Immensa sets industry benchmark for Additive Manufacturing in the GCC

Immensa announces it has achieved the milestone DNV Certification (“the Certification”) for the additive manufacturing of metallic parts – according to the DNV-ST-B203 AM standard.

GE Aerospace Demonstrates Hypersonic Dual-Mode Ramjet with Rotating Detonation Combustion 

GE Aerospace lifted the curtain on its comprehensive hypersonics program at its Research Center in Niskayuna, demonstrating what is believed to be a world-first hypersonic dual-mode ramjet (DMRJ) rig test with rotating detonation combustion (RDC) in a supersonic flow stream.

Revolutionizing Additive Manufacturing: Researchers Develop Method for 3D Printing Shape-memory Polymer-based Smart Structures

A research team at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, led by Fahad Alam, has introduced an innovative method for 3D printing shape-memory polymer-based smart structures.

Emaar reveals Dubai’s first 3D-printed villa with smart house technologies 

Emaar’s commitment to innovation is evident in the development of Dubai’s first-ever 3D printed house. The pioneering initiative aligns seamlessly with Dubai’s ‘Smart City’ vision, reinforcing Emaar’s dedication to redefining construction norms and harmonizing with the city’s overarching technological and sustainable goals.

DCUBED receives funding for first 3D printing in open space 

DCUBED, a German NewSpace hardware manufacturer, and the Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences have been awarded funding for a joint research project by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Carderock Conducts AM Feasibility Study at the David Taylor Model Basin 

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division’s Naval Architecture and Engineering Department is conducting a Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) model feasibility study to assess the accuracy of using additively manufactured (AM) models for future experiments.

PyroGenesis Receives New U.S. Patent for Its Innovative NexGen™ Plasma Atomization Metal Powder Production Technology for Use in AM 

PyroGenesis announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) has issued to the Company a new U.S. Patent No. US 11839918 encompassing the Company’s NexGen™ plasma atomization powder.

Researchers Create Stable Hybrid Laser by 3D Printing Micro-Optics onto Fibers 

Researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The researchers 3D-printed microscale optics directly onto optical fibers to combine fibers and laser crystals inside a single laser oscillator in a compact way. The resulting hybrid laser exhibited stable operation at output powers of over 20 mW at 1063.4 nm and had a maximum output power of 37 mW.

Ultrasound-activated sono-inks could print 3D structures inside the human body 

A team of US-based researchers has pioneered an innovative 3D printing technique that uses ultrasound waves to create objects from sonically cured inks. The new approach, dubbed deep-penetrating acoustic volumetric printing (DAVP), could potentially enable printing to be carried out inside the human body – paving the way for a range of minimally invasive procedures such as tissue engineering or targeted localized drug delivery.
