US-based company Tooling & Equipment International (TEI) expands additive manufacturing capacity with third VX4000 3D sand printer As a supplier to General Motors, TEI is using the world's largest ...

The study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates a 3D-printed sand bridge that at 6.5 centimeters can hold 300 times its own weight, ... are wrapped around 3D-printed sand cores, ...

A focused sun beam is a whole lot less precise than a finely-honed laser, of course — but the core concepts are the same. I bet this guy could make a mean sand castle. Techcrunch event ...

Additionally, 3D printing allows BMW to produce sand cores in one piece, reducing the complex design of engine components while optimizing the engine’s efficiency and fuel consumption.

So this is why we have this 3D-printed sand for the cores for the casting. So the casting of the engine block, you end up with this really narrow little sliver of a sand core.

In both cases the innovations, developed by design and casting specialists in Britain, Germany, Japan and the United States, involve 3D printing and industrial sand, the five people said.

Prusa has traditionally made 3D printers, like the Mk4/Mk4s, with a build plate that moves forward and back -- colloquially known as a bed slinger. Core One, though, is a CoreXY machine, so the ...

Silica sand is a cheap, readily available material that has been gaining interest in automotive and aerospace sectors for creating composite parts. Lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber or ...
