Fast Robotic Bricklayer Hadrian X 3D Prints Houses Faster by “Brickjetting” 3D Printing Processes

by Architecture

Is bricklaying a form of additive manufacturing? Not really, however if we introduce a digital and robotic element to it, it may just be considered a type of 3D printing. That’s what Australian company Fast Robotics refers to when defining its impressive Hadrian X robotic bricklaying technology. Looking at the video (below) that shows how the system works, we tend to agree.

Concept Laser Makes a Case for Titanium (Vs PEEK) in 3D Printed Bone Implants Editorials

by Medical

The name Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik has been synonymous since 1979 with implants in craniomaxillofacial surgery. Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik is a company that belongs to the KLS Martin Group. Resorbable implants were added in 2000. The most recent development are patient-specific individual implants for correction through distraction and osteosynthesis in the event of traumas or deformities. Initially manufactured by conventional means, since 2013 these implants have also been manufactured additively. This is based on the LaserCUSING process from Concept Laser, whose M2 cusing machine is used at Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik. Behind this lies a simple basic approach which has the ability to transform surgery: for the individual patient rather than a standard solution. To manufacture patient-specific implants, Frank Reinauer, Head of Innovation and Production of Biomaterials at Karl Leibinger Medizintechnik, now consistently relies on additively manufactured implants.

Real Kickstarters: Wiiv Steps Up with Mass Customized, 3D Printed Sandals Consumer Products

by Consumer

The sandals that the 3D printed footwear pioneers at Wiiv just launched on Kickstarter aren’t just an innovation in footwear. It’s a revolution in an industry plagued by mass-produced products, rigid offshore supply chains, and the inability to capitalize on the full potential of 3D printing. Instead, Wiiv is presenting one-off custom products at scale and manufactured locally.
