America’s Universities Are Getting Optomec’s Metal 3D Printers
On top of being one of Shane’s favorite metal 3D printing technologies, Optomec’s LENS (Laser Engineering Net Shaping) process is one of America’s favourite 3D printing technologies too, it seems. The Albuquerque (NM) metal and electronics industrial manufacturing specialist was…
3D Printed Mesostructured Materials – Flex and Light
Andreas Bastian works as an artist in residence at Autodesk. Since last October he has been experimenting with creating hexagonal meshes for applications in low-cost 3D printed prosthetics. To create these “mesostructured materials”, as Andreas likes to call them, he has been using a…
Is the Strooder Going to Make 3D Printing Filament Better, Cheaper and More Accessible?
David Graves and Greg Gruszecki, the two young entrepreneurs behind start-up OmnyDynamics want to get into the 3D printing market by launching Strooder, which is meant to be the first truly accessible plastic filament extruder, with the potential to make…
Teddy Ruxbin 2.0: Disney's 3D Printed Soft Electronics
Disney Research has come up with a novel 3D printing method that could usher in a new era of scary animatronic bears that come alive in the middle of the night at the edge of your bed. The technique involves…
Shapeways Has the Midas Touch, Adds 14k Gold to 3D Printed Products
You used to think that Shapeways was classless, only offering customers the ability to order 3D printed products made of Silver, Brass, Bronze, and Steel, in addition to an endless array of non-metal materials. How pedestrian! Well, Lucille Bluth, the…
MakerJuice Tries to Undercut FormLabs with 3D Printing Resins
There are indications that 2014 will see a similar explosion of light-based (direct light processing and stereolithography) 3D printers that 2012 and 2013 saw with FDM/FFF machines. After FormLabs kicked off the SLA revolution on Kickstarter and bore the brunt…
Cheaper 3D Printing Filament: Caesar The Opportunity
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury expensive 3D printer filaments, not to praise them. The evil that expensive 3D printer filaments do lives after them; The good is oft interred with your own filament extruder;…
Breakthrough: Digital Light Processing For Metals
Tests have shown that the Digital Light Processing (DLP) based technology developed by the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and its partners, for the 3D printing of ceramic materials can also be made suitable for metals, which will…
3D Printing Finds Its Niche at the RadTech UV + EB Conference in Chicago
The 3D printing conferences are coming! Proliferating like tuberculosis or a new dance craze or tulips in a Dutch field along a country road, 3D printing expos, cons, and neocons are taking root all around the world. Added to the…
