As originally reported by the West Australian online, the Perth season of Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza production features costumes made using a 3D printer. This marks the very first time the Cirque has used the technology in its wardrobe department but results have been so encouraging that all 20 Cirque du Soleil shows may soon consider implementing one or more.

Computer graphics hardware and software giant NVIDIA revealed its intention to begin targeting real GVDB voxel-level 3D printing through both dedicated software and hardware. This strategy is meant to target the current limitations in 3D printing objects that are made of several different materials and parts. Identified challenges in 3D printing include multiple colors, differing densities and the use of a mix of materials.
Nano Dimension Ltd., a leader in the field of 3D printed electronics developed novel copper nanoparticles that are resistant to oxidation and fuse into a conductive line after sintering process at temperatures lower than 160 degrees Celsius.
Disney has filed a patent for a “3D printing method for printing three dimensional (3D) objects that are difficult to copy by use of a 3D scanner and 3D printer”. While the idea is not overly complex – it is mostly a matter of using materials which are difficult to be picked up by the 3D scanner’s cameras – it shows how far 3D printing has come in terms of a potential production method for consumer products – with all the issues, such as copyright, IP and 3D scanning protection, that follow.
The new TU Darmstadt racecar for the current Formula Student competition contains no fewer than five ultralight 3D printed components from Heraeus. A steering shaft made from a special aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg) is nearly 50% lighter than the model that preceded it. The new steering shaft, designed and printed by Heraeus precisely to the specifications of the TU Darmstadt racing team, now weighs barely 300 grams while maintaining the same mechanical strength and stability.
Mazak Canada is now the latest addition to the Canada Makes network of company active in additive manufacturing as a leadership level partner. Mazak has been contributing to the development of the machine tool industry as a leading global company since 1919 and adding their expertise is a big plus to our network.
