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.

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.
With the inauguration of Moon Jaein, the new president in South Korea, the government’s emphasis on the fourth industrial revolution, which includes 3D printers and its derivatives, is still going strong. In Korea, starting around 2011, the number of 3D printing companies have risen and fallen, but there is one 3D printer company that has been growing constantly. That is HyVISION SYSTEM, which presumably moves the most of such products in Korea.
