The Department of Energy’s 17 national laboratories are a $12.5 billion network of potentially transformative basic and applied R&D hubs located in or near many of the nation’s metropolitan areas. However, the labs are today underutilized as true economic assets.
 

How can they be better leveraged?

There are lots of ideas out there, but as we argue in a new paper, one of the most effective ways for the labs to increase their economic impact is for them to “go local” and engage more in the advanced industry ecosystems within which they reside.

3-D printing seems to have made everyone’s shortlist of “disruptive technologies,” but the real disruption yet to materialize is at the consumer level. The desktop production facility has enjoyed a high profile for its potential to change the face of manufacturing and retailing. Like the early iteration of a miracle technology that might be seen on Star Trek, the computer-controlled devices can build real three-dimensional things right before your eyes — no assembly plant required.

Printing a Path to Better Healthcare

Mike Hoge GE
April 24, 2014
Additive manufacturing established early roots in the healthcare industry more than 20 years ago by creating implantable devices, hearing aids and affordable orthodontics.  Recent advances that create even stronger materials have provided new opportunities.
Freed from the boundaries of traditional materials, additive manufacturing allows engineers to design more organically, optimizing weight-to-strength ratios with design flexibility.  The process also has the benefits of using less material and producing less waste.
