Brady Neiles of South Dakota’s Game, Fish & Parks, has transformed the way wildlife populations are tracked. Using B9Creations 3D printing technology, Neiles created an expandable collar with a tracker – an alternative to surgical implantation, the only tracking method used on juvenile bobcats today. The potential extends far beyond,…

If there’s one thing that has become clear in the recent evolution of additive manufacturing technologies is that they will not replace traditional manufacturing processes. Instead, they will complement and, in many cases, enhance them. Stratasys is showcasing this reality at JEC World, where it revealed how Spanish composite solutions…

Thermwood has produced what could very well be the largest 3D printed autoclave tool for a helicopter ever made. The project, realized through a partnership with aircraft manufacturer Bell, utilized Thermwood’s LSAM 60 mm melt core technology and reinforces AM’s applications in mold production. In the aerospace industry, long lead…

At this point, we all know that additive manufacturing is a go-to technology for prototyping. Still, that doesn’t mean we don’t like hearing about case studies, especially when they’re as interesting as this one. CRP Technology, an Italian developer of 3D printing materials, and Leonardo Helicopter Division 3D printed a model…
