Two university graduates have designed a 3D printed vessel that can produce around six liters (~1.6 gallons) of drinking water a day, from nothing more than thin air. The aptly named ‘ Water from Air ’ project condenses water from air using 3D printing, advanced materials, and a phenomenon known as atmospheric water generation (AWG). Moreover, they aimed to achieve their goal with a portable and affordable device.
Researchers at Cornell have developed a new method of 3D printing that aims to improve the performance of superconductors. The new process manages to break records and shows promising alternative options for compound superconductor manufacturing. The team believes the technology can aid in fields that are particularly demanding, resource-wise, such as quantum computing .
The manufacturing process isn't exclusively handled by 3D printing, but 3D printing is a core component of the workflow. The team began by 3D printing a
This month, the 3D printing community has seen the announcement of four different tool-changing FDM printers. First was Snapmaker’s U1, a machine we received for review while still in beta testing. Then slipping under the radar was newcomer AtomForm with a 12-nozzle system and a desire to keep things low-key while it tested the waters. This week, Bambu Lab and Prusa Research made surprise announcements of their own.
Prusa Research didn’t
The general trend in 3D printing is for faster and larger machines that provide more build volume with an increase in output. But sometimes it's just as cool to see things printed on a microscale. The benefits of microscopic 3D print can be rather macro. Fabric8Labs revealed at Hot Chips that it has developed a cool new way to 3D print copper into super small structures that can be used for directly cooling processors, which is a huge practical impact to
Creality is set to become a publicly listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, making it the first manufacturer of consumer-grade 3D printers to make the leap into the big time.
The company, known as Chuangxiang 3D in China, is considered the world’s largest consumer 3D printing company, with a 39% market share according to a recent report from market intelligence firm CONTEXT , and a more modest claim of 27.9% from its own Application
