IP, Make It Leo Makes 3D Printable Designs into Limited Editions AM Software

by Consumer

MakeItLeo is a new cloud service that allows people to upload their 3D models, share them, sell them, and control their distribution in a global market. In a world where the most advanced designs are created digitally, the paradox is that the most unique IP (intellectual property) could be reproduced an infinite number of times. Several solutions are in development in order to retain a certain amount of control over the number of 3D prints per design, with Make It Leo being the one that focuses most on the file itself as well as the designers’ needs.

Metal 3D Printing is Big and Getting Bigger, Here’s Why in 5 Points 3D Printing Processes

by Business

People ask if and when 3D printing will become a method of mass production. As far as plastics go, I don’t know. For metals, though, it is a whole different story: it is already happening. Metal 3D printing technologies are evolving at breakneck speed, constantly increasing their size and velocity capabilities. One of the reasons for this, in my opinion, is the intense competition, both between different technologies and different approaches to the same technology. This is not, however, the only reason.

3D Voice Print of Neil GERSHENFELD “What is a FabLab?” Created by Gilles Azzaro AM Software

by Technologies

The Toulouse FabLab ARTILECT continues to expand and a new component – ARTILECT LAB – was recently created to meet new professional requirements by accompanying the emergence of innovative technological projects. For the occasion, I was asked to create a 3D Voice Print work that would be revealed to the public during the inauguration ceremony of the new “Salle des Machines” area.

You Know the Companies, Need a Directory of 3D Printers? Go to Aniwaa.com 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

The 3D Printing Business Directory was created in order to give companies a map and their own window on the global 3D printing marketplace. At the same time we are happy to collaborate with other companies who specifically focus on areas that are entirely compatible and complementary with our own, for example Aniwaa.com for a directory of 3D printers and 3D scanners.

Medical Modeling, University of Pavia Makes 3D Printing an “Area of Strategic Interest” AM Software

by Technologies

Under the Leadership of Professor Ferdinando Auricchio of the Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials Group, 3D printing is now playing a major role in the activities that the University of Pavia, one of the oldest and most important in Italy, considers strategic for its students curricula. The new 3D printing center is going gorw in the present and in the medium to long term future, with a particular focus on medical modeling.
