UK-based 3D printing company Photocentric has spun out its space manufacturing activities into a separate business called CosmicMaker. The spinout follows successful demonstrations of its 3D printing technology aboard parabolic flights, where three CosmicMaker printers produced parts while experiencing microgravity. Notably, ceramic materials printed better in microgravity because gravity did not pull heavier particles downward. https://3dprint.com/326832/photocentric-spins-out-cosmicmaker-to-pursue-in-space-manufacturing/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #IndustrialAM

Photocentric has unveiled JENI, a fully autonomous digital alternative to injection moulding. The modular platform houses multiple LCD-based printers and post-processing nodes, delivering a new part every 20 seconds. It can process around one tonne of parts per day, making it ideal for mass producing customized consumer products.
