Cryogenic Tanks for Space Refueling: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Peter Zelinski | Additive ManufacturingNASA's Paul Gradl describes an important application of AM beyond the spacecraft itself: refueling the spacecraft. Directed energy deposition offers the most practical way to produce aluminum tanks to keep fuel supercool.

Implicit Modeling and Metamaterials: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Peter Zelinski | Additive ManufacturingMetafold CEO Elissa Ross describes one of the promises of more effective modeling of geometrically complex 3D printed forms: expanded use of metamaterials. To what extent can material “properties” come from geometry rather than the material itself?
How Manufacturing Information Becomes "Golden": The Cool Parts Show All Access
Stephanie Hendrixson | Additive ManufacturingBaker Hughes saves optimized production information in its PLM system for reuse later, creating “Golden Master” manufacturing routers. Rohan Buntval, additive manufacturing design engineer, goes into greater detail about how files become golden.
How 3D Printers Will Change for Production: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Peter Zelinski | Additive ManufacturingAs Eaton advances toward production of aircraft ducts now made via 3D printed composite instead of metal, a team member involved with this work considers the machine features that will make them more capable for this role.
More 3D Printed IndyCar Applications: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Stephanie Hendrixson | Additive ManufacturingThe top frame isn’t the only 3D printed part used in IndyCar racing. Teams create their own printed parts, and there are other standard components made this way as well. Tino Belli and Dominic Coffey describe several other racing applications, particularly in polymer, in this All Access Extra.
3D Printing for Automated Food Packaging: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Peter Zelinski | Additive ManufacturingParts on Demand CEO Neil van Es shows examples of 3D printed food automation hardware.
More on Testing a 3D Printed Metal Bellows: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Peter Zelinski | Additive ManufacturingGünter Kappler, designer of the metal bellows in episode 64, describes the extent of the testing that has gone into validating the performance of these 3D printed parts.
Curiteva Implant Manufacturing Process: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Stephanie Hendrixson | Additive ManufacturingTodd Reith explains the workflow for creating Curiteva’s 3D printed spine implants from PEEK.
Curiteva on Ti vs PEEK: The Cool Parts Show All Access
Stephanie Hendrixson | Additive ManufacturingCuriteva produces cervical spine implants using PEEK, but today most spine implants are made of metal — specifically, titanium. There are very good reasons to choose titanium, as Erik Erbe describes in this interview clip. But, PEEK may have the edge in terms of stiffness, osseointegration and another important factor we learned about.
