TÜV SÜD’s Additive Manufacturing Conference

2月开始第二届TüvSüd加法制雷电竞充值造会议,在巴伐利亚的心脏地带举行,汇集了3D印刷专家,行业领导者和学者,分享了他们对实施工业添加剂制造业的想法。雷电竞充值

During the conference, standardization and digitization were singled out as the gateways to a fully automated additive manufacturing system in years to come in regards to material testing, quality assurance, part certification, and process chains.

Space-time research expands for AM

同时,来自Delft University of Technology(TU Delft) developed a method to concurrently optimize 3D printed structures and the fabrication sequence that creates them, specifically in the电弧添加剂制造过程雷电竞充值(WAAM).

最近授予了ISSMO/Springer奖International Society of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization(ISSMO), the research can be explained using the example ofa robot building a bridgein a futuristic scenario, where the bridge must maintain its mechanical strength as it is being built in order to support the weight of the robot.

威廉姆森的地标海事交付

全球海事产业集团Wilhelmsen交付了它声称的“具有里程碑意义的商业交付”of 3D printed parts to dry bulk shipping companyBerge散装. The delivery was part of Wilhelmsen’sEarly Adopter Program与增材制造雷电竞充值服务局Ivaldi Group它于2019年底推出,涉及向船只和其他船只的3D打印备件的供应。

“This is just the beginning of the journey, and we are quickly expanding our offering, together with our key development partners, enabling our customers to benefit from the savings provided by 3D printing, digital inventory and on-demand localized manufacturing,” said Hakon Ellekjaer, head of venture, 3D printing, at Wilhelmsen Ships Services.

Research roadmaps and material exploration

Midway through February, a worldwide collective of researchers from various universities and institutions came together to produce a roadmap for 3D bioprinting, which was published in生物制造.

总结current state of bioprinting,包括技术的最新进展,现在的发展和挑战,本文设想了该技术将来如何改善。纸张涵盖的主题范围从细胞扩张和新型的生物墨水发育到干细胞印刷和基于器官的组织发育,除了生物打印的人尺度组织结构和多细胞工程生活系统。

Elsewhere, research coming out of theTokyo University of Scienceexplored how water molecules react when they come into contact with the surface of graphene, revealing there is much to learn about theinteraction between water and 3D printed materials.

“碳纳米材料(例如石墨烯)上的地表水引起了很多关注,因为这些材料的特性使其非常适合研究地表水的微观结构。”Professor Takahiro Yamamoto, leader of the study.

Advancing dental restorations

SLA 3D打印机制造商formlabsannounced new materials from German dental 3D printing pioneerBEGO用于Formlab的形式3B和2个树脂打印机。使用这些系统,牙科专业人员现在能够3D print temporary and permanent crowns and bridges直接适合患者。

Widely regarded as a specialist in the sector, BEGO has been developing dental-specific 3D printing materials for over two decades. Now, Formlabs’ printing systems will use BEGO’s materials to print permanent single crowns, inlay, onlays, and veneers, and temporary crowns and bridges.

建筑印刷:直播

Danish 3D printing construction firmCOBODdemonstrated its construction technology by3D printing the walls of small four housesduring the internationalBautecconstruction exhibition in Berlin, between 18-21 February. The demo was completed using the company’sBOD2 3D construction printer,旨在为包泰克访客提供一个未切割技术的示例。

Corbod首席执行官Henrik Lund-Nielson解释说:“当您现场打印时,不可能隐藏任何东西。”“通过这种现场印刷,我们记录了我们的技术具有每小时,日复一日地表现的质量,稳定性和稳定性。”

Evonik’s first 3D printing software tool

对2月的后期,德国的规范ialty chemicals companyEvonik推出了它first software tool for 3D printing,旨在帮助制造商为所需部分选择适当的添加剂制造过程。雷电竞充值

由以色列初创公司开发Castor, in whichEvonik invested in late 2019,该软件通过考虑设计的几何形状,材料和财务分析来帮助用户选择。

雷尼沙lands Parkinson’s study milestone

Rounding off the month on a positive note, UK-based engineering technologies firm雷尼沙announced a milestone in a medical study seeking to help sufferers of Parkinson’s disease, for which it developed a patented intraparenchymal drug delivery device using 3D printing.

Initial results of the study were promising并指出神经源设备的可预测和准确的放置,以及该设备和药物CDNF的显着功效和安全性,该设备是由Pharmaceuticals专家开发的Herantis Pharma.

雷尼沙has sinceconcluded an extension to the study, which is currently the only platform to facilitate repeated, intermittent infusions into the parenchyma, and enables patients to receive the infusions in an out-patient setting.
