Mighty Morphing 3D Printing

January 7, 2021 By AdvanceTec Writer

3D Printed Morphing Nozzle

Engineers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have created a new shape-changing or “morphing” 3D printing nozzle that was featured as a Frontispiece in the January 5th issue of the journal Advanced Materials Technologies. The team’s morphing nozzle offers researchers new means for 3D printing “fiber-filled composites” – materials made up of short fibers that […]

Laser Inversion Enables Multi-Materials 3D Printing

July 28, 2020 By AdvanceTec Writer

Laser beam transmitting upwards through glass.

Additive manufacturing–or 3D printing–uses digital manufacturing processes to fabricate components that are light, strong, and require no special tooling to produce. Over the past decade, the field has experienced staggering growth, at a rate of more than 20% per year, printing pieces that range from aircraft components and car parts to medical and dental implants […]

A Look At 4D Printing: The Next Big Thing?

May 19, 2020 By Sooraj Ram

While the fourth industrial revolution promises automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, it leaves behind a prudent technology. Along with the cyber-physical systems, Industry 4.0 still clings on to a technology that was devised back in the early 1990s – 3D Printing. Even though 3D Printing remains one of the best manufacturing practices, researchers […]

(Video) Expandable Foam For 3D Printing Large Objects

May 13, 2020 By AdvanceTec Writer

It’s a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge machines are impractical for printing large parts because they take up too much space and require excessive time to print. Now, a new material reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces can be used to 3D print […]

High Color Purity 3D Printing

May 10, 2020 By AdvanceTec Writer

Laser Sintered Samples

Selective powder sintering for 3D printing has recently become an increasingly affordable solution for manufacturing made-to-order elements of almost any shape or geometry. This technique involves heating a bed of powder (such as polyamide, PA12) to just below its melting point, using an IR light source to selectively melt a cross section of the powder, […]

New Technology Revolutionizes 3D Metal Printing

May 2, 2020 By AdvanceTec Writer

Visualization of the 3D Printer

Selective LED-based melting (SLEDM) – i.e. the targeted melting of metal powder using high-power LED light sources – is the name of the new technology that a team led by Franz Haas, head of the Institute of Production Engineering at TU Graz, has developed for 3D metal printing and has now applied for a patent. […]

A Great New Way To Paint 3D-printed Objects

April 28, 2020 By AdvanceTec Writer

Painting 3D-Printed Objects

Rutgers engineers have created a highly effective way to paint complex 3D-printed objects, such as lightweight frames for aircraft and biomedical stents, that could save manufacturers time and money and provide new opportunities to create “smart skins” for printed parts. The findings are published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Conventional sprays and […]
