Neri Oxman and MIT show new approach to 3D printing buildings 3D Printing Processes

by Architecture

The list of materials that can be produced by 3D printing has grown to include not just plastics but also metal, glass, and even food. Now, MIT researchers are expanding the list further, with the design of a system that can 3D print the basic structure of an entire building. One interesting question that comes up is whether this system will be combined wiht Neri Oxman group’s glass 3D printing technology, thus enabling a truly integrated process for 3D printing buildings

Polish Design Graduates 3D Print Eco-Friendly Shoe 3D Printing Processes

by Consumer

For their graduation project at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland, design students Zuzanna Gronowicz and Barbara Motylinska, visualised their concept for a customisable 3D printed shoe. They’re made from eco-friendly materials and can be ordered using an app. The two young designers used a ZMorph 2.0 SX multitool 3D printer to create prototypes and plan the entire production pipeline.

Avi Reichental Joins Board of Directors at Nano Dimension AM Industry

by Business

Avi Reichental, a very well known executive figure in the 3D printing industry will be joining the Board of Directors at Nano Dimension, the NASDAQ listed current technological leader in 3D printed electronics. Reichental served as president, chief executive officer and director at 3D Systems for more than a decade. Under his leadership, 3D Systems emerged as a formidable global 3D-printing provider, growing revenue by more than six-fold and increasing market valuation by more than twelve-fold, before running into rough times – as most other publicly traded 3D printing companies – toward the end of his tenure.
