Growing demands on high-speed data communication, unmanned aerial vehicles and portable medical devices are attracting industries to new manufacturing methods like, for example, Nanoscribe’s direct laser writing technology. Currently, the production of photonic circuits and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) needed for these applications requires different manufacturing methods and multiple process steps for bringing together various components on one microchip. Now, with…

Local Motors has completed the installation of the world’s largest composite 3D printer, the Thermwood LSAM, at its Knoxville, TN microfactory. The large-scale machine will be used to produce Local Motors’ autonomous Olli shuttle. Local Motors has relied on large-scale additive manufacturing systems for quite some time now. In 2016, for instance, the Arizona-based company invested in two BAAM 3D…

Scaling a business is always challenging but it’s an important factor when considering if your “idea” has the legs for the long run. Keeping the balance between your investments and understanding how secure your future really is is an art form by itself. Elon Musk compares running a company to eating glass and looking into the abyss all alone. When…

There is often a tendency in media coverage of the AM industry to position additive manufacturing as a game-changing technology that will replace traditional manufacturing processes. Now that the industry has come into its own, it now seems clear that the technology (indeed a game-changer) has been adopted as a complementary process in some key cases. That is, while AM…

A new 3D printing technique allows highly viscous materials to be used to manufacture a variety of shapes. Purdue University assistant professor Emre Gunduz used ultrasonic vibrations to maintain a flow of the material through the printer nozzle. High-resolution 3D printing of viscous materials is seen as a key evolutionary step in the widespread adoption of AM technologies to manufacture…
