Professional drone manufacturer Dronavia is working with Sculpteo to design and produce technical components. Dronavia has sought to leverage Sculpteo's additive manufacturing expertise to support the development and manufacture of parachute systems, circuit breakers, remote identification, and geocaging devices.
North Bristol NHS Trust deploys Stratasys J5 3D printer to provide custom treatment to babies with skull distortions

5 days ago | tctmagazine.com | Sam Davies

Reconstructive scientists at North Bristol NHS Trust are using additive manufacturing to produce customised helmets to treat babies suffering from flat head syndrome. Flat head syndrome – known as plagiocephaly or brachycephaly – is caused by pressure on a baby’s skull, typically from sleeping in the same position. According to the UK National Childbirth Trust, one in five babies will suffer from flat head syndrome.
A day in the life of... an Additive Manufacturing Engineer

5 days ago | tctmagazine.com | Sam Davies

TCT's 'A Day in the Life of...' series has been primarily launched for college and university alumni to better understand what career opportunities in additive manufacturing (AM) are available to them. Throughout the series, TCT will spend time with a host of AM professionals to communicate what their day-to-day tasks are, what kinds of teams they work within, what they have learnt on the job, and how they got to where they are today.

Whether Leuven or Michigan, medical or aerospace, for Materialise, collaboration is always the through line. When I first visited the additive manufacturing software pioneer in 2015, it’s message – expressed through elaborate 3D printed lamps that blossomed like flowers alongside unique customised eyewear – was ‘co-creation’. A decade has passed but the theme continues, in its CO-AM cloud-based software platform and in the recently established Leading Minds consortium.

Farsoon introduces large-format 3D printer for copper alloys

1 week ago | tctmagazine.com | Laura Griffiths

Farsoon has introduced its latest additive manufacturing hardware, designed specifically for 3D printing copper alloys. The FS621M-Cu is a large-format system, which includes four 1000W ytterbium fibre lasers (1060–1080 nm) to achieve stable, long-duration printing of highly reflective materials like CuCrZr. The machine features an anti-reflective chamber coating, a smart thermal management system, and tailored laser process parameters.
