    FEATURE - Neue 3D-Drucker in London hergestellt
    A 3D printer released next month claims to offer the simplest way for consumers to create everyday objects Ñ but its London manufacturers admit they are powerless to stop people printing gun parts. The Polaroid ModelSmart 250S can create almost anything in plastic or wood based on downloaded designs.
    It is due to go on sale for about £1,500 at the end of March after being launched at the CES technology show in Las Vegas last month. Although cheaper 3D printers are available, Polaroid claims theirs is the easiest to operate.
    It is made in Park Royal by ink cartridge firm Environmental Business Products, which would not let the Standard see the production process, citing commercial confidentiality. The ModelSmart prints in nine colours of plastic and also a wood-based mixture to create items that feel like dense ply. Sites such as Thingiverse offer an array of downloadable designs, from a wristwatch to a Nespresso pod rack or a broken plumbing widget. The London ink company that is Polaroid's global partner wants to bring cheap 3D printing into homes. It follows the launch of Polaroid's 3D printer in Las Vegas.

  • 3D printed ESA PPE

    3D printed ESA PPE
    Face the virus. After 3D printers devoted to space projects were shut down amidst the coronavirus pandemic, an idea to protect those fighting the outbreak on the front line was born.
    Space innovation and local cooperation in a time of crisis are joining forces in the fight against COVID-19 to keep essential workers safe.
    Instead of printing new materials and bricks for future lunar habitats, two 3D printers at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany, were set to work on face shields for hospital workers.

    The printers are steadily producing headbands and brackets for Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, and will be used in conjunction with a filtering mask. This type of face shield is essential in hospitals to protect staff against virus-carrying droplets.

    A strong desire to help prompted the team from the "Advanced Manufacturing" activities of Spaceship EAC to offer their open-source 3D printers for producing face shields components as part of a local MakerVsVirus initiative. The design has been optimised through crowd engineering for an efficient and steady production.

    ESA contributes its parts to the final product together with a wider hub of makers. The first batch of 50 holder elements has already been delivered to a local collection point, where all components are assembled before the face shields are distributed to hospitals in need. The team plans to continue printing remotely to solve the pressing demand as long as printing materials are available.

    The printers were usually busy printing special items for astronaut training and testing ideas for future spaceflight. ESA is investigating how 3D printing could ease the construction, expansion and maintenance of a lunar base.

    Before the lockdown, young minds were working on 3D printing new materials made of plastic and Moon dust simulants that could be used to build bricks for lunar habitats. This technology builds a solid object from a series of layers, each one printed on t

  • 3D-printed thrust chamber
    DUKAS_115898543_EYE
    3D-printed thrust chamber
    Tests start on 3D-printed thrust chamber. Based on hot-fire tests of an Expander-cycle Integrated Demonstrator (ETID) that proved the technology and methods last year, ESA, ArianeGroup and DLR German Aerospace Center have built and hot-fire tested a fully additively-manufactured thrust chamber.

    This first test lasted 30 seconds and was carried out on 26 May 2020 at the DLR German Aerospace CenterÕs Lampoldshausen testing facility. Additional tests are planned next week. The data from this test campaign will be collected and analysed.

    This fully 3D-printed thrust chamber is built in just three parts and could power the upper stages of future rockets.

    Additive layer manufacturing also known as 3D-printing, allows more complex designs for higher performance, vastly reduces the number of parts in this case from hundreds to three, and speeds up production time. This reduces costs and significantly improves the competitiveness of liquid propulsion engines for European launch vehicles.

    This fullscale chamber has a 3D-printed copper liner with integrated cooling channels and a high-strength jacket built on via cold-gas spraying. Its manifold and single-piece injector head are also 3D-printed.

    The production and test of these parts has been performed within ESA's Future Launchers Preparatory Programme.

  • Move over plastic: desktop 3D printing in metal or ceramics

    Move over plastic: desktop 3D printing in metal or ceramics
    Move over plastic: desktop 3D printing in metal or ceramics. These spur gears Ð seen here with a euro cent coin for scale Ð have been produced in stainless steel to a space standard of quality using nothing more than an off-the-shelf desktop 3D printer.

    ESA-supported startup TIWARI Scientific Instruments in Germany has developed a technique allowing low cost 3D printing using a variety of metals and ceramics. Ordinarily producing precision parts in such high-performance materials would be costly in both time and money, but the company can instead shape them using standard 3D printing techniques.

    TIWARIÕs ÔFused Filament FabricationÕ (FFF) print process uses thermoplastic filaments that are embedded with particles of the metal or ceramic the part is to be made from. Once the printing is finished, the part Ð known as a Ôgreen bodyÕ Ð is put through a thermal treatment to eliminate the plastic, leaving behind a metal or ceramic item.

    ÒOnce this plastic-containing body goes through this treatment then what is left behind is pure metal or ceramic,Ó explains ESA non-metallic materials and processes engineer Ugo Lafont. ÒThe result is high-quality parts with very good physical properties. So this cheap, simple technique can offer us additional part manufacturing capability for space applications with an expanded pallet of materials.Ó

    Test parts made using the FFF process in stainless steel and titanium metals, as well as aluminia and silicon carbide ceramics underwent a full-scale campaign of non-destructive and destructive testing at the Materials and Electrical Components Laboratory of ESAÕs ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands, assessing their added value and suitability for space.

    One surprise has been that the parts possess enhanced mechanical performance compared to their conventionally made equivalents Ð for instance, stainleCredit: ESA / eyevine

    Dutch couple become Europe’s first inhabitants of a 3D-printed house. New home in shape of boulder is first legally habitable property with load-bearing walls made using 3D-printing technology
    A Dutch couple have become Europe’s first tenants of a fully 3D printed house in a development that its backers believe will open up a world of choice in the shape and style of the homes of the future. Elize Lutz, 70, and Harrie Dekkers, 67, retired shopkeepers from Amsterdam, received their digital key – an app allowing them to open the front door of their two-bedroom bungalow at the press of a button – on Thursday. “It is beautiful,” said Lutz. “It has the feel of a bunker – it feels safe,” added Dekkers. Inspired by the shape of a boulder, the dimensions of which would be difficult and expensive to construct using traditional methods, the property is the first of five homes planned by the construction firm Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for a plot of land by the Beatrix canal in the Eindhoven suburb of Bosrijk.

    Dutch couple become Europe’s first inhabitants of a 3D-printed house. New home in shape of boulder is first legally habitable property with load-bearing walls made using 3D-printing technology
    A Dutch couple have become Europe’s first tenants of a fully 3D printed house in a development that its backers believe will open up a world of choice in the shape and style of the homes of the future. Elize Lutz, 70, and Harrie Dekkers, 67, retired shopkeepers from Amsterdam, received their digital key – an app allowing them to open the front door of their two-bedroom bungalow at the press of a button – on Thursday. “It is beautiful,” said Lutz. “It has the feel of a bunker – it feels safe,” added Dekkers. Inspired by the shape of a boulder, the dimensions of which would be difficult and expensive to construct using traditional methods, the property is the first of five homes planned by the construction firm Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for a plot of land by the Beatrix canal in the Eindhoven suburb of Bosrijk.

    Dutch couple become Europe’s first inhabitants of a 3D-printed house. New home in shape of boulder is first legally habitable property with load-bearing walls made using 3D-printing technology
    A Dutch couple have become Europe’s first tenants of a fully 3D printed house in a development that its backers believe will open up a world of choice in the shape and style of the homes of the future. Elize Lutz, 70, and Harrie Dekkers, 67, retired shopkeepers from Amsterdam, received their digital key – an app allowing them to open the front door of their two-bedroom bungalow at the press of a button – on Thursday. “It is beautiful,” said Lutz. “It has the feel of a bunker – it feels safe,” added Dekkers. Inspired by the shape of a boulder, the dimensions of which would be difficult and expensive to construct using traditional methods, the property is the first of five homes planned by the construction firm Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for a plot of land by the Beatrix canal in the Eindhoven suburb of Bosrijk.
