Textiles are among the most ancient human design pieces. In this short film, New York-based fashion collective threeASFOUR reimagines fabric manipulation and textile design using 3D printing to create dresses that transform based on the ergonomics and movement of the human body. This and other aspects of fashion in technology and design will be examined during FASHION AS DESIGN, a new online course that explores a selection of garments from around the world—ranging from Kente cloth to jeans to 3D printed dresses.
Organizing a show in the midst of political turmoil is challenging, doing it through one of the biggest political events to shake Southern Europe in recent years – the potential secession of the Catalunya region from Spain – could seem impossible and yet IN(3D)USTRY 2017 was highly successful with a good turnout in terms of attendance, showing how passionate people can be about the additive manufacturing industry and its potential benefits to the world.

TechCrunch was the first to reported that Amazon has acquired Body Labs, a company with a stated aim of creating true-to-life 3D body models to support various b2b software applications — such as virtually trying on clothes or photorealistic avatars for gaming. The acquisition has since been confirmed by Body Labs on the company’s website.
GE Healthcare has opened its first 3D printing lab, called the Innovative Design and Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center for Europe, in Uppsala, Sweden. The center will use technologies including 3D printing and robotics to speed up the launch of new innovative products for the healthcare industry.
Materialise has officially taken acquisition of ACTech, a Germany-based leader in producing limited runs of highly complex cast metal parts. The transaction brings together the metal competencies of Materialise, a leading provider of additive manufacturing solutions and software, with those of ACTech into a comprehensive metal manufacturing offering.
Precision ADM is the first Canadian metal Additive and Subtractive manufacturing services company to receive ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System certification. This industry standard represents the comprehensive set of requirements for the design and manufacture of medical devices.
TreeD Filaments, a leading filament producer based in Italy, launches HealthFil, a new range of medical grade filaments developed specifically to meet the growing needs of the affordable medical 3D printing segment. In many areas of orthopedics, additive manufacturing represents the newest technological frontier, opening up several new opportunities in terms of product capabilities and accessibility.
In the world of advanced manufacturing, the term MES to describe software based Manufacturing Execution Systems is already fairly common. However, it is only now beginning to be introduced to AM, leading us to coin a new “AMES” (Additive Manufacturing Execution Systems) acronym. This is occurring now because only recently did AM start to become a true batch and potentially even a mass manufacturing technology.
