"Mantis" is Rosotics' name for its #additivemanufacturing system resembling a giant insect The machine uses induction rather than a laser to melt metal additivemanufacturing.media/articles/manti…

BAKERS, YOU HAVE FOUR DA-- Excuse me, 3D PRINTING PEOPLE, YOU HAVE FOUR DAYS LEFT to enter your parts in The Cool Parts Showcase! The judges are looking for magnificent showstoppers by EOD May 30th. Enter here: bit.ly/42uJAnn

Change I'm seeing in #additivemanufacturing adoption: Design no longer principal driver for many pursuing it Savings in lead time, shipping, inventory the motivation instead. AM vs. warehouses and trucks! Timothy W. Simpson and I talk about this on AM RADIO: additivemanufacturing.media/articles/3d-pr…

New #3Dprinting variant in the latest #CoolParts episode. "Fused Strand Depostion" is FDM, but material is not as fully melted. Pulled like taffy to build the part. Provides a way to 3D print #PEEK for these FDA-approved spine implants More at additivemanufacturing.media/articles/fda-a…

For spine implants made of #3Dprinted #PEEK, Todd Reith of @Curiteva describes the complete mfg workflow Part of our all new “All Access” extension of The #CoolParts Show. Subscribe to get more from each episode! additivemanufacturing.media/kc/cool-parts/…

In #DFAM, rather than considering just part and support design, what about the design of the build plate? These “pucks” hold 1 part each. They can be picked up by robot and chucked in lathe. Part removal is via cutoff, not EDM. DMG MORI USA DMG MORI Europe additivemanufacturing.media/articles/dmg-m…

Win for #3Dprinting sometimes not the form but surface On this tool, hardness just where needed: Ceramic/metal composite applied around the upper wear edge. Bulk of tool cast iron. Via Hybrid Manufacturing. Hard material applied+milled via hybrid CNC machine. additivemanufacturing.media/articles/5-poi…

Big win for #DED is buy-to-fly Part here by Norsk Titanium, made for General Atomics What GA has learned about AM: additivemanufacturing.media/articles/7-les…

New on The #CoolParts Show: Toolingless production of aircraft ducts via #PEKK #nanocomposite Replacement for formed aluminum Part of what makes this possible: pellet-fed #3Dprinting on Titan machine from @3Dsystems More: additivemanufacturing.media/articles/aircr…

Could #AI replace the "generative" part of generative design? What if AI just knew the right answer without iteration? Voxel is working toward this. The way is long but straightforward. It involves testing many, many, many, many geometry samples: additivemanufacturing.media/articles/voxel…

If you're headed to NPE and want to learn more about how #3DPrinting can help with production, tooling & more, join me at the 3D Printing Workshop on May 8. I'm emceeing 🎙️a panel of great speakers. More info: bit.ly/43UYTqM

Hardware for #biomanufacturing needs demanding geometry via #additivemanufacturing. Surface area provides space for billions of cells to grow!
