3D Printing News Unpeeled: Failure to Ignite, Connectors, Synchrotrons

Relativity, did now launch after two failed attempts, but this time the second stage failed to ignite. Huge blow to 3D printing. Even though they have $1.3 billion, is it maybe a mistake to make both the rocket and 3D printer? Different companies rather than vertically integrated.

A project with two different synchrotrons looked at the cooling behavior and structured of metal 3D printed parts comparing behavior to the established Kurz-Giovanola-Trivedi (KGT) solidification model which should help make 3D printing a bit more predictable. 3D Systems collaborated with TE Connectivity to make a specific resin for connectors an application that I love.
