...The heavyweight industrial Filamet has also proven strong enough to block certain types of radiation. That means that companies and individuals can now print tailored shields to protect against potentially harmful rays.

For lining spacecraft ?

Its to stop the deadly rays, that's all you need to know....

Announced at IMTS on the 12th of September, Ingersoll Machine Tools is forming a partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop WHAM. Wide and High Additive Manufacturing, or WHAM, will be a very large AM system featuring targeted laydown rates of 1,000 lb/hr on a build envelop of 23 ft wide by 10 ft high by 46 ft long, which is massive.
The machine would represent an order of magnitude increase in speed and size over current large-format additive manufacturing systems. They could be commercially available sometime in the next 18-24 months.

Interesting, but it seems to be limited to polymer materials.

Indeed, but its those two names that got my attention. An odd couple.

3D printed NeuroBuds win award for female empowerment

First time I've seen anything like this, detecting neuro-signals for personal use?

That is a great idea:

"A team of engineering students from Kochi and Bangalore have just won the Innovation Jockeys 5 award for the empowerment of women for their NeuroBuds – in-ear devices that measure the neurological signals for panic to send out a distress signal on behalf of a victim."

Its an interesting idea, though I've mentioned before that this website had an editorial change sometime ago, and I use it as a heads-up for 3d stuff folks here might like.

Could be a prototype for the Babel Fish...

Swiss researchers working at the “Swiss MIT” have created a new technique for concrete construction using robotics and metal mesh. Using a robot arm to mold metal into a grid like mesh the Swiss team hope to provide a successful alternative to traditional construction processes.

Is this the same Blender some here use for 3D modelling?

Thanks, N.

Dutch company CyBe Construction have placed a concrete 3D printer, the CyBe RC 3Dp, on rubber wheel tracks giving it the ability to roam around a construction site. While concrete 3D printers are not a new innovation, with Sunconomy already attempting to 3D print houses, CyBe believe they are the first to create a mobile concrete 3D printer and so we asked them about their future plans for the printer.

The use of additive manufacturing aka 3D printing for production took another step forward this week with news that the LEAP-1C jet engine has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Association (EASA).
The revolutionary integrated propulsion system is built by CFM, a joint venture between GE and Safran. The engine is the powerplant for the Comac (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China) C919 single-aisle jetliner.
