News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
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.

Stanley Black & Decker, one of the world’s most recognizable names in jobsite tools, has partnered with Sindoh to launch the new STANLEY Model 1 3D Printer. This new licensed agreement is also STANLEY’s first 3D printer, which has been designed to deliver a convenient desktop experience to beginners and experienced users who are interested in prototyping designs, developing concepts, and bringing ideas in a 3D form to life.
There are many software packages that are used to create digital models. One such package that is popular for industrial, product, and graphic design and architecture is Rhinoceros 3D, or “Rhino.” Grasshopper is a visual scripting platform for Rhino. With it, the user can build precise, customizable Rhino objects by simply dragging boxes around the screen and connecting them with virtual “wires.” No knowledge of programming is necessary!
