A Massivit 3D Acceleration to Adopting 3D Printing in Construction

The introduction of 3D printing – in any form – into the construction industry is among the most fascinating and, at the same time, challenging endeavor. On the one hand, the most advanced and technologically complex, digital manufacturing processes; on the other an industry that has notoriously been slow to introduce change. For these reasons, many see construction as the area with the highest potential for 3D printing innovation. And business. The shift is going to be gradual and any potential adopter will benefit from introducing 3D printing technologies that can significantly enhance traditional construction practices. Massivit 3D’s large-volume 3D printing technology for construction is doing just that. By providing cost-effective 3D printed tools to leverage the geometric benefits of AM, without foregoing the use of traditional materials, Massivit 3D is enabling innovative constructions and restorations. These projects – from statues to capitols and decorations of historical Italian palaces – would not have been cost-effective by either traditional construction methods or direct concrete 3D printing.

Sturdy Cycles Works with RAM3D on Custom Titanium Bicycles

Bicycles were one of the first consumer products to embrace 3D printing, with dozens of examples of both concept models, one-offs and actual production already underway. One reason is that personalization and weight-optimization play a big role in bicycling; another (related) is that two key materials for bicycles are carbon fiber composites and titanium, which are also key materials in 3D printing. For Tom Sturdy of Sturdy Cycles in Somerset, UK, titanium is it and he turned to AM service RAM3D to 3D print it.

Impact F1, What Next-gen, Parametric, 3D Printed Flip Flops Look Like

The ability to leverage parametric online customization tools to create and personalize entire products is embedded in the potential of 3D printing as a production technology. Until now this potential has been only marginally exploited but the possibilities are rapidly increasing: more optimized products, more customized, more innovative, more sustainable: in the footwear segment, Impact Footwear is introducing all these features truly next-gen 3D printed flip flops: the Impact F1.

HP to produce 3D printed putter in partnership with Cobra Golf Consumer Products

HP to produce 3D printed putter in partnership with Cobra Golf Consumer Products

HP’s additive manufacturing division and Cobra Golf have partnered to create the KING Supersport-35 putter. This putter, two years in the making, was a collaborative effort to produce a 3D printed golf club with exceptional balance and ideal blade shape. The club sports a metal lattice structure to optimize weight distribution along the body and the blade is designed to deliver the highest-possible MOI. The KING Supersport-35 also features a face insert designed in partnership with SIK Golf, which uses SIK’s patented Descending Loft Technology (DLT) to create the most consistent and accurate roll on every putt.

A step towards production of truly UNIQ-Ǝ! 3D printed faucets Additive Manufacturing

Ever since metal 3D printing became sufficiently cost-effective to be used for certain luxury goods, designer faucets have attracted the interest of designers and metal 3D printer service providers. A few attempts have been made at commercialization but mostly they have remained an exercise in style. This is where the new UNIQ-Ǝ! steps in, combining nearly thirty years of experience in the sanitary fittings industry with the new design possibilities offered by metal additive manufacturing.

DECATHLON ADD LAB adds more 3D printing capabilities with HP Consumer Products

HP strengthened its partnership with DECATHLON ADD LAB (ADDitive Manufacturing LABoratory), the brand’s research center fully dedicated to 3D printing solutions, located at the BTWIN VILLAGE in Lille (France). The laboratory is now equipped with two HP JetFusion 5200 3D printers (Production range), four processing stations and six manufacturing units making it possible to print on different materials: PA12, TPU and PP. Thanks to HP’s 3D technology, DECATHLON can now provide its partners with 3D printed spare parts of its products for repairs.
