Laser scanning and 3D printing - The Natural History Museum’s new Stegosaurus

23.02.2015

While the Stegosaurus happily competes with both the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Diplodocus as being every other child’s favourite dinosaur, it may come as a surprise to learn that as well as being relatively rare in its own time, it has always remained something of an enigma, our lack of knowledge - about its weight, the purpose of those enormous plates, or even how it managed to eat - complicated by a…

Voxeljet AG: Cost-effective investment casting with 3D printing

26.03.2014

Until now, the low volume production of complex parts using investment casting has been associated with long lead-times and potentially high cost. The Schmolz + Bickenbach Guss Gruppe shows that there is another way: It favours voxeljet's 3D print technology for the production of investment patterns, and is setting the benchmark with regard to cost efficiency, accuracy, complexity and production time.…

ESA is 3D-printing moulds for satellite components

13.02.2014

(Nanowerk News) ESO has recently utilised the innovative technology of 3D printing [1] to manufacture moulds for the casting of two new telescope components. These are required for the MUSE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile and are part of the Adaptive Optics Facility project. The 3D printing technique offers great promise in the manufacture of complex custom items, which are often…
