News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Danit Peleg, a Fashion Designer based in Tel Aviv, Israel, just launched a customization and personalization platform on her website, enabling customers to personalize and order the world’s first 3D printed garment available on-demand to purchase online.
Rocket Crafters (RCI) has been awarded a $542,600 research contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Under the terms of the agreement, RCI is tasked to build and test a large-scale hybrid rocket engine using RCI’s patented Direct-Digital Advanced Rocket Technology (D-DART). During the eight-month period of performance, RCI aims to design, […]
On 3DPMN we’ve expressed our doubts on the ONO (formerly OLO) 3D printer before as much as we’ve also highlighted the realistic aspects of this project (and even published a video of it running). However it seems that the hyped-up, Kickstarter-funded, smartphone 3D printer, which collected over $2.3 million during it’s crowd-funding run, is several months late (close to two years, according to some). Although delays may be understandable for any Kickstarter project, many of the backers are beginning to lose their patience.
The wait it over – 3D print with hemp filament! Entwined is 3D printing filament produced from USA-grown and processed industrial hemp. Industrial hemp crops require no herbicides, no pesticides and grow more densely compared to corn.
Working with established companies and organization as well as startups, Paul Sohi has acquired a unique experience in the field of wearable technologies. As a Fusion 360 evangelist, a lot of his work goes into designing products that leverage the latest technological trends as well as making sure that concepts can become real products and their business be scaled up.
Simple, affordable, 3D Printing is now available to anyone thanks to SparkMaker. The company has announced the release of their one-button desktop 3D Printer that brings the quality of SLA printing to the masses with a $99 starting price on the upcoming Kickstarter run. Now anyone, with a computer and a spark of creativity can unlock the magic of 3D printing.
Jurjen is a promising robotic engineer and studying to create robots for the future. At Decos, they have already shown their prodigious knowledge in robotics with Pepper and Jurjen has shown his potential creating a robot by himself, The Butler of the Future.
Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Columbia University are trying to make the CAD design process faster and easier: they’ve developed InstantCAD, a tool that lets designers interactively edit, improve, and optimize CAD models using a more streamlined and intuitive workflow.
The engineers at Disney Research developed a computational tool for designing compliant mechanisms that can be 3D produced by 3D printing. The method takes as input a conventional, rigidly-articulated mechanism defining the topology of the compliant design. This input can be both planar or spatial, and supports a number of common joint types which, whenever possible, are automatically replaced with parameterized flexures.
As Simplify3D enters its fifth year the company is launching a major update of its CAM software, very popular among the newest generation of professional desktop 3D printing adopters. Presented as one of Simplify 3D’s largest releases yet, Simplify3D 4.0 implements many of the most popular feature requested by the community. New features in the software will provide even more control over the printing process and help unlock new capabilities from your 3D printer.
