The Cazza X1 is a 3D printing robot used to build houses, villas, shelters, warehouses, prefab modules, commercial buildings and free-standing structures up to 5m in height. Cazza robots can reduce the time and cost of building by traditional methods. In the case of constructing a 2000 square foot two story house, it would take 8 days and be up to 30% more cost effective in comparison to traditional build methods.

NASA tests first 3D printed rocket engine part made with two different metal alloys 3D Printing Processes

NASA tests conducted by engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, focused on NASA’s first 3D printed rocket engine prototype part made of two different metal alloys through an innovative advanced manufacturing process. NASA has been making and evaluating durable 3D printed rocket parts made of one metal, but the technique of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, with more than one metal, is significantly more difficult and has not yet been achieved with any commercially available technology.

Zare to mass produce luxury metal 3D printed MIO toothbrush Consumer Products

Many are familiar with Italian design brand names like Alessi, Pininfarina or Colani. We think of cars with elegant lines, fine furniture and iconic household objects. Now, Zare from Boretto, Italy, has ventured to design a new toothbrush in collaboration with Nussbaumer Design, headed by Christoph Nussbaumer. The result is very unusual – this toothbrush is made from metal. The metal 3D printed MIO toothbrush features a timeless design and is mass produced by means of additive manufacturing.

MX3D Is For Real, Its Generative Metal 3D Printed Bridge Is on Schedule Professional Additive Manufacturing

MX3D Is For Real, Its Generative Metal 3D Printed Bridge Is on Schedule Professional Additive Manufacturing

With close to a third of the bridge printed, Dutch design studios MX3D are well on track to be finished printing in early 2018 as programmed (see timeline below). By now, the company working on the bridge designed by Joris Laarman also mounted a robot directly on the bridge. Unlike so many high-profile 3D printing projects that clash with physical impossibilities, the first generatively designed, metal 3D printed bridge looks like it is going to become reality (and no, you cannot buy it).
