Hawk 3D Proto ceases operations, CEO moves on to new opportunities AM Industry

by Business

Hawk 3D Proto, a young though quite popular 3D product resellers in the UK, has closed its doors. We did not see that coming, as the company seemed to be one of the most active in the UK scene. Although we often met and spoke with Ben at shows, and very much appreciated his approach to the market, we regret that we never had the opportunity to actively collaborate with Hawk 3D and help the company further promote its brand and products.

MX3D 3D printed steel bridge completed on schedule, to be installed in 2019 | video Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Unlike other extra large 3D printed projects that seemed too good to be true, Joris Laarman’s 3D printed steel bridge has been completed, perfectly in line with MX3D’s project timeline. The only thing that was somewhat a letdown, was the idea that the bridge would “build itself on location” as some early animations seem to allude to. However, this is just the beginning. Laarman and the team that worked with him fine-tuned the metal deposition technology to be able to cater to the large size additive production needs of a growing range of industries.

Funny BMW Motorrad teases remote spare parts 3D printing on April 1st 3D Printing Processes

by Automotive

The news is funny and borderline realistic – probably funnier and less realistic than our own April fool’s post – and it’s pretty cool: the good ol’ guys at BMW Motorrad’s PR team announced that the company will be offering BMW Motorrad iParts as an optional equipment item from this summer. This is a 3D printing system which will allow BMW Motorrad dealers and customers to print out spare parts as required on site so as to be able to continue their journey as quickly as possible.
