levels of additive manufacturing research. Learn about LPW’s research initiatives, what the sets theTRUMPF TruPrint series apart, and the positive impact this may have on medical additive manufacturing applications, here.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have released a “roadmap,” detailing the desired capabilities, foreseeable challenges, and areas for development in polymer-based manufacturing. The roadmap is a result of a NIST workshop, held last summer, where industry leaders and researchers were brought together to develop a comprehensive plan for the future of polymer-based additive manufacturing. Find out more here.

GE recently added a Roboze One + 400 to its Global Research Center. The Roboze One is one of the few printers capable of 3D printing with polyetherimide (PEI) and poly ether ketone (PEEK). Check out the new system here.

What happened this week in Lasers? Our LasersToday.com Weekly Wrap-Up aggregates industry news, conference updates, & LIA happenings.

Here are the latest updates: 

Laser Industry News

According to New Scientist, a plasma tidal waves may tell us if black holes destroy information. That’s right – a laser-driven tidal wave could test a question that has long plagued physics: is the information inside a black hole lost forever or somehow preserved through the mysterious machinations of quantum mechanics?

Around the world, interest in additive manufacturing is growing. This week, we took a closer look at the ways additive manufacturing is applied in China. From educational programs to successful 3D printed transplants, to innovators in the field, learn about China’s additive manufacturing initiatives here.

LIA Updates

As lasers become increasingly prominent in medical procedures and applications, there is a greater need for safety training among medical professionals. Nurses make excellent candidates for Medical Laser Safety Officer (MLSO) training. Check out the four ways they benefit from laser safety training here.
