Florida International University (FIU) has acquired a WarpSPEE3D metal 3D printer from SPEE3D, an Australian manufacturer of metal additive manufacturing systems. The machine will serve as a centerpiece at FIU’s Cold Spray and Rapid Deposition (ColRAD) Laboratory, located within the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at the College of Engineering and Computing (EC) campus.

3D printing is redefining dentistry, bringing precision, speed, and accessibility that traditional methods can’t match. From cutting patient visits to addressing the global shortage of dental technicians, digital manufacturing is reshaping how dentures are made and delivered. To understand this transformation, I spoke with Chris Kabot, the new VP of Dental at 3D printer OEM

US spacecraft company Portal Space Systems has conducted what it describes as a first-of-its-kind test for the commercial space industry, successfully operating a solar thermal propulsion (STP) system at full power and high temperatures inside a vacuum chamber. The demonstration validated key elements of the technology used in Supernova, the company’s spacecraft designed for long-duration
