News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
When I visit 3D printing events in China what seems very clear to me is that Chinese adopters use 3D printing a lot. They generally don’t ask all the questions that Europeans and Americans ask and they don’t spent too much time thinking about the issues and the limitations of the technology: they just use it. Hangzhou based 3D printing service FF3DM used it to 3D print a fleet of huge model ships.
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Strangpresse LLC of Youngstown, Ohio, have signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement on a portfolio of ORNL patents related to large-scale additive manufacturing.
Rize Inc, maker of the only 3D printing platform capable of producing injection molded-quality manufacturing parts virtually anywhere, signed Cimquest Inc. as a Rize Authorized Reseller. For many years, Cimquest has been a leading provider of Mastercam in the mid-Atlantic and New England region and, up until recently, a Stratasys Platinum Partner covering the NY metro region. However, with this announcement, Cimquest has made the strategic business decision to add the Rize additive manufacturing product line to their portfolio of 3D printer solutions.

New technologies are the field where evolution and changes are the most noticeable. And such are the 3D systems of augmented reality – the devices are constantly upgraded to guarantee the highest image quality. The combination of virtual 3D reality and non-virtual reality is the result of collaboration of Sinterit and Professor Rigo Herold – a German researcher working on developing AR technology as well as on the design of data glasses. Glasses printed in SLS 3D technology allow for precise assembly of components and maximum comfort of using the equipment.
The Internet of Things, flexible electronics, mass customization, augmentation, bionics and prosthetics, shape memory and programmable materials, sports devices and the Apple Watch. All these trendy tag terms – so different from each other – are somehow described and defined by and contained within the general idea of wearables. But what exactly are wearable technologies – or “wearables” for short?
