Ursa Major: innovation in aerospace propulsion through additive manufacturing

The American company is revolutionizing both propulsion systems and 3D printing itself, digitalizing production processes and developing solutions for flexible manufacturing of rocket engines.

Ursa Major

Kai Parthy launches BP28, a base polymer to prepare custom feedstocks for 3D printing of metals and ceramics, while a new European patent explores PVC-based formulations for material extrusion.

Five 3D-printed reefs have been placed off the coast of Argentario at a depth of about 10 meters to protect the seabed from illegal fishing and create new habitats for marine fauna and Posidonia oceanica.

Wells Fargo diventa finanziatore ipotecario preferenziale per le case stampate in 3D di ICON, rendendo questa tecnologia accessibile al credito immobiliare tradizionale.

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.

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.

Stampa 3D e scansioni personalizzano l’attrezzatura equestre su misura. Sensori e progettazione CAD ottimizzano selle, solette e finimenti. Materiali avanzati e strutture reticolari migliorano comfort e performance, integrando tecnologia e competenze professionali per il benessere animale.

ELEGOO launches the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo emoji edition: exclusive design, themed interface, and official models included. A move to transform 3D printers into lifestyle products and expand the audience beyond traditional makers.

3D desktop printers are moving out of the maker niche to conquer professional production. China dominates 90% of the consumer market. Multicolor printing, AI, and increasing reliability enable final parts for cinema and industry, pushing the sector toward distributed manufacturing.

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.

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.

ColorMix in beta on PrusaSlicer enables multicolor printing with few filaments, alternating them per layer to simulate new shades. It works without additional hardware on multi-material printers, but is calibrated only for Prusament PLA and Prusa XL.
