Materials science researchers from Hunan University in China have revealed a new bionic functional surface that achieves programmable and patterned droplet bouncing. The project holds potential for various applications, including self-cleaning technology, energy harvesting, and water management. Traditionally, scientists have drawn inspiration from nature to create water-repellent surfaces, but these natural examples lack the precision […]

A new aluminium alloy powder, designed specifically for additive manufacturing, has been unveiled at the AM Conclave conference in Abu Dhabi. The alloy powder, named AMALLOY, has been developed by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), and is the first metal additive manufacturing feedstock designed in the Middle East. Intended for use on laser beam powder […]

The Prusa Mini 3D printer (Source: Fabbaloo) There’s an interesting implication from the achievement of high speed printing on the Prusa Mini. High speed 3D printing is dominating the world of desktop 3D printing. Ever since the introduction of vibration compensation (a.k.a. input shaping), it’s been possible to build desktop 3D printers that can operate […]

At Stanford University’s Congreve Lab, researchers Tracy H. Schloemer and Daniel N. Congreve are exploring the practical power of manipulating light’s color, with implications spanning from 3D printing to solar energy. The key to their research lies in a process known as upconversion, which can transform low-energy photons into higher-energy ones. While this phenomenon has […]

(Source: Slant 3D) Slant 3D announced a way to integrate directly with Etsy. Etsy has become a popular service for makers using 3D printers. Typically a product is designed for 3D printing, and the Etsy maker then operates their own 3D printer to produce them as required. If the product proves popular, the maker might […]

To understand the industrialization of 3D printing, I spoke to Joseph Crabtree, founder and CEO of AMT, who, with its post-processing solutions, is well-positioned to observe how additive manufacturing is scaling up. “For us to take ourselves seriously as an industry and have that big breakthrough, we need to be considered serious amongst traditional manufacturing […]
