鲍曼Internationaladopts HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer
鲍曼International, UK supplier and manufacturer of plain bearings and sintered parts, has reduced its production costs and increased functionality with its newHP 4200 Multi Jet Fusion3D printer.
With this 3D printing technology, Bowman International has also created a solution for the production of its bearing cages, including the Rollertrain cage.
“The Rollertrain cage combines the very latest in 3D printing with world-renowned materials science,” said Jacob Turner, Head of Bowman Additive Production.
“Together, this offers OEMs and plant maintenance engineers a split bearing which delivers superior performance and longer product life, alongside simplified mounting and maintenance procedures – not forgetting less vibration and noise during operation.”
$3.6 billion missile site to support future additive manufacturing projects
U.S. Senator Robert Portman has told members of the Eastern Ohio Military Affairs Commission (EOMAC) at the group’s annual meeting that a decision on the placement of a $3.6 billion missile defense site at Camp Ravenna is coming “pretty soon.”
The EOMAC has worked closely with theYoungstown Air Reserve Station(YARS) to support, military missions within eastern Ohio, which have included several 3D printed projects for part replacements. During the meeting, U.S. Representatives比尔·约翰逊（Bill Johnson）和蒂姆·瑞安（Tim Ryan）强调了YARS与增材制造业的合作，以生产替换雷电竞充值飞机零件。
“We want this base to be part of the intellectual future of the military,” said Ryan. “We’re already seeing preliminary results of the investments in additive manufacturing. You can go to Kuwait, to Bahrain and the Air Force is there without the ability to access parts for the plane.”
在建立之前Missile Defense Agencymust decide whether the East Coast Missile Defense System is necessary. This recommendation will take 90 days.
意大利政治家不了解3D打印
Speaking to the press last week,Italian Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio has stated that the plans to build a Franco-Italian railway line, known as TAV, had to be reviewed due to community opposition. In a statement that might raise a few eyebrows as to the full understanding by the politician of technology,Di Maio表示，由于新的工业制造技术，即3D打印，TAV和其他传统的货运运输现在已经过时了。
In other news, theCommunity Trust and Investment Company（CTBI）总部位于肯塔基州，已减少了其股份波音by 13.61% according to its latest 2018Q1 regulatory filing with the U.S.证券交易委员会(SEC) due to Boeing’s0.93% stock declined within the market.

鳄鱼的故事
Researchers from Arizona’sMidwestern University, have created a 3D printed tail for a physically handicapped alligator aptly named “Mr. Stubbs.”
In 2008, the seven-foot alligator was found and rehabilitated by a non-profit animal rescue organization, thePhoenix Herpetological Society。但是，由于他的残疾，Stubbs先生能够游泳或获得食物以及其他鳄鱼。
中西部研究团队在意识到Stubbs先生的情况下，于2013年创建了一个基本的硅尾巴假体。但是，随着Stubbs先生超过假肢，该团队被要求重新审视凤凰疱疹学社会。
“We contacted the 3D scanning and printing companyStax3Dto find out what they could do to help us,” said Dr. Justin Georgi, Associate Professor of Anatomy at Midwestern University.
“They used anArtec 3Dscanner to create a high-resolution, digital model of the tail. We [were able to] manipulate that model to produce any alteration to the tail we needed. We fixed imperfections, made it exactly the correct length and size, [and] adjusted the front end so it matched Mr. Stubbs’ stump with a perfect custom fit.”
