Create it REAL Introduces New Solutions to the 3D Printing Copyright Issue 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Even though the 3D printing market is booming, many companies or designers creating 3D models are reluctant to share or sell them online because of intellectual property issues. Same as for the music industry back in the 90’s when the mp3 became popular, 3D files could be copied, altered and shared for free on internet. New business models emerged, like with Spotify, and helped the industry to move forward. Create it REAL, the Danish R&D center specialised in 3D printing technologies, has developed a solution that will allow designers to create their new business models.

NVIDIA partners with HP Labs to introduce GVDB voxel level 3D printing 3D Printing Processes

by Design

Computer graphics hardware and software giant NVIDIA revealed its intention to begin targeting real GVDB voxel-level 3D printing through both dedicated software and hardware. This strategy is meant to target the current limitations in 3D printing objects that are made of several different materials and parts. Identified challenges in 3D printing include multiple colors, differing densities and the use of a mix of materials.
