Robot advancements this week — as mit showed how its cheetah robot can negotiate uneven terrain with gaps and obstacles. the new system called tmic — or trajectory modulation via impulse control — doesnt require pre—mapping of terrain, allowing the robot to travel anywhere. welcome back to the world expo 2020 in dubai. off to italy now, where we posed the question, if michelangelo had had a 3d printer, would he have bothered with all that sculpting? this is an exact replica of his david,...

Welcome back to the world expo 2020 in dubai. off to italy now, where we posed the question, if michelangelo had had a 3d printer, would he have bothered with all that sculpting? this is an exact replica of his david, which has been scanned in incredible detail to within one hundredth of a millimetre. the process took a0 hours, and the result was a 3d file that was then sent off to a massive 3d printer. and even then, the five—metre—tall statue had to be printed in acrylic resin in 1a differ...

And it then creates new verses from words donated by the pavilion�*s thousands of visitors, who make their way up the winding ramp to the top. you can tell this is the uk pavilion because they�*ve built in a massive queuing system. time to add my own genius to the masterpiece. oh, i�*m so original. and then your donation is taken into the structure where you can watch it being absorbed into the walls, accompanied by a soundtrack of international voices and sounds all playing in harmony. of...

This is an exact replica of his david, which has been scanned in incredible detail to within one hundredth of a millimetre. the process took a0 hours, and the result was a 3d file that was then sent off to a massive 3d printer. and even then, the five—metre—tall statue had to be printed in acrylic resin in 1a different pieces, which were then glued together and covered in marble dust. of course, now the data exists from the 3d scan, it�*s not a big leap to think that in the future anyone c...

USA - Wabtec expands metal 3D printing capability

A startup is betting on a radically simplified production chain, capable of building a rocket with 100 times fewer parts than the competition, and in just 60 days.

Tooling & Equipment International expands additive manufacturing capacity with second VX4000 3D printer from voxeljet

Humans have always looked up to nature for inspiration, regardless of their field of activity, as we still have a lot to learn from biological systems. Take the problem-solving skills of ants. for instance, which use a collective approach to overcome obstacles. It is this particular behavior that a robotics engineer tries to emulate with her 3D-printed multi-legged robots.

A new European Space Agency project wants to test the possibility of 3D printing spare parts in space, to be used on lunar stations.
