Top 5: Using Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing at ‘America’s Shipyard’

Now that Sunday is finally here, we are taking a look back at the best 3D printing videos from the past week. Starting with the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, affectionately referred to as ‘America’s Shipyard,’ where we go behind the scenes to learn more about the use of cold spray additive manufacturing for different parts. Next, learn more about the cheap 3D printed houses currently for sale for under $100,000 as well as how HP has helped JawsTech to scale up its industrial additive manufacturing. To finish it off, delve into a video showing how we can expand use of additive manufacturing in the United States in a video from SAE Government Technologies then check out another on how additive manufacturing can help accelerate speed to market for MIM parts. Happy watching and have a great Sunday!

Top 1: Cold Spray 3D Printing in the Oldest American Shipyard

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard, also referred to as Norfolk Navy Yard, is the oldest and largest industrial facility belonging to the U.S. Navy, built in 1767. But just because it is the oldest does not mean it needs to be stuck in the past, as seen by this next video. In fact, ‘America’s Shipyard’ has adopted additive manufacturing, and more specifically cold spray 3D printing, to use in its work. Learn more about it with Shipyard Commander Capt. Jip Mosmanas he visits Shop 31 and the Cold Spray Team. A great example of how 3D printing is being adopted in its military forces!

Top 2: Cheap 3D Printing Homes Under $100,000

Nowadays, 3D printing in construction has become so common that it almost does not feel like news anymore. But we can always use a reminder of how far we have come! In this video, check out 3D printed homes that are currently for sale under $100,000. All the homes have been built by recycled material and concrete and you cannot even tell that there were 3D printed.
