3D Printed Smartphone Accessory Prototypes Earn Award to Buzz Technologies 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

British Inventors Project finalist Buzz Technology are showcasing their vision for two modular concepts which could find their way into future smartphones. Both 3D printed smartphone accessory prototype solutions were showcased at the Gadget Show LIVE! in Birmingham, UK. DRONE-IN-A-PHONE is a tethered microdrone that folds up and fits into a camera case. By placing the battery into the smartphone case, and using a folding mechanism, Buzz Technology’s Senake Atureliya and his team have managed to reduce the size and weight of the drone, thus making it pocket-size. Flight times are significantly increased and the mini drone is able to withstand strong winds.

AM Industry Surpassed $5.1 Billion According to 2016 Wohlers Report. Is It Enough? AM Software

by Technologies

The 27th yearly report form Wholers Associates is out and, as it has done for most of the previous editions, tells us of a rapidly growing AM industry. While the growth rate has slowed in the past year, mostly due to a “rebound” after hitting the peak of the hype cycle for many sectors of 3D printing, the industry has been growing at CAGR of 26.2% for almost there decades.

The Next Generation of 3D Printing Starts with the New 6+1 Material Stratasys J750 3D Printer 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

This is going to be a year of transition for 3D printing, a year that will see many big names try to make their mark, including HP. These giants, however, will have to compete with current industry leader Stratasys, which is going to put up a fight to lead the next generation of 3D printing, judging by the latest launch of the J750 6+1 materials, full color, polyjet 3D printing system.

3D Printed Art Is Coming of Age as MakersForArt 3D Print Caravaggio’s “Flagellation of Christ” AM Software

by Design

It is not our intention to compare ourselves to Caravaggio. It would only be presumptuous, to say the least. However, we would like to explain the tremendous and demanding work of modelling (and not just that!) that was carried out to replicate the Flagellation of Christ in 3D and how this goes a long way to demonstrate that 3D printed art is coming of age.

Multidirectional 3D Printing (MAP Technology) Introduced by Do3D 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Do3D Innovations, manufacturers of the Genesis (G1) DLP 3D printer, are introducing the revolutionary MAP™ (Multidirectional Additive Production) technology in their Squarewave prototype DLP-SLA 3D printer. This revolutionary, patent pending approach can improve 3D printing speeds by up to 200% or more by enabling the process to take place on both sides of the build plate at the same time. Multidirectional 3D printing is compatible with powder, liquid resin and even thermopolymer filament based processes.
