U.S. Army Selects 3YourMind Software to Identify Parts Suited for Additive Manufacturing
As part of the initial effort, 3YourMind software will analyze up to 10,000 selected parts and evaluate them based on technical feasibility, lead time and cost. That will give the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center greater insight as to which spare parts are strong use cases for additive manufacturing.

The ability to 3D print intraocular devices for treating cataracts and other eye conditions could significantly enhance eye care for patients by offering unparalleled levels of customization and design precision, potentially leading to better clinical outcomes.
Read MoreFarsoon SRS Technology Reduces Number of Supports for Metal 3D Printing
The SRS (Support Reduction System) technology was developed to address one of the most challenging aspects of additive manufacturing — internal stress and deformation during the cooling phase of metal LPBF, which can lead to part failure, especially in overhanging structures.
Read MoreArmy Corps of Engineers 3D Prints New Poe Lock Arrestor Arm
New Poe Lock arrestor arm is the largest U.S. civil works component produced by a 3D printer. A six-month Poe Lock closure would temporarily reduce the U.S. gross domestic product by $1.1 trillion, resulting in the loss of 11 million jobs, according to a DHS study. Faced with this challenge, advances in additive manufacturing offered transformative potential.
