News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Danit Peleg, a Fashion Designer based in Tel Aviv, Israel, just launched a customization and personalization platform on her website, enabling customers to personalize and order the world’s first 3D printed garment available on-demand to purchase online.
Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Columbia University are trying to make the CAD design process faster and easier: they’ve developed InstantCAD, a tool that lets designers interactively edit, improve, and optimize CAD models using a more streamlined and intuitive workflow.
The engineers at Disney Research developed a computational tool for designing compliant mechanisms that can be 3D produced by 3D printing. The method takes as input a conventional, rigidly-articulated mechanism defining the topology of the compliant design. This input can be both planar or spatial, and supports a number of common joint types which, whenever possible, are automatically replaced with parameterized flexures.

When disaster strikes, the countdown is on to get necessary supplies to those who need them most. But conditions often make it nearly impossible to deliver aid in a timely manner. That’s one reason drones are a boon for disaster response worldwide. Now, two young makers from Japan hope to advance relief efforts with their own generatively designed and 3D printed life-saving drone: X VEIN,
NASA has awarded a total of $201,023 to teams of citizen inventors that have reached the latest milestone of NASA’s 3D Printed Habitat Challenge, completing the Phase 2: Level 2 Beam Member competition. The teams are working to find ways to 3D print habitation structures using recyclables and simulated Martian soil, a technology goal that could support deep space exploration and advance construction capabilities on Earth.
The Cerco Espresso Cup is an eye-catching espresso cup adorned with a delicate, looping handle. Like all OTHR proudcts it is 3D printed without sacrificing style and material quality. It is crafted in 3D printed porcelain and, of course, it is a numbered edition.
