Researchers 3D print working drone with embedded electronics
The Engineer: Researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have 3D printed a ready-to-fly drone with embedded electronics using an aerospace-grade material.
The electronics were incorporated in the drone during the 3D printing process, which employs Stratasys’ ULTEM 9085, a high strength, lightweight FDM (fused deposition modelling) material certified for use in commercial aircraft. Cont'd...
3-D-printed robots with shock-absorbing skins
Adam Conner-Simons for MIT News: Anyone who’s watched drone videos or an episode of “BattleBots” knows that robots can break — and often it’s because they don’t have the proper padding to protect themselves.
But this week researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(CSAIL) will present a new method for 3-D printing soft materials that make robots safer and more precise in their movements — and that could be used to improve the durability of drones, phones, shoes, helmets, and more.
The team’s “programmable viscoelastic material” (PVM) technique allows users to program every single part of a 3D-printed object to the exact levels of stiffness and elasticity they want, depending on the task they need for it. Cont'd...

A Data Science Platform for Manufacturing
RapidMiner offers a data science platform that's built to enable people of all skill levels across the enterprise to quickly build and operate AI solutions to drive hard ROI for their organizations. Many data science tools are built to create accurate models, but cannot help manage the models into production, where they can have an impact. The platform covers the full lifecycle of the AI production process from data exploration and data prep to model building, model deployment and model operations. RapidMiner can help with a wealth of manufacturing use cases, like designing smart products, running smart factories, forecasting demand, ensuring quality, reducing production downtime, and managing supply chain risk.
