused on developing next-generation filters compatible for use with high frequencies, with these widely available in satellite connections.
Among the newest generations of products, drones are among those that best embody the concept of innovation. Not only for their technical characteristics, but also for the cutting-edge technologies used to develop and build them. As a manufacturing process, 3D printing is increasingly used within the drone production cycle, mainly for prototyping.
Great minds think alike, it’s been said, and the recent collaborative project between AGA and Kanthal demonstrates this truth. Thinking outside the box and finding new geometries are some of the results of their joint move into additive manufacturing with heat resistant material.
