MoSculp: MIT’s 3D printed sculptures deepen our understanding of movement AM Software

by Design

Since before Eadweard Muybridge famously photographed the motions of a running horse in the 1870s, humans have sought to understand how our bodies and those of animals move through space. Evidently, this drive to dissect and understand movement continues today, as a team of researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a new, state-of-the-art technique for analyzing movement.

J. Scott Schiller: HP focuses on reinventing with 3D printing, starting from the inside Marketing and Content

by Technologies

Gone are the days of “those who can’t do, teach”—replaced instead with “those who can do, lead by example,” especially in 3D printing. Industry powerhouse HP Inc. is certainly seeking to do and to lead, as it continues to invest in additive manufacturing as a strategic step forward. I appreciated the recent opportunity to speak to two key executives in HP’s global 3D printing operations to dive into the logistics of the business and how they see this technology as a viable solution for rethinking global manufacturing.
