Researchers at Stanford University have announced the development of a polymerization process that’s “five to ten times faster” than the current quickest high-resolution resin 3D printers on the market. Essentially a fresh take on the Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) method developed by Carbon, the team’s ‘iCLIP’ approach involves repurposing an oxygen-filled ‘dead zone’ at the bottom of a CLIP printer’s resin pool. By pumping extra material into this space, the scientists have managed to accelerate the process, and unlock unique conduit-integrated part designs. “This new technology will help to fully realize the potential of 3D printing,” says one of the study’s authors and Carbon Co-Founder, Joseph DeSimone. “It will allow us to print much faster, helping to usher in a new era of digital manufacturing, as well as to enable the fabrication of complex, multi-material objects in a single step.” A comparison of Carbon’s CLIP process and the ‘iCLIP’… read more

We have seen a few examples of additive manufacturing being used to manufacture prosthetic devices for smaller animals such as cats and dogs, but we seldom see it used on larger animals. But this week we have seen AM used to save a horse from a grim end. Read on to know more. Clydesdale Freda is a 15 year old Clydesdale horse living at the Larkrigg Riding School, Kendal, England. Freda had developed a canker in her hoof, and after the canker had been removed it had been patched up with gauze and duct tape in order to keep it from getting infected. This is apparently a completely normal procedure. Printed hoof cover (Image Credit: Andrew Allshorn) The trouble was, the duct tape kept falling off, and there was a high risk of infection and the canker remnants spreading further. Freda has been in a fair bit of pain as… read more
3D scanner manufacturer peel 3d has announced the launch of two new products, the peel 3 and peel 3.CAD. Designed to elevate users’ experiences without compromising on affordability, both new scanners feature a revamped ergonomic design, as well as improved resolution and performance. These upgrades, in tandem with the devices’ industry-first haptic feedback system, allow adopters to generate high-quality models of complex objects regardless of their scanning skill level. “In addition to the boosted performance specs and innovative design of the new peel 3 3D scanners, the fact that each can be supported with integrated and powerful scan-to-CAD software is something the market has never seen before for this category of 3D measurement solution,” explained peel 3d Program Manager, François Leclerc. “This clearly shows our commitment to democratizing the entire 3D scanning experience for users in many fields.” A diagram depicting the haptic feedback features of the peel 3 3D… read more
This week aircraft manufacturer Boeing has officially celebrated the opening of its Center of Additive Manufacturing Excellence in Auburn, Washington. The facility employs over 100 people who will be operating the multitudes of printers at the factory who will continue to research, develop and manufacture the lightweight components for Boeing’s aircraft and spacecraft products. And that’s a lot of components, as Boeing currently has over 70,000 3D printed parts in their portfolio. Belated opening ceremony. (Image credit: City of Auburn) While the facility officially opened in 2020, the pandemic cut short any kind of formal opening, and so this week they have finally had the opportunity to rectify that. “It’s been a while since we’ve been doing this, but this is the first time we’ve had the opportunity to celebrate it,” said Susan Champlain, Senior Director of State and Local Government Operations at Boeing. The facility has the capacity for… read more
As the 3D printing market continues to expand, the demand for 3D printing materials with advantageous properties has grown with it. This, in turn, has driven the development of a wide variety of new material categories, brought to market to address specific applications, one of which is flexible 3D printing resins. For its part, Dutch photopolymer manufacturer Liqcreate specializes in developing high-quality resins for SLA, DLP & MSLA/LCD 3D printing in the range of 385 – 420 nm. In recent years, the firm has developed many engineering, jewelry, prototyping and dental materials, which continue to be enjoyed by its customers around the world. Leveraging this accumulated expertise, Liqcreate’s engineers have now put together the below guide, which seeks to advise users on their flexible resin options, and offer tips on the best way to improve both their technical knowledge and print quality. Identifying the ideal TPU alternative Due to their… read more
