new Instead of 2D CLIP embeddings, the relevancy maps resulting from text queries are obtained using 3D CLIP embeddings. This has the advantage that 3D CLIP embeddings are substantially more resistant to obstruction and changes in viewpoint than 2D CLIP embeddings. Moreover, 3D CLIP embeddings are more localized and fit better to the 3D scene structure, giving them a much cleaner appearance. In order to evaluate their approach, the team conducted several experiments on a collection of hand-captured in-the-wild scenarios and found that LERF can localize fine-grained queries relating to highly specific parts of geometry and even abstract queries relating to multiple objects. This innovative method generates 3D view-consistent relevancy maps for a variety of queries and settings. The researchers concluded that the LERF’s zero-shot capabilities had enormous potential in several areas, including robotics, decoding vision-language models, and interacting with 3D environments.MarkTechPost, 21h ago

new CFM engineers were able to slash the LEAP engine’s fuel consumption by 15% compared with the engine’s predecessor, the CFM56, by using breakthrough materials and technologies, including 3D printing. One of the engine’s smaller parts, the metal fuel-nozzle tip the size of a walnut that sprays fuel into the combustor, is so complex that the only way to make it involves 3D-printing it directly from a computer file. So how can a part this small have an effect so significant on fuel consumption? Weight optimization is not only about the weight of the part itself. By designing a component exactly in the shape and size required to fit into the tightest spaces it is possible to reduce the entire weight of the system around a 3D printed part, be it a manifold, a heat exchanger or an incredibly intricate subassembly, such as the fuel nozzle, and many more similar parts to come.VoxelMatters - The heart of additive manufacturing, 1d ago

new SJ: ” I have not heard this statement before. Each AM process offers its challenges and benefits. In Laser Sintering, you are building a part via a process similar to welding. You have to deal with Splatter effects, tension in the part during the build (which is later removed during an annealing process), structural supports and the build plate that all have to be removed post-build. And your surface finish is less than desirable for most applications. But you can use these processes to fabricate some very intricate parts. With any furnace-demanding process, like binder jet or metal filament-based 3D printing, you can get some very interesting parts printed. However, much like in the MIM industry, the engineer designing the part needs to understand the process the part needs to go through. Meaning that they have to understand the part will experience pretty uniform X+Y shrinkage and a greater Z shrinkage (directionally from the printer). So how the part is printed and how the part is later staged in the furnace for processing needs to be taken into account. MIM had demonstrated the repeatability of the process and has really dominated in its applicable markets for years. The AM industry needs to perform enough experimentation and data analysis to reach this same level on consistency. The processing side is certainly challenging, but only without the right support and team in-house to get the work done. If you don’t have the capital or manpower to get the work done in-house, this is where our sister company, DSH Technology really shines. We help part makers from the ground up.

At HANNOVER MESSE 2023, Teufel will be demonstrating that there are other possibilities beyond 3D printing that could revolutionise prototype construction in the medium term. For example, Teufel says it is the world's first - and currently only - service provider to offer the Freeformer AKF process. Based on the Freeformer from ARBURG, Teufel already enables the tool-free production of plastic parts from original materials. The preliminary work is similar to that of 3D printing: the 3D CAD data is first read in and disassembled in order to then recreate the desired part layer by layer. However, the Freeformer, which is designed for industrial additive manufacturing, can do much more than a classic 3D printer by melting commercially available plastic granulates and then producing functional components from the smallest droplets, either individually or in small batches. The Freeformer is not only dust- and emission-free, it is also designed to enable cost-effective individual part production from batch size 1 without the need for injection moulding tools. The Freeformer's installation space offers room for parts up to 154 x 134 x 230 millimetres in size. Since the system is also equipped with two discharge units, the second unit can be used for an additional component, for example to produce parts in hard-soft.https://www.hannovermesse.de, 6d ago

Newswise — Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have created software and hardware for a 4D printer with applications in the biomedical field. In addition to 3D printing, this machine allows for controlling extra functions: programming the material’s response so that shape-changing occurs under external magnetic field, or changes in its electric properties develops under mechanical deformation. This opens the door to the design of soft robots or smart sensors and substrates that transmit signals to different cellular systems, among other applications.This research line focuses on the development of soft multifunctional structures, which consist of materials with mechanical properties that mimic biological tissues such as the brain or skin. In addition, they are capable of changing their shape or properties when actuated via external stimuli, such as magnetic fields or electric currents.Until now, this team of researchers had made several advances in the design and manufacturing of these structures, but they were very limited in terms of shape-design and programming of intelligent responses. The work presented in their latest study, published in the journal Advanced Materials Technologies, has allowed them to open up new possibilities by developing a novel4D printing methodology. “This technology allows us to not only control the way we print three-dimensional structures, but also to give them the ability to change their properties or geometry in response to the action of external magnetic fields, or the ability to modify their electric properties when they deform”, explains one of the researchers, Daniel García González, head of the ERC 4D-BIOMAP (GA 947723) project and associate professor in UC3M’s Department of Continuum Mechanics and Structure Theory.This type of printing is complex since the material to be extruded transitions from liquid to solid during the printing process. It is therefore necessary to understand the material dynamics to adapt the manufacturing process and obtain a material which is sufficiently liquid when it flows through the printer nozzle but, at the same time, solid enough to maintain a specific shape. To this end, they have developed an interdisciplinary methodology that combines theoretical and experimental techniques allowing them to build the printing device from scratch, both the physical part of the device (the hardware) and the computer programmes that allow it to be controlled (the software).newswise.com, 14d ago

According to the team, “There was no way we would have been able to get the packing density of three bands with four elements each in anything other than a 3D printed, non-conductive process. We don’t know of any other satellite with this kind of antenna density.”...Unmanned Systems Technology, 7d ago
It is an exciting time in metal 3D printing right now. We are seeing a lot of new growth and activity in the industry, both in technology advancements and in core services offered to consumers, including printer sales as well as 3D printing as a service (3DPaaS). After a lot of hype over the years, printers are proving to be able to deliver end-use products that are competitive with and exceed those produced with traditional manufacturing methods.thomasnet.com, 14d ago
AM’s core strengths: The ability to optimize via lattice structures and lightweight complex designs that couldn’t be output with traditional manufacturing methods—also play to the natural synergies between robotics use cases and 3D printing. Consider an industrial robot arm loaded up with sensors to drive automation—all of those onboard electronics capabilities increase the robot arm’s payload, which in turn, can significantly degrade operations. Lightweighting component designs, one of 3D printing’s strong suits, can be a game changer in how the robot performs its duties.Digital Engineering, 11d ago
