3D Printing News Unpeeled: Drone Factories, DARPA & Sandia

Firestorm Labs, founded by Ian Muceus, formerly of Origin and Stratasys, aims to containerize drone factories.

DARPA is working on the Additive Manufacturing of Microelectronic Systems program, or AMME, which hopes to make a 500-nanometer resolution machine smaller than a one cent coin under three minutes.

Aerosint is alive, the part of Schaeffler has shipped a system, bought in October 2023 to SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering) company California Nanotechnologies.

Sandia researchers have come up with  SWOMP (Selective Dual-Wavelength Olefin Metathesis 3D-Printing) which uses both ultraviolet and blue light with the second wavelength preventing sticking to the vat. Love it.
