Mighty Buildings, a construction technology company that is revolutionizing the construction industry by using 3D printing, advanced materials, and robotic automation to create beautiful, sustainable, and high-quality homes, has announced a formal partnership with Fortera, a materials technology company that has developed a new cement that reduces CO2 emissions by more than 60% for every ton of cement replaced. This partnership will help advance Mighty Building's mission of addressing the housing availability crisis while becoming carbon neutral by 2028 - 22 years ahead of the construction industry.

Brinter has been developing the granulate-based multi-material 3D printing process as part of the EU Horizon2020 project Novum. The increased concern of environmental issues and technology development has led to growing interest in developing novel, sustainable, yet high-performance materials for industrial additive manufacturing (AM) and for a wide variety of applications such as electrical insulation components and parts for the automotive, marine and medical industry. AM enables rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of complex and lightweight parts without any expensive tools such as moulds.

When asked which application has particularly moved the AM community in recent weeks, one term would certainly come up quickly: the Aerospike component. This is a rocket engine developed by Hyperganic and manufactured by EOS and AMCM. Unlike classic, bell-shaped rocket nozzles, a rocket engine in aerospike form can adapt to the atmospheric air pressure at different flight altitudes.

Solukon will publicly present the software for automatic depowdering at Formnext 2022. By commercialising the software as a Solukon product, the Augsburg-based company is underpinning its pioneering role in the industrialisation of automatic powder removal. Furthermore, with the SPR-Pathfinder®, Solukon is making the Digital Twin of a component usable in post-processing for the first time.
