News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The high number of failed attempts has shown beyond reasonable doubt that you might be able to print chocolate in 2D (or even in bas-relief) but you cannot create real 3D printed chocolate structures. And even if you were able to do it to a degree, you cannot do it in high res and you definitely cannot do it without ruining the taste and consistency properties of chocolate.
Cost efficient 3D printer manufacturer Afinia 3D reported on the story of professional monster truck driver Rosalee Ramer and how 3D printers made it possible for her to pursue her dream. She started driving monster trucks professionally at age 14. Now, at age 19, she is pursuing her Mechanical Engineering degree at Georgia Tech, and hopes to use it to improve her monster truck’s capabilities. Rosalee Ramer is a lot of things: a daughter, friend, college student, and role model, who holds the title as the youngest professional female monster truck driver in the world.
Through adidas’s obsession with helping athletes make a difference, today, the brand unveils Futurecraft 4D, the world’s first high-performance footwear featuring midsoles crafted with light and oxygen using Digital Light Synthesis, a technology pioneered by Carbon.

PassivDom, a USA based startup founded by Ukranian Max Gerbut, introduced its autonomous self-learning 3D printed mobile house at the recent StartupGrind Conference in Silicon Valley. It was the first presentation of this project on a global stage. The PassivDom off-grid 3D-printed gadget house is a sustainable self-learning, Zero Carbon Emission house powered solely by solar energy. The frame is produced using an industrial 3D printer robot.
After signing a strategic collaboration with leading 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys, at the beginning of the season, McLaren Racing is now expanding its use of 3D printing (both polyjet and FDM) to produce components for its 2017 Formula 1 MCL32 race car. The goal is accelerating design modifications and reducing weight to increase performance.
Electronics 3D printer manufacturer Nano Dimension is now working together with the expert PCB designers at Zuken to advance the 3D printing user experience and prototype turnaround times. Nano Dimension will take advantage of the support for implementing electronic technologies provided by Zuken’s market-leading, native 3D, system-level design solution, CR-8000 Design Force, to further evolve its Dragonfly PCB 3D printer.
After a few months of incubation, Janne Kyttanen and wife Laura officially launched their Pixsweet startup at Dodger’s Stadium season opening, in front of over 45,000 people. While still in beta, the custom 3D printed ice pop online platform seems headed off to a good start.
