Aurora Flight Sciences has been developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for more than three decades. Aurora teamed with Stratasys to develop a notably complex 3D printed jet-powered UAV. Aurora Flight Sciences in Manassas, VA, has been developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both the civil and military markets for many years. However, with advancing customer needs and requirements, its research and development center is using Stratasys 3D printing technology more frequently for production parts and tooling to help bring new innovations to unmanned flight. Recently, engineers at Aurora and Stratasys embarked on an ambitious project: to build a jet-powered, thrust…

Stratasys plans to remove complexity from design-to-3D print processes with its latest release. GrabCAD Print’s Advanced FDM feature is aimed at ensuring design intent via intuitive model interaction to rapidly deliver strong, light parts, Stratasys notes. By avoiding CAD-to-STL conversion, users are able to work in high fidelity and advance the design-to-3D print process, Stratasys says. Advanced FDM is designed to speed part production, while maintaining creation of purpose-built parts that minimize weight without compromising strength, according to the company. “For design and manufacturing engineers, one of the most frustrating processes is ‘dumbing down’ a CAD file to STL format,…

…a founding member of America Makes, in conjunction with Stratasys Inc., Wichita State University — National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) and the National Center for Advanced Material Performance (NCAMP), and Lockheed Martin Missile and Fire Control, with NIAR research funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). “The significance of this project for the aerospace industry is tremendous,” says Tracy L. Albers, Ph.D., president and CTO, rp+m. “Our open collaboration with the FAA-funded effort to develop a framework for advanced polymer-based additively manufactured materials, in this case, ULTEM 9085, into the NCAMP process was incredibly successful. The project examined an…

…their hardware for use in these applications. In November, Stratasys announced that it had expanded the suite of printers and materials that Materialise had validated with Mimics inPrint to include the J750 and J735 printers and the desktop Objet30 Prime 3D Printer. The J750/J735 printers can create models using multiple textures and both hard and soft materials, as well as multiple colors. “This takes the physician from having to evaluate 2D images in the form of X-rays or CT scans and bringing that information into a 3D world,” says Mike Gaisford, director of healthcare solutions at Stratasys. “The possibilities are…

…around the world. Last year, the company deployed the Stratasys Infinite Build printer at its Research and Innovation Center in Detroit. The Shelby Mustang GT500, which will be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January, will include two 3D-printed brake line brackets, and the Chinese F-150 Raptor will include a 3D-printed interior component. Ford also uses five different 3D-printed tools at its Michigan Assembly Plant, where the Ranger is built. Ford is also using augmented and virtual reality to simulate assembly lines so that it can optimize production while ensuring production line workers are safe and can…

…the hobbyist 3D printing market, MakerBot, now owned by Stratasys, is looking to blaze new ground with its latest offering by bridging the gap between desktop and industrial 3D printing. The newly launched Method, touted by the firm as the first performance 3D printer, is a wholly new platform, designed from the ground up to meld industrial 3D printing capabilities like dimensional accuracy and high-speed output with the user experience and reasonable price points that defined early MakerBot models. Method, priced at $6,499, is aimed at professional design engineers along with the education market, both of which are hungry for…

…engineering consultancy ESG Rail, and 3D printing technology provider Stratasys, to produce four fully approved interior components using 3D printing. The components approved for service include an arm rest, grab handle and seat back table—all of which will now be trialed on in-service passenger trains in 2019. The aim of this collaboration is to leverage additive manufacturing to help address the issue of obsolete parts, reduce whole life rolling stock costs and enable vehicles to remain in passenger service for longer. This has the added potential to lower costs for train operating companies, as they can produce low run parts…
