Sintratec Launches Shoe Design Contest

Sintratec Launches Shoe Design Contest

by Consumer

Swiss company Sintratec has developed particular know-how on SLS 3D printing for footwear applications. 3D printing has become a great way to bring some of the most fascinating shoe designs to life – in ways that would not be possible with conventional methods. Dozens of show designers are now turning to 3D printing to bring their creations to life, especially in light of the fact that 3D printing can be used in the footwear production workflow and even for final footwear parts such as midsoles, insoles and uppers. If you have a unique idea for footwear but no access to industrial 3D printers, the Sintratec Shoe Design Contest may be the ideal opportunity for you.

New TI DLP Pico Chipset Makes DLP 3D Printing More Affordable

New TI DLP Pico Chipset Makes DLP 3D Printing More Affordable

by Technologies

This story, which passed under most radars last year, could have some very important implications in dramatically broadening access to advanced DLP 3D printing technology to small business owners, hobbyists and consumers. Texas Instruments, the original inventors of digital light projection technology, introduced the new, TI DLP Pico chipsets to fit into smaller applications so that engineers can develop small, high-quality 3D printers that are more accessible and affordable.

Voestalpine Starts Operating Giant Sand 3D Printer for Steel Casting

Voestalpine Starts Operating Giant Sand 3D Printer for Steel Casting

by Technologies

Austrian company voestalpine has been engaged in 3D printing with metals for many years, mainly as a provider of metal 3D printing services and metal powder materials for PBF and DED technologies. These metals are already being used at its own 3D printing and research centers around the world. Now the steel and technology Group has started operating a giant sand 3D printer for heavy steel castings at its site in Traisen, Lower Austria. However, a unique and interesting aspect is that the machine is not from European and US leaders such as voxeljet and ExOne but from Chinese company Kocel Machinery.

The YOYO 3D Printed EV by XEV is Already Zooming Around

by Automotive

Remember the LSEV? The largely 3D printed EV from a mysterious company called XEV? We first reported on this project back in 2018, when some overly hyped-up stories announced the car was ready for mass production. Back then we were at least able to confirm the project was real and real it is. It took a bit longer than the original 2019 timeline for launch, but the car is here, it’s real and it’s already zooming around. In fact, the official launch of the YOYO (the new name of the LSEV) took place in May 2021. XEV’s first fully electric city car can be driven from the age of 16 with a B1 licence.
