The ultimate goal of medical research is to improve health, but there are still some areas that lack effective answers when fighting diseases.One of them is spinal muscular atrophy. This is an inherited neuromuscular disease, which means it is hereditary and affects the nerves responsible for muscle function. Children with mild symptoms face the prospect of progressive muscle atrophy, loss of mobility and motor function
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a broad term for the production process. In this production process, "material is added layer by layer (rather than subtracting material like traditional processing)." So far, there are seven different types of AM processes, the most popular of which are: FDM, SLA, and SLS. FDM-Fused Deposition Modeling...
Researchers at the US Army Aviation Medical Research Laboratory have used 3D printing to produce and test customizable earplugs for members of the US Armed Forces. New technologies from Army scientists can be used to protect ears to prevent hearing damage to members of the armed forces. Damage to soldiers’ hearing will not only limit their ability to participate in social interactions, but will also make them more vulnerable and lose their readiness on the battlefield.
Britain Xaar, the global leader in industrial inkjet technology, recently announced the establishment of a new 3D printing technology research and development center in Nottingham, which will start operations in January 2017 to provide 3D to machine manufacturers, material suppliers and end customers Printing services and equipment. Xaar has also established a new R&D team headed by Professor Neil Hopkinson
End-to-end manufacturing solutions can speed up the supply chain process and shorten the time for aircraft to be repaired on the ground.The new DuraForm ProX FR1200 material has passed FAR 25.853 (American Aviation Management Regulations-Transportation Aircraft-Cabin Interior Implementation Regulations), meeting the flame retardancy standards required by the aviation market
Mercedes-Benz collaborated with 3D printing studio FATHOM in Oakland, California to design an advanced cargo delivery management system. By using electromechanical modules embedded with sensors, cargo delivery companies can track packages from inside the delivery vehicle. Overall, the Mercedes-FATHOM system is a faster delivery system, eliminating the need to sort and identify packages in the truck. Neal Ulrich, a design engineer at Mercedes
