Science and technology, explained simply
Firestorm has developed a mini-factory for the rapid production of modular drones using 3D printing. The xCell mini-factory can be deployed near the front line to produce drones for specific missions or to quickly convert old systems to perform a specific operation. The technology makes it possible to print a drone frame that can be […]
The first metal 3D printer to be used in space is headed to the International Space Station. The Cygnus NG-20 delivery mission, which carries a printer weighing 180 kg, started on Tuesday. Astronaut Andreas Mogensen will install a printer developed by Airbus for the European Space Agency. After that, the spacecraft will be controlled and […]
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new rapid 3D printing technology that uses liquid metal to produce large aluminum components extremely quickly. This is stated on the Institute’s website. This process is called LMP. It uses molten aluminum that is guided through a layer of tiny glass beads and quickly […]
In the world of robotics, the speed of development of 3D printing technologies is growing every year. Researchers at ETH Zurich, together with Inkbit, have proposed a new technology that allows printing robots with bones, tendons, and ligaments using new strong and flexible polymers. The advantages of slow polymer Previously, 3D printing was limited to […]
Postgraduate student of the Mechanical Engineering Institute of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Svitlana Burburska has developed a titanium implant that not only replaces the damaged part of the bone but also grows with it. The uniqueness of these implants lies in the fact that they are individualized, and 3D printing is used to create […]
The world of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is experiencing a real breakthrough, and companies that provide innovative solutions are playing a key role in this. One of these companies is the German Donaustahl GmbH, which presented its new product, the 3D-printed Titan Falcon long-range UAV. Titan Falcon impresses with its technical characteristics, making it in […]
For a long time, science fiction was filled with stories about humanity living in houses on the Moon. Although it may seem unbelievable, NASA plans to create 3D-printed houses on the moon that will be inhabited by both astronauts and ordinary citizens by 2040. According to a New York Times report, which interviewed seven NASA […]
Astronauts have manufactured a human knee meniscus on the International Space Station (ISS) for the first time in history, Space reports. They printed the knee meniscus on a 3D printer in cooperation with Redwire. This will improve the treatment of knee joint problems that are common in military personnel and the elderly. “The meniscus has […]
The building under construction will be an addition to the existing school, which did not have enough places for students. This technology makes it possible to use resources more accurately and reduce material costs. A new school building is being built in Lviv using a 3D printer. The new building is expected to accommodate 100 […]
