Relativity Space, the world’s first autonomous rocket factory and launch services leader for satellites and 6K, the world’s leading developer of microwave plasma technology for the production of advanced materials used in additive manufacturing, lithium ion batteries and other industrial markets, today announced a strategic partnership to prove true sustainability in additive manufacturing production. The partnership is intended to create a closed loop supply chain where certified scrap materials produced at Relativity are turned into powder by 6K, which can then be reprinted by Relativity. The two companies will also explore new materials created specifically for rocket manufacturing and space travel.

Program with Air Force’s Rapid Sustainment Office aims to accelerate adoption of metal additive technologies to improve readiness, sustainment and de-risk spare parts supply chain

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc (GA-ASI) marks an important technology milestone as its first metal additively manufactured part takes to the skies on a SkyGuardian Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) test flight.

Mini EUSO, a first-of-its-kind cosmic UV telescope currently situated on the earth-facing window of the ISS, is housed by an entirely 3D printed structure

Using Stratasys FDM 3D printing in place of aluminum reduced production costs by a factor of ten, as well as saving close to one year in development time

Brian Neff wants to leave nothing to chance. To ensure the quality of the high-value additively manufactured metal parts his company provides for the demanding aerospace and defense sectors, he believes it is imperative to have end-to-end control of the production process – from design and raw materials to final part inspection.

Oerlikon AM, the additive manufacturing unit of global technology powerhouse Oerlikon, announces it will provide metal additively manufactured qualification and flight components for United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) next-generation Vulcan Centaur rocket. ULA is the world's most experienced and reliable launch service provider, with more than 130 launches and 100 percent mission success.

Farsoon first opened it booth at Formnext 2019, the 100-square-meter place was soon packed that more tables and seats have to be ordered. Visitors from a wide range of industries were impressed by Farsoon’s innovative machines:

Followed the first public announcement of the new FS301M metal powder bed system last month, Farsoon is proud to announce the first installation of a dual-Laser FS301M system at an end use aviation customer in the U.S.

First Airline MRO to receive EASA approval to design, produce and certify 3D printed cabin parts

TIGER, the global innovator in 3D material solutions and manufacturer of TIGER high-quality surface solutions, will collaborate with the US 3D printer producer Impossible Objects to develop revolutionary thermoset based 3D printed composites.

Since the announcement of their collaboration in February 2019, Henkel and Origin have been collaborating to develop new materials by optimizing print processes that extend the current boundaries of additive manufacturing. As a result of this partnership Henkel has developed an entirely new 3D printable photopolymer material with fire, smoke and toxicity resistance properties for use with Origin One printers.

The ATOMIQ research project was conceived in order to tackle the digital gap. The goal of the project is to eliminate areas with limited internet access through the use of superfast broadband satellite connections in locations where fibre optic would prove too costly. The project is focused on developing next-generation filters compatible for use with high frequencies, with these widely available in satellite connections.
