Kwambio CEO Vlad Usov shares the latest about Ceramo One and its ceramic AM factory Additive Manufacturing

by Technologies

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.

Turn a 3D printer into a powerful laser cutter with Endurance 10 watt+ lasers 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

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.

Hidden QR code clouds can ensure authenticity of 3D printed parts Research & Education

by Aerospace

Researchers from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering have developed a method for proving where 3D printed parts come from and ensuring their design integrity by embedding QR code clouds into the 3D model in a new and clever way. That is, rather than simply sticking a QR bar code onto the 3D model’s surface, the research team has devised a way to convert QR codes into subtle 3D features which can be integrated into a given part without affecting its properties and, crucially, without being noticeable to counterfeiters.
