The October 17 edition of 3DPrint.com's News Briefs rounds up six 3D printing developments from the day, spanning in-situ quality monitoring for metal additive manufacturing, resin printing equipment, 3D printed housing, medical implants, and elastomer production. Key metal AM item: Kamden Shephard, an additive manufacturing research engineer at CCAM (Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing in Virginia), says manufacturers need more than just process data capture—they need in-situ monitoring data that can accelerate qualification and reduce inspection burdens. To that end, he selected Additive Assurance's AMiRIS in-situ monitoring system, a multi-camera near-infrared solution with excellent spatial resolution that turns massive volumes of print data into easily interpretable process information. Shephard calls AMiRIS one of the easiest-to-use systems he has worked with, which is critical for moving a tool from the research environment into production. Other items: Taiwan-based Phrozen launched the Sonic Mighty Revo 16K MAX, a 14-inch large-format MSLA resin printer (US price $1,600, early-bird price $1,350); Habitat for Humanity of Greater Richmond, together with Virginia Tech and others, broke ground on five 3D printed affordable homes using a Tvasta SIRA RC robotic-arm concrete printer (backed by a $1.1 million innovation demonstration grant from the Virginia Housing Development Authority); Lithuania's Vital3D Technologies partnered with Cleveland Clinic to develop 3D printed scaffolds; plus a study on 3D printed bone scaffolds designed around fracture-healing mechanisms, and a Cranfield University 3D printing project to reshape rubber glove manufacturing. Value for powder buyers: the in-situ quality monitoring direction represented by AMiRIS is driving the integration and traceability of print process data with powder batch quality data. Powder suppliers that can guarantee batch consistency and support in-situ monitoring data will find it easier to enter aerospace and defense supply chains with stringent qualification requirements.
