The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the final winners of the Wind Turbine Materials Recycling Prize! Six teams were awarded $500K each, plus $100K in vouchers to work with DOE national laboratories, for creating cost-effective #recycling technologies that will increase the sustainability of #wind energy systems. ♻️ Since being named Phase 1 winners in January, 20 teams have been competing in the second and final phase of the prize to develop prototypes of their technologies, which solve for the difficult-to-recycle materials used in turbines (such as carbon fiber or fiberglass composites and rare earth elements). The six grand-prize-winning concepts show exceptional potential as full-scale technologies that will enhance the wind recycling industry in the United States.

We are proud to work with partners like the UMaine Advanced Structures & Composites Center to take a significant step forward in advancing additive manufacturing. In our recent on-site interventions, supported by Emil and Justin, we successfully integrated #AdaOne with some of the world’s most advanced 3D printing systems, including the Ingersoll Machine Tools - MasterPrint, the CEAD Group - Flexbot and the JuggerBot 3D LLC - TS P3-44. During these tests, we demonstrated AdaOne’s variable deposition feature, which proved its ability to handle complex printing tasks with precision. We also explored new possibilities by printing with innovative wood fiber composite materials. This collaboration underscores AdaOne’s versatility and our commitment to driving innovation in additive manufacturing. A huge thank you to the University of Maine, and Wesley Bisson, Kyle Warren for their very warm welcome. Let's shape the future of manufacturing! #Robotics #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Research

Girls who code make waves! Educate Maine's Girls Who Code summer campers visited the Advanced Structures & Composites Center to see STEM come to life at the national research level. In the lab, campers connected with students and faculty to learn about the 3D printing process, from our nano lab to the world's largest 3D printer, and about wind energy in the Alfond W2. #futureengineers #futureresearchers #stem #GoUMaine #UMaineDefinesTomorrow #UMaineInnovates #R1 University of Maine

NBC News featured BioHome3D, the world’s first completely bio-based 3D printed house, and discussed how BioHome3D and the University of Maine’s work can alleviate a global affordable housing crisis. “My hope for housing to change the industry is that we move away from materials that are petrochemical based, and we move to materials that are more natural based, and we do it in a way that is safe for people live in. I want my kids to be able to have one of these homes and live in them; that's my goal” said Greg Simms (NBC).
