Nanoscale metal 3D printing?

Nanoscale metal 3D printing?

Ricercatori della Texas A&M University hanno sviluppato una tecnica rivoluzionaria di stampa 3D metallica a livello nanometrico. Il processo nPIMET usa elettroni caldi per costruire strutture metalliche sotto i 250 nanometri, senza maschere né supporti, con energia ridotta del 99% rispetto ai metodi tradizionali.

Custom scaffold: the geometry that regenerates?

Custom scaffold: the geometry that regenerates?

La stampa 3D reinventa scaffold medici con microcanali esagonali per i nervi e strutture gyroid per le ossa. Materiali approvati e geometrie intelligenti migliorano la rigenerazione, ma validazione clinica e normativa sono ancora necessarie.

Predicting the future of advanced metal alloys?

Predicting the future of advanced metal alloys?

Modelli computazionali e machine learning consentono di prevedere proprietà e comportamento di leghe avanzate come HEA e RCCA prima della produzione, accelerando lo sviluppo di materiali su misura per applicazioni estreme in aerospaziale e industria.

Does 3D printing in space produce better ceramics?

Does 3D printing in space produce better ceramics?

La stampa 3D in microgravità migliora le ceramiche: carburo di silicio e allumina si distribuiscono meglio senza gravità. Photocentric ha collaudato CosmicMaker su voli parabolici, dimostrando un processo LCD senza supporti ideale per la produzione nello spazio.

Recycled aluminum at 300°C? Here's how it works

Recycled aluminum at 300°C? Here's how it works

Ricercatori giapponesi hanno sviluppato leghe di alluminio riciclabili resistenti fino a 300°C tramite stampa 3D. Combinando alluminio, ferro, manganese e titanio, il materiale supera i limiti termici tradizionali per applicazioni aerospaziali.

Hybrid 3D Printing: How Does In Situ Electrodeposition Work?

Hybrid 3D Printing: How Does In Situ Electrodeposition Work?

The Polytechnic University of Bari has developed a desktop 3D printer head that deposits copper during FDM printing, creating hybrid polymer-metal circuits in a single session. An accessible solution for makers and rapid prototyping, with limitations compared to industrial methods.

A material that lights up to talk to you?

A material that lights up to talk to you?

3D-printed living materials with bioluminescent microorganisms react to chemical stimuli by emitting blue light. Battery-free and electronics-free autonomous sensors to monitor water and the environment through repeatable visual signals.

Can you really print on Mars?

Can you really print on Mars?

3D printing is the key to sustainability on Mars: regolith and titanium create resistant materials, atmospheric CO2 replaces argon, and in-situ production eliminates dependence on Earth. Earth-based tests are already validating the technology for future human missions.

Recycled lignosulfonate: how does it really work?

Recycled lignosulfonate: how does it really work?

Lignosulfonate-based 3D ink (70%), a byproduct of the paper industry. It leverages reversible physical interactions to eliminate solvents and chemical crosslinkers: processable at room temperature and recyclable up to nine times without degradation.

DISH 3D print without layers?

DISH 3D print without layers?

Tsinghua University's DISH technology revolutionizes volumetric 3D printing by eliminating layering. It uses holographic light fields and wave optics to print millimeter objects in 0.6 seconds with a uniform resolution of 19 μm over 1 cm of depth. Ideal for biomedicine and microfluidics.

4D printing: AI predicts how the future transforms?

4D printing: AI predicts how the future transforms?

4D Printing: smart materials that autonomously transform over time through external stimuli and AI. In medicine, orthopedic scaffolds and devices self-assemble within the body. The healthcare market will reach $4.7 billion by 2034.

3D printing builds with waste?

3D printing builds with waste?

The AddMamBa project transforms steel scrap into metal powder to print high-performance building components with 3D laser technology. Concrete circular economy to reduce emissions, consumption, and waste in the construction sector.
