It is critical to inspect formed metal fasteners used in aerospace to ensure zero defects whether for safety, mission-critical performance, or to optimize the manufacturing process.

Conventional methods to do this exist, such as sorting mechanically for size or hand sorting with optical comparators. Yet traditionally, it has been difficult to inspect internal threads for tiny defects such as chips, tears, weld spatter, or short or missing threads. Inspecting the vertical walls of a fastener hole and its threads is difficult for the human eye due to their small size, as well as lighting and viewing issues. Not only is such an inspection process slow, labor intensive, and subject to interpretation, it is prone to human error – particularly for long periods when fatigue can degrade accuracy.

However, even typical cameras and laser-based equipment have difficulty detecting required features inside of parts, and the deeper the hole or recess, the more challenging this becomes. www.hltool.com.

After 8 months, his lung development caused concerns, although he was sent home with his parents as his breathing was normal. Six weeks later, Kaiba stopped breathing and turned blue. He was diagnosed with tracheobronchomalacia, a long Latin word that means his that windpipe was so weak that it collapsed. He had a tracheostomy and was put on a ventilator – the conventional treatment. Medical 3D Printing Applications.

This article will discuss the requirements within the medical industry that make AM an ideally suited technology for many applications.

Medical 3D Printing Applications

Introduction At a rapidly growing rate, the medical industry continues to recognise the added value of additive manufacturing (AM or 3D Printing) for a vast range of medical applications. AM is now used in the development of new surgical cutting and drill guides, orthopedic implants, and prosthetics as well as the creation of patient-specific replicas of bones, organs, and blood vessels. A study by Wohlers in 2015 revealed that 13% of all 3D printing revenue comes from companies who are linked to the medical industry.

More than 20 different implants ranging from cranial implants to hip, knee, and spinal implants approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are produced with various AM technologies.

Image copyright ABMU Health Board A man has had his chest rebuilt using 3D printing technology during an operation to remove a large tumour.

Patient's chest rebuilt with 3D print after tumour surgery

The prosthesis was inserted into Peter Maggs' chest after he had three ribs and half his breastbone removed. The tumour had grown to around the size of a tennis ball, and the procedure left an extensive defect in the 71-year-old's chest. The eight-hour operation was carried out by surgeons at Morriston Hospital, Swansea. Want to Build a 3D Printer? Look No Further Than Your Electronic Junkyard. 3D printing: the revolution will be global. Essential Science: 3D printed rocket parts now a reality. The news comes from NASA, where technologists have succeeded in tested an RS-25 rocket engine, that contains a large 3D printed component, for the very first time.

Essential Science: 3D printed rocket parts now a reality

This is a significant stepping stone towards entire rocket engines being produced through 3D printing. Over the short-term, the success of the trial is a step towards lowering the costs associated with the engines set to power NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket: the Space Launch System. The Space Launch System is a type of space shuttle heavy expendable launch vehicle, and it is part of NASA's deep space exploration plans such as the much discussed manned mission to Mars. Most powerful rocket ever The Space Launch System is to be the most powerful rocket ever built, possessing a total thrust greater than that of the Saturn V (used for the Moon missions). This is not the end of the development, however, for the vehicle is to be upgraded over time with more powerful versions.

How 3-D printing is moving from the lab to factory floor. As more manufacturers eye 3-D printers for production, they are learning how it may redefine their entire industry. 3-D printing technology is slowly emerging from its role as an efficient prototype generator to that of a producer of finished, market-ready goods. As manufacturers eye this emerging technology, they are beginning to consider how it will fundamentally alter the factory floor as a replacement for or complement to traditional manufacturing tools, such as injection molding, casting, machining, and other systems.

The road ahead for 3-D printing. As 3-D printers become faster, easier to use, handle multiple materials, and print active components or systems, they will find use beyond rapid prototyping. The technology for 3-D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has existed in some form since the 1980s. However, the technology has not been capable enough or cost-effective for most end-product or high-volume commercial manufacturing.

Expectations are running high that these shortcomings are about to change. Several technology trends are feeding these expectations.
