Top 1: 3D printing in libraries
In the United States, and more specifically in New York, a network of libraries is working to 3D print face shields for full protection. These devices are made on FDM machines, specifically Makerbot, Ultimaker and Prusa, and then sent to healthcare workers in need. The library quickly ran its entire fleet of 3D printers and shows that everyone can now help in the fight against COVID-19 :
Top 2: Metal additive manufacturing
ARC Specialities has recently developed a metal 3D printing process based on Directed Energy Deposition. It uses a robotic arm that deposits the aluminium alloy 5356 layer by layer. It is now capable of designing very complex aluminum parts with new shapes and various orientations. It should be noted that the process in question makes it possible to go further; it can even repair parts that have already been manufactured. Check out the technology in action!
