The round-up of last week’s additive manufacturing news includes a strategic marketing partnership between RusselSmith & AM Chronicle to promote additive manufacturing; RusselSmith obtains NUPRC Approval for Nigeria’s First Industrial 3D Manufacturing Solution; Agnikul is planning to manufacture and launch a 3D printed rocket in space; Nikon Announces Investment in Ai Build and much more.
RusselSmith and AM Chronicle Forge Strategic Marketing Partnership in Additive Manufacturing
RusselSmith, a leading provider of Integrated Energy Solutions in West Africa, and AM Chronicle, a prominent platform dedicated to promoting Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology, are pleased to announce a strategic marketing partnership that is aimed at advancing the Additive Manufacturing Industry.
The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), led by the Commission Chief Executive(CCE), Mr. Gbenga Komolafe, recently granted RusselSmith approval to deploy its industrial non-metallic additive manufacturing solution in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
Agnikul Is Planning to Build a 3D Printed Rocket & Launch It to Space
Chennai-based startup Agnikul plans to 3D print a space craft and launch it to the lower Earth orbit in a few days. At the core of this enterprise’s ambitious plans is the creation of “Agnibaan,” a small satellite launch vehicle engineered to transport payloads weighing up to 100 kilograms into a low-Earth orbit.
Nikon Announces Investment in Ai Build Limited
Nikon Corporation (Nikon) today announced an investment in Ai Build Limited, based in U.K. (CEO: Daghan Cam, hereafter Ai Build), which specializes in 3D printing software, through the Nikon-SBI Innovation Fund*1 (investment amount undisclosed).
Boeing begins 3D-printing Apache helicopter parts
Boeing plans to begin testing a full 3D-printed main rotor system for the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter in the spring of next year as part of an effort to cut out long-lead times and improve the overall supply chains for parts that are typically forged, according to company officials.
Researchers developing ‘revolutionary’ multi-material for light-based 3D printing
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is looking for materials that “revolutionize and engineer our future.” Researchers at Iowa State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara think they can do just that by fundamentally changing Digital Light Processing – a type of 3D printing that users light rather than heat to quickly cure and harden liquid resin into plastic layers – to enable multi-material printing.
NIAR Engages Federal Grants to Accelerate Growth of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing
Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) is actively engaging multiple federal resources and programs to accelerate and expand growth of advanced materials and advanced manufacturing in the aviation industry in Wichita, Kansas and beyond.
Incus launches Hammer Pro40 Production Line at Formnext 2023
Incus, Austrian 3D-printing manufacturer specialized in Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM), introduces the new Hammer Pro40 printing solution to upscale their technology for mass manufacturing.
In a new paper, published in Materials Today, Prof. Zou team of University of Toronto describes a novel end-to-end framework used to tailor the microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V, the most widely used titanium alloy in the aerospace and biomedical industries.
Replique launches material database at formnext 2023
The careful and informed selection of materials is crucial for the success of AM projects. So far however, this research process has been manual and labor-intensive. Replique’s material database now provides users with an intuitive platform that empowers them to select the ideal materials for their specific applications.
