A team of researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL; Livermore, CA) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT; Cambridge, MA) has developed a new material for additive manufacturing processes that is as dense and light as an aerogel, but has…
Aerojet Rocketdyne has built and successfully hot-fire tested an entire 3D-printed rocket engine. The Baby Bantam demonstration engine was made entirely with additive manufacturing, which reduced part count from dozens of components to only three. Total design and manufacturing times…
As the 3D printing industry begins a steady shift toward end-production parts manufacturing, some of the prototyping-based models it has operated on for 30 years must change. Renaissance Services is actively prototyping 3D printing manufacturing processes. Read More
The latest statistical process control (SPC) software offers manufacturers easy-to-use and effective real-time process quality control. Widely used by the automotive, aerospace and other mission-critical industries, statistical process control software offers its users a simple way to monitor and analyze quality data…
When it comes to quality management, today’s executives are focused on three major business challenges: reducing costs, meeting compliance, and mitigating risk. And the multitude of factors (technology, trends, etc.) attributing to those challenges only continues to breach higher levels…
Airbus is moving into 3D printing for manufacturing its aircraft in a major way. That’s right — not just prototyping parts, but making final, end-product components. Renaissance Services continues to grow our 3D printing efforts. Read More…
“It’s almost unbelievable what’s happening out there.” While additive manufacturing as a tool for prototyping is just hitting the early stages of maturity, production via AM (additive manufacturing) is really just scratching the surface of what is possible. Renaissance Services…
A Canadian company called Structur3D Printing has built the first 3-D printer we’d actually buy. This story includes an interview with Structur3D Printing cofounder and R&D director Andrew Finkle. Read Full Story
