Lithoz, the Austrian leader in 3D printed ceramics, is not a company known for its aggressive marketing and communication efforts. Its high-level LCM ceramics photopolymerization AM technology is making huge steps forward, however, we don’t often hear about it. That’s, well, because the company does not tell many people about its progress. Even after Lithoz launched the disruptive, production-ready Cerafab S65, we only learned about its progress in the market when a small Australian company – 3rdAxis – purchased one.

Ever since users and groups of people began using 3D printing to make prosthetics more affordable we’ve been waiting for a time when these easily iterable devices would evolve from prosthetic limbs into bionic limbs. The startup Open Bionics was likely founded upon this objective and over time it has come closer to achieving it. With the release of the official Metal Gear Solid prosthetic/bionic version of its Hero Arm, it’s definitely getting closer.

HP’s additive manufacturing division and Cobra Golf have partnered to create the KING Supersport-35 putter. This putter, two years in the making, was a collaborative effort to produce a 3D printed golf club with exceptional balance and ideal blade shape. The club sports a metal lattice structure to optimize weight distribution along the body and the blade is designed to deliver the highest-possible MOI. The KING Supersport-35 also features a face insert designed in partnership with SIK Golf, which uses SIK’s patented Descending Loft Technology (DLT) to create the most consistent and accurate roll on every putt.
