New Superstuff brand takes 3D printed design-technology products to the mass market Consumer Products

Francesco Colorni and Massimo Temporelli were among the first to embrace the personal manufacturing vision and found a Fablab in Europe. Their early vision, together with third partner Bernardo Gamucci, evolved into TheFabLab – Make it Real and, recently, they opened a new The FabLab laboratory in Turin. From the very beginning they focused on presenting themselves as a serious partner for larger companies, both for prototyping and out-of-the-box thinking. This led to a successful partnership with Magneti Marelli among several other high profile projects.

3MF Consortium releases first standardized 3D Beam Lattice Extension 3D Visualization

The 3MF Consortium (3MF) ratified and released its Beam Lattice Specification Extension to its 3MF Core Specification today. The 3MF Beam Lattice extension is a new method for storing and transferring lattice-type geometry information. By providing support for beam lattices, 3MF solves a significant interoperability issue for the additive manufacturing industry and provides an elegant solution to a problem that is not easily addressed in other file formats. The benefits of using 3MF’s Beam Lattice Extension in additive manufacturing are significant and broad and include improved design flexibility, lower material costs and reduced production time.

Airbus Using Materialise to Bring 3D Printing to the Skies Additive Manufacturing

When it comes to retrofitting for aircraft, time is of the essence. During cabin retrofits, the integration of newly designed elements might create a need for adapting or redesigning some panels or spacers, which are typically required in low volumes and short timeframes. With tight retrofit timescales to meet, Airbus was looking for a quick and smart solution to produce these spacer panels, and they found it in Materialise’s Certified Additive Manufacturing.
