The 3D Printing Business Directory was created in order to give companies a map and their own window on the global 3D printing marketplace. At the same time we are happy to collaborate with other companies who specifically focus on areas that are entirely compatible and complementary with our own, for example Aniwaa.com for a directory of 3D printers and 3D scanners.
Under the Leadership of Professor Ferdinando Auricchio of the Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials Group, 3D printing is now playing a major role in the activities that the University of Pavia, one of the oldest and most important in Italy, considers strategic for its students curricula. The new 3D printing center is going gorw in the present and in the medium to long term future, with a particular focus on medical modeling.

Not everyone is Hans Fouche, and not everyone has a Cheetah one cubic meter 3D printer in their garage. However more and more people do so, soon, many will be able to 3D print real size objects on demand. Of course it will still take a good amount of creativity to know what to use it for, for example a custom chair 3D printed in the shape of a Marmite bottle. That what Hans Fouche 3D Printing just did.
The 3D printed shoe race is heating up as high-tech sports apparel brand Under Armor releases ArchiTech commercially available, limited edition UA 3D printed shoes which were generatively designed using Autodesk’s Within software.
