GE Test Fires Mini 3D Printed Turbine Engine

GE has firmly linked itself with 3D printing, embracing the technology to mass 3D print fuel nozzles for its new LEAP engines, meant to cut carbon emissions and fuel costs by 15%. They’ve already performed test flights with the 3D printed part to certify the engine for operation in a number of airplanes beginning next year. Those new to t...

Though, in the past, traditional manufacturing has been used to create custom implants, 3D printing has a far greater capacity for making complex and elaborate shapes, without the need for manual work performed by surgeons in the midst of a procedure. 3D printing, then, can save time and money during the production of personal implants. Combined with the benefits of tailoring custom implants to the exact specifications of an individual’s anatomy using medical scans, 3D printing stands to revolutionize the medical industry. In August of this year, manufacturer of high-performance biocompatible 3D printing materials Oxford Performance Materials was able to gain FDA approval for its 3D printed facial implants. Now, on the other side of the world, the EU has passed their own approval of 3D printed cranial implants.…

3d printing bike helmets for bike safety

Biking Safer with 3D Printing and Supercomputers

In the face of climate change caused by vehicles running on fossil fuels and the high cost of gas and owning a car, industrialized nations have seen in their citizens an increase in the use of bicycles for travel. Between 2001 and 2009, the number of trips made by bikes in the US grew more than double from 1.7 to 4 billion, according to the National Household Travel Survey. Many city infrastructures, however, aren’t yet prepared for this rise in bicycling and the practice is not yet entirely safe for bicyclists. From 2005 to 2013, 26,000 cyclists were killed or seriously injured in Great Britain. Until the world is a bit more bike friendly, researchers at Cardiff University in Wales have sought to improve bicycle helmet safety by combining 3D printing and supercomputing technology.…
