News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
Last week, I wrote about how 3D printing in cosmetics is happening mainly at the industry level via packaging solutions and bioprinted skin. Mixed and augmented reality, on the other hand, (3D printing’s sister tech) is being used by major brands to directly engage consumers, and could soon change how we shop.
Product placement is the ultimate frontier of marketing and arguably one of the most effective. We’ve seen 3D printers in several Hollywood productions already however most of the times it was in scenes that specifically focused on 3D printing and sometimes on 3D printer brand building. Other times (like in Grey’s Anatomy or in the recent Westworld) we’ve seen non-specific bioprinters working to produce organs and even entire humans.
The blending of the physical and digital worlds has arrived, with 3D scanning, virtual reality, and additive manufacturing forming a complete 3D ecosystem. However, while 3D scanning and printing allow us to create and manipulate objects, emerging technologies are pointing to 360° virtual and augmented reality (AR/VR) as entirely new ways to record, experience and share life itself – from extreme sports to family vacations and distant environments.
Professionals and students are invited by Additive Industries to (re)design products dedicated for metal 3D printing
All3DP is one of the fastest growing startups in the 3D printing industry. Also, they’re one of the leading editorial sites for the topic of 3D printing. All3DP GmbH has just finished the next funding round. Now they’re looking for a technology journalist to helps with the editorial team in Munich, Germany.
Duke students, faculty and staff can now learn how to use free 3D printers at the university by taking a short online course, 3D Printing at Duke. They can take the free course at any time, and then use the printers to create three-dimensional objects from digital files.
L’Oréal has been committed to tissue engineering for almost 30 years and holds unique knowledge and expertise in the field of hair biology. With this exclusive research partnership, L’Oréal and Poietis are giving themselves the means to pursue a new scientific challenge: bioprinting a hair follicle, the small organ that produces hair, using a bioprinter.
Designer Janne Kyttanen recently collaborated with online magazine Dezeen for an exclusive movie about his famous Lily Lamp. In the movie he explains how he designed the flower-shaped ´Lily´ lamp back in 2002 (almost 15 years ago now – time flies when you 3D print) as a demo of how 3D printing could be used. If you fast forward 16 years and look where we are today, 3D printing is pretty much common place.
The world’s most creative and powerful adhesive pen has returned with a modern design and improved formulation. September 26, 2016 (Msida, Malta)- The key to a successful 3D print always begins with the first layer, the starting point between your innovative idea and the physical representation of it. As 3D printing technology becomes more accessible, affordable, and capable of higher quality production, the need for an efficient and high-strength 3D printing adhesive has become more necessary than ever. That’s why the Malta-based startup Thought3D has reimagined the look and formulation of their Magigoo 3D printing adhesive pen, preparing their product for the next generation of desktop 3D printing.
