Carolina Panthers All-Pro linebacker Thomas Davis suited up with a custom-printed arm brace to protect a nasty fracture during last night’s big game. Photo: Getty Images Davis broke his arm in the game leading up to the Super Bowl, but he was’t about to let that stop him from playing in the big game last night. With the support of a 3D-printed brace he was ready to take on the tackles and last [...]
There has been a new frontier in aerospace 3D printing. Last year Stratasys Direct Manufacturing partnered with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to 3D print 30 antenna array supports for the FORMOSAT-7 Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC-2) satellite mission. A computer-generated image of the FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2, scheduled to launch in 2016.
