The aerospace industry has been searching for methods for 3D printing with metals, however it's something yet too far. The Mold3d technology comes to circumvent this problem by transforming printed plastic parts into injected metal parts ready for use, without any decrease in resolution and quality.

The latest generation of satellites from Airbus Defence and Space contain special clamps that join the body of the satellite to the feed and sub-reflector assembly at the top end. Clamps manufactured by conventional production methods did not meet the expectations of the Spanish corporate division. The engineers thus chose the additive-metal-manufacturing technique from EOS for production. This process, where metal powder coats are fused by laser, also allowed an easy adaptation of the component's design.

Made In Space's 3D printer, specially designed for use on the International Space Station (ISS), has passed final NASA certifications and testing ahead of schedule.

Due to the project meeting all milestones with minimal risk, the 3D Printer has been moved up to a launch on SpaceX CRS-4 in August 2014 instead of the originally slatedSpaceX CRS-5.

As a part of the White House's Day of Making initiative, Made In Space, Inc. will be showcasing their 'made for space' 3D printer at the White House Maker Faire, demonstrating that making is not limited to this earth.

The White House Maker Faire will bring Makers of all stripes together to celebrate the tradition of building better solutions. Made In Space was selected to demonstrate their additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, hardware that has been customized for use on the International Space Station (ISS). The Made In Space printer will be traveling to the ISS this summer to become the first manufacturing device used off-Earth.

Entirely 3D printed auto-follow device for GoPro cameras begins US tour

Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq:SSYS), a leading global provider of 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions, has announced that UAV start-up company, Helico, has successfully introduced AirDog, the world's first automated drone designed to track and video outdoor sports and activities, using Stratasys 3D printing technology.

Arcam, listed on NASDAQ OMX, has received an Arcam Q20 system order from a client in Asia.

Arcam today launches a process for Inconel 718® as a qualified material for use in Arcam's EBM systems. The Inconel process is initially available for the Arcam A2X platform. The machine material parameters and mechanical testing was done in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
