News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Remember the Barilla 3D printer? What remains of that is the memory of a great experiment and an even greater marketing stunt. Now BluRhapsody, a spin-off project born from Barilla’s R&D research, aims to create a service for chefs and events selling customized pasta3D. Based in Parma, it is the first startup from Blu1877. The Blue Rhapsody website should be online by the end of November/early December.

3D Platform marked a major milestone earlier this month when the company shipped its 500th large format 3D printer — in just three years.
Aleph Objects have released information about 10 new products for near term release. The products include Free Software, tool heads, printer accessories, and filaments that expand and improve functionality and user experience with LulzBot products. The string of new products demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to 3D printing innovation and collaboration.
In an interesting case study, Formlabs reported on how Aaron Sims, founder and president of Aaron Sims Creative (ASC), an up-and-coming visual effects (VFX) and design studio in Burbank (alongside large, established companies like Weta and ILM) use a Form2 3D printer to bring to life the monster in season one of hit TV series Stranger Things. Apparently he is not the only one 3D printing a demogorgon.. or a demodog.
Small satellites provide a responsive alternative to larger, more expensive satellites. As demand grows, engineers must adapt these “nanosatellites” or CubeSats to provide new achievements and goals. One of these achievements is deploying a TubeSat from the International Space Station (ISS). TubeSats are cylindrical and are not compatible with normal CubeSats deployer platform (P-POD) on the ISS. Thus, an innovative nano-satellite, TuPOD (Tubesat-POD), was developed to address the challenge.
TRUMPF presented what it considers the world’s fastest and most productive medium-format laser powder bed fusion 3D printing system at the formnext trade fair in Frankfurt. The TruPrint 5000 works according to a multi-laser principle with three beam sources and is equipped with optics specially designed by TRUMPF.
