Kwambio, a New York-based company that began as an online marketplace for 3D printed design objects, has over the years transformed into one of the more compelling players in the still niche ceramics 3D printing industry. Somewhat out of necessity—as Kwambio realized that in order to offer 3D printed ceramics at an affordable cost it could not outsource production—the company developed its very own ceramic AM system, the Ceramo One.
Almost every 3D printer can be used as a laser cutter, as powerful as a CO2 engraving machine and as efficient as a fiber laser device. All that is possible today thanks to powerful diode lasers that first appeared on the market a few years back. Today, there are many powerful 405 / 445 / 808 nm laser diodes which enable laser cutting and laser engraving on almost any material, including wood, plywood, leather, plastic, anodized aluminum and even stainless steel. In addition, these laser diodes are tiny and thus make relatively small lasers that weight less than ½ pound.
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.
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.
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.
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. The new product range is available for pre-order on Mosaic’s website for $499.
