Moisture remains one of the leading causes of failed FDM prints, wasted filament, and nozzle clogs, yet the standard remedies haven’t moved much in years. Heated dryer boxes work but demand a constant cycle of drying, printing, and resealing that breaks down at any real volume, and they risk deforming temperature-sensitive materials over extended use. …

Oak Ridge National Laboratory and A.J. Tuck Company have developed a hybrid manufacturing process, combining 3D printing, electroforming and hot isostatic pressing, that produces leak-free containers used to build critical components for advanced nuclear reactors, cutting a step out of a supply chain that has long depended on forging capacity concentrated outside the United States.…

The U.S. Navy released new technical requirements Aug. 11 designed to rapidly scale metallic 3D printing across the submarine enterprise, stripping away administrative and engineering hurdles that have slowed the use of additive manufacturing (AM) in submarine construction, maintenance and repair. A New Pathway to Replace Legacy Parts The newly approved Project Peculiar Document (PPD)…

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Idaho National Laboratory (INL) announced a new collaboration to expand the domestic supply chain for industrial pressure vessels using wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a move aimed at accelerating the qualification of critical nuclear components as the U.S. races to scale up its nuclear energy portfolio. The partnership was…

Minneapolis-based company Chromatic 3D Materials has established a rocket propellant test-firing capability at Camp Ripley, a 53,000-acre Minnesota National Guard training facility near Little Falls, under a five-year lease agreement that took effect June 1. The company says the site gives it a closed-loop environment, a propellant print lab paired directly with on-site test-firing infrastructure,…

Italian rider Francesco Furlani has completed over 4,500-kilometer journey from Italy to Nordkapp, Norway’s North Cape, driving a three-wheeled Piaggio Ape TM 703 fitted with a camper body built entirely through large-format 3D printing. The shell weighs around 70 kilograms, compared with roughly 200 kilograms for a comparable fiberglass structure, a 130-kilogram difference that determined…
