Apis Cor 3D prints first on-site house in Russia in one day for $10,134 3D Printing Processes

by Architecture

The first house in Russia built using 3D printing technology has been completed in Stupino, in the Moscow region of Russia. Russian house 3D printing pioneers Apis Cor in cooperation with PIK proceeded to print the building using a mobile 3D printer. Construction took place at the Apis Cor company’s test facility in the town of Stupino. Printing of self-bearing walls, partitions and building envelope were done in less than a day: pure machine time of printing amounted to 24 hours.

Anatomik Modeling 3D Prints World’s First Custom-Made Airway Stent 3D Printing Processes

by Medical

Researchers in Toulouse have successfully developed and implanted several customized, 3D printed stents that are anatomically identical to patients’ trachea and/or bronchi, offering hope to patients for whom standard prostheses are not a viable solution. This has been achieved through a collaboration between the Pulmonology Department at Toulouse University Hospital and Toulouse-based start-up company, AnatomikModeling.

These are the top companies offering composite filament for 3D printing graphene 3D Printing Processes

by Business

Graphene is the material of the future. It has been the material of the future and – at the rate things are going – it might always be the material of the future. Some 3D printing material manufacturers, however, are really trying to make it the materials of the present by offering a range of thermal extrusion filaments (and maybe soon even some laser sintering powders) for 3D printing graphene, which use graphene as a reinforcement in a thermopolymer matrix. Lets see which they are and what they can offer today (and what they will offer tomorrow).
