Delphi Automotive 3D printing final parts with Carbon M1 3D Printer Hardware

Jerry, Delphi’s manager of additive manufacturing development, was first introduced to Carbon in April, 2015. A 31-year veteran at Delphi, Jerry has been working with additive manufacturing technologies for more than 20 years. His team’s day to day operations focus on prototyping a host of parts including electrical connectors, grommets and housings. Working with the M1 has allowed them, for the first time, to develop functional prototypes, run true part validation testing and explore new opportunities for the production of final, end-use parts.

From Prototyping to Production: Is 3D Printing Technology Finally Prepared to Make the Shift? AM Industry

As we noted with a press release earlier this week, Airbus Group’s 3D printing subsidiary company APWorks has released the world’s first-ever fully 3D printed motorcycle, the “Light Rider”. The electrically-powered machine was 3D printed in Scalmalloy material, an aluminium-magnesium-scandium alloy engineered by Airbus, which produced a motorcycle that is 30% lighter than most conventionally manufactured e-motorcycles. It looks exhilaratingly modern, and sounds like it would be a tremendously fun motorcycle to ride around on. But, the implications that APWorks latest creation may have on 3D printing as a whole could be much more than just an additively manufactured joyride.

Controversial Japanese Artist Rokudenashiko Shows-and-Tells at Discussion Hosted by the Lady Tech Guild 3D Printing Events

Last week, a very enthralling discussion was being held at the Eyebeam Center for Art & Technology, which is located in the neighborhood of Sunset Park in Brooklyn, NY. Running alongside the two week exhibition called To Scale, which is showcasing 10 art projects centered around the concept of scaling, was a discussion hosted by the Lady Tech Guild, a creative collective of professional and tech-savvy women who work as 3D artists, designers, biohackers, educators, and entrepreneurs within the 3D world.
