Every building we step into, every bridge we cross, every piece of infrastructure we rely on is made safer by standards. These technical documents guide engineers, architects, builders, and regulators in designing and constructing a resilient built environment. Yet the system that funds New Zealand’s standards is broken, according to the New Zealand Heavy EngineeringContinueContinue reading “‘We build the standards, why are we footing the bill?’”

MIT ENGINEERS 3D PRINT
THE ELECTROMAGNETS AT THE HEART OF MANY ELECTRONICS Imagine being able to build an entire dialysis machine using nothing more than a 3D printer. This could not only reduce costs and eliminate manufacturing waste, but since this machine could be produced outside a factory, people with limited resources or those who live in remote areasContinueContinue reading “MIT ENGINEERS 3D PRINT”
Introducing on-site 3D printing for new or replacement parts
The demand for 3D printing has moved from the test and trial phase to providing real solutions for differing industry needs.
3D printing project could be used to study COVID-19
New technology being developed by a University of Canterbury mechanical engineer could be used to study the effects of Covid-19 and screen potential cures. Senior mechanical engineering lecturer Dr Yilei Zhang is working on a prototype of a 3D printer that uses hybrid laser beams to speed up production and retaining accuracy. He says theContinueContinue reading “3D printing project could be used to study COVID-19”
Sandvik creates first 3D printed diamond composite
Sandvik Additive Manufacturing has created the first ever 3D printed diamond composite. While this diamond does not sparkle, it is perfect for a wide range of industrial uses. This super-hard material can be 3D printed in highly complex shapes and can revolutionize the way industry uses the hardest natural material on the planet. Diamond isContinueContinue reading “Sandvik creates first 3D printed diamond composite”
