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.
For the millions of people every year who have or need medical devices implanted, a new advancement in silicone 3D printing technology developed at the University of Florida promises significantly quicker implantation of devices that are stronger, less expensive, more flexible and more comfortable than anything currently available.
V-MODA, an Italian design music accessories brand, now officially released REMIX, the World’s first 3D printed custom speaker. The stylish speaker system implements REMIXRings and removable parts to enable the ultimate personalization in a wide array of materials. The speaker has been announced in March, and, unlike several other announced 3D printed products, it has now effectively hit the market.
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.
NVIDIA GVDB Voxels is ideally suited for 3D Printing design, prototyping and embedded applications where both performance and memory footprint are critical. Voxels enable a next-generation approach to the 3D Printing workflow as they represent complex, connected microstructures and heterogeneous materials more easily than polygons. Supporting very high-resolution volumes with massive parallelism on GPUs, the sparse data structure of NVIDIA GVDB Voxels allows for geometric operations, simulation and rendering of complex models with fine detail. GVDB Voxels is ideally suited as core representation for 3D Printing Design applications, Generative Design, Process Engineering, Materials Simulation or print PreVisualization.
EnvisionTEC, a leading global manufacturer of desktop and full-production 3D printers and materials, announced a cost-saving, disposable material tray for its premium desktop 3D printers at JCK Las Vegas, the jewelry industry’s premier trade show.
United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), the global innovation arm of United Technologies Corp, today unveiled its new and expanded $60 million state-of-the-art “innovation hub” on its East Hartford campus.
