A paper that was just submitted to the Cornell University Library describes how to obtain accurate 3D body models and texture of arbitrary people from a single, monocular video in which a person is moving. The paper was authored by Thiemo Alldieck, Marcus Magnor, Weipeng Xu, Christian Theobalt and Gerard Pons-Moll; it will be presented at the upcoming Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition conference in Salt Lake City.

Ceramic AM in the jewelry & luxury goods sector could grow to $58M by 2027 Additive Manufacturing

by Medical

The benefits of additive manufacturing technologies within the jewelry and luxury goods sector are clear. Processes such as stereolithography (SLA) have opened the doors for intricate and beautiful jewelry design as well as customized luxury ornaments. In the case of polymer-based SLA, 3D printed jewelry typically requires molding and casting post-processes to create the final piece.

Norman Noble adds metal AM for production of next-gen medical devices Medical

by Medical

Norman Noble, a leading contract manufacturer of next-generation medical implants, has now implemented metal additive manufacturing capabilities. AM is seen by the company as a manufacturing solution for new product designs that could otherwise not be produced using standard methods. Additive manufactured, 3D printed parts can now be made from metallic based alloys including: titanium, stainless steel and cobalt chrome. The ability to produce additive-manufactured parts from magnesium and nitinol also is currently under development.

3D Printhuset sets record straight stating no houses were ever 3D printed in a day Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Following the publication of the final report from the Danish Partnership for 3D Construction Printing, 3D Printhuset presented the findings in Saudi Arabia at The Big 5 construction conference, in Slovakia at Smart Building 2018, the leading construction conference in the country, and at the BIM Nordic conference in Copenhagen. The Danish company intends to make more presentations in April. 3D Printhuset argues that several recent undocumented claims about buildings completed in 24 hours and skyscrapers to be printed soon are fueling the interest in obtaining more objective information.

New Superstuff brand takes 3D printed design-technology products to the mass market Consumer Products

by Consumer

Francesco Colorni and Massimo Temporelli were among the first to embrace the personal manufacturing vision and found a Fablab in Europe. Their early vision, together with third partner Bernardo Gamucci, evolved into TheFabLab – Make it Real and, recently, they opened a new The FabLab laboratory in Turin. From the very beginning they focused on presenting themselves as a serious partner for larger companies, both for prototyping and out-of-the-box thinking. This led to a successful partnership with Magneti Marelli among several other high profile projects.
