News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
As Esports continue to grow, custom gaming components and accessories are becoming a major business opportunity for 3D printing service providers. Canadian start-up Formify has developed a personalized gaming mouse designed to enhance gaming performance. The company used MJF 3D printing technology and teamed up with 3D printing experts at Hubs (part of global AM service provider Proto Labs) to bring this idea to life.
Technology has progressed at amazing rates. Think about it: just four decades ago, Sony released the first walkman. Today, you’d be hard pressed to find one in a store and most youngsters wouldn’t even recognize a cassette. For those for whom nostalgia bites hard, a creative design agency has created an homage to the now obsolete Walkman, ironically using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology to do so.
Weta Workshop, the renowned design studio that has been behind some of the best film special effects in the past two decades, has acquired a Massivit 1800 3D printer at its facility in Wellington, New Zealand.
