Compatible with Bcomp’s powerRibs reinforcement grid, the family of natural fiber materials drives enhanced stiffness, lightweight and a reduced footprint for motorsports and high-performance automotive applications.

Online collaborative platform brings on-demand engineering expertise, digital tools and production capacity for additive manufacturing to the global manufacturing industry.

Recycled composites, additive manufacturing and 3D printing enhance form, function of fun-to-drive personal transport.

The company says it will complete its XB-1 supersonic aircraft demonstrator by December, with flight tests next year.

Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is becoming more common in the aerospace tooling realm. Production tooling can be made quickly and on-demand, which helps the tooling industry keep pace with accelerating composite part design cycles and demand for faster overall part processing speeds.

While traditional applications such as prototyping is still growing, it will be augmented with a variety of new applications.

The trend of employing polymeric additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing for composite tooling is growing.

Flame-retardant polycarbonate filament reaches EN45545 certification and meets REACH and RoHS standards for production of parts in railway, automotive, electronics.

It’s been 12 years since I wrote “Composite Sculpture Bears a Second Look” about the big blue bear sculpture in downtown Denver, CO, US. The project opened my eyes to digital design, and gave me the opportunity to meet the sculptor, Lawrence Argent. Argent passed away last week.

Additive manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, greener parts featured prominently.
