Senvol, a New York-based company dedicated to assisting in the adoption of AM technologies, has been awarded a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The grant will support its “Continuous Learning for Additive Manufacturing Processes Through Advanced Data Analytics” project.
First it was the $14,000 Gold Spica Virginis, the 3D printed pen created by designer Rein van der Mast to resemble an ear of grain and named after the brightest star in the constellation Virgo. As with any new technology, 3D printed pens, even collectible designer ones, are now becoming more accessible. That’s the case with van der Mast’s latest TypeONE 3D printed pen design.
For anyone (such as myself) who has suffered a painful foot cramp from walking on sand, a new Adidas concept shoe might be a bit puzzling, but for those looking for some extra resistance while training, the shoes will be a breakthrough.
AVINENT Digital Health has recently acquired the Stratasys J750 3D printer, a powerful device in the field of 3D printing that stands out from the crowd in terms of its technology for its ability to reproduce the most realistic models.
Canadian 3D printer manufacturer Mosaic Manufacturing has launched its latest product: the Palette 2 3D printer accessory. Alongside its CANVAS Software Platform and CANVAS Hub, Mosaic’s new product creates a user-friendly and accessible multi-material 3D printing ecosystem which can give nearly any FDM printer multi-material capabilities.

Industrial 3D printer manufacturer Voxeljet has offered a glimpse at its newest development, the VJET X-IOB additive manufacturing system. The innovative product, says the company, is the world’s first fully automated 3D production solution and can offer manufacturers an alternative to traditional serial production processes.
In Tennessee, oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Brooks, and his team of residents are using EnvisionTEC’s 3D printing solutions to create better treatment plans, implants and other life-changing devices for patients with birth defects, or recovering from disease or trauma.
Composite 3D printing, and especially carbon fiber 3D printing, is quickly advancing and gaining more applications within the industry. Presently, the number of companies working on composite 3D printing technologies is relatively small—we recently highlighted many of them—though they are all playing their part in pushing forward innovation. One of the bunch, 3D printing leader Stratasys, has honed in on its composite AM technology, especially of late.
