在本周中期的切片中,我们涵盖了3D印刷新闻,其中包括:Strata Manufacturing,Siemens和Atihad,Organovo,Cloudcities,Renishaw向工程慈善机构捐款,3D印刷轮椅等。

Strata and Siemens 3D printing Etihad plane

Siemens have announced a collaboration with Strata Manufacturing in order to 3D print parts for Etihad Airways aircraft. The pilot project will see 3D printing used to create aircraft cabin interior products. Strata will be enlisted with producing the 3D printed components, while Siemens’ will be facilitating the design process.

阿提哈德航空公司工程首席执行官杰夫·威尔金森(Jeff Wilkinson)解释了该航空公司如何准备推动使用增材制造业的使用,雷电竞充值

The biggest challenge for the use of 3D-printed parts in aviation is certification and we are ready to tackle it and make it a reality.阿提哈德航空工程(Atihad Airways Engineering)将使用其专业知识和主要设计认证批准来设计和认证阿联酋飞机舱的第一个3D打印部分。

Following this initial pilot project, Siemens and Strata will develop a three-year roadmap for further industrialization of additive manufacturing in the UAE. Siemens are encouraging the industrialization of 3D printing with their recent partnerships includingGerman manufacturers Trumpfand软件公司实现

Organovo announce partnership with Australia’s Murdoch Children’s Research Unit

3D bioprinters Organovo who make3D印刷肝组织will aid research in Australia with a new project. The U.S. company has announced a partnership with t他在澳大利亚墨尔本皇家儿童医院的默多克儿童研究所。该项目的目的是:“develop an architecturally correct kidney for potential therapeutic applications“。在非营利组织Methuselah Foundation的帮助下捐赠了一个Organovo 3D Bioprointer,该组织致力于组织工程的进步。

Professor Melissa Little, Theme Director of Cell Biology at Murdoch Children’s Research Institute explains their plans,

Using Organovo’s bioprinter will give us the opportunity to bio print these cells into a more accurate model of the kidney. While initially important for modelling disease and screening drugs, we hope that this is also the first step towards regenerative medicine for kidney disease.

Stratasys宣布紫色鸭嘴兽为钻石级合作伙伴

加利福尼亚原型公司Purple Platypus宣布了Stratasys的“钻石水平”经销商。标题保留给一些能够展示专家技术知识和客户支持的精选3D打印机转售商。钻石水平是Stratasys现在四层类系统的最高层。Purple Platypus的首席执行官Mark Swart说,紫色鸭嘴兽队很荣幸。

Leopoly宣布2016年的成就和未来计划

3D printing software company Leopoly has released their key facts and figures from 2016. The company opened a new Silicon Valley office recently to house their growing team. The software company has an online-based design platform that is embeddable and easy to use. Last year Leopoly reports 120,000 users of their software, with 20 business clients and technology partners. Leopoly recently created an application for the HTC Vive virtual reality headset and forHP’s 3D designing computer Sprout。The Hungarian company hopes to have a similarly successful year in 2017.

Renishaw donates to Engineers Without Borders charity

British industrial 3D printing company Renishaw has donated £16,500 to Engineers Without Borders. The charity, also from the UK, was set up to encourage the use of engineering to incite change in the world, and address the most ‘紧迫的问题‘. Engineers Without Borders run workshops in schools and have also set up a design competition for universities to solve problems through engineering solutions.

Renishaw的编码器产品部总监兼总经理Jim Henshaw解释了它们如何与慈善机构的任务相关联,

我们坚信的能力of engineers to act as a force for good. Our people and products make a real difference to the world in which we live; therefore, we wanted to give support to people with engineering skills who are working to provide solutions to global challenges.

3D printed wheelchairs

British design agency, Layer has teamed up with 3D printing software and services company Materialise to create a 3D printed wheelchair. The GO wheelchair has won an Innovation by Design award for attempts to provide a more personalized approach to the mobility device. The wheelchair seat is 3D printed out of resin and can give the user a number of customizable options regarding design.
