News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The Chaos Core Tech YouTube channel – that created the 3D printed Iron Giant – is run by Garrett, a full time programmer, who loves to make things in downtime. He makes 3D models and 3D print them out, then his wife, Chelsey, paints them and makes them look amazing. Thorough his video he shares his experience along with the files he creates.
MachineWorks Ltd, creator of the Polygonica Polygonal Modelling Software Engine, is introducing new solutions for solving difficult 3D scanning problems such as complex hole filling in a point cloud of the 3D object. 3D scanners often produce 3D models with missing regions or with holes. Polygonica’s latest function addresses hole filling by recapturing the original geometry of the 3D data thanks to clever geometry manipulation.
RP Platform, the London-based company providing AM automation software, has released its new file versioning system that allows AM departments to achieve full traceability in their operations and better coordinate their project workflows.

During the awards dinner of the 6th edition of the Additive World Conference, Chairman of the Jury, Ultimaker co-founder, Erik de Bruijn, announced Aidro Hydraulics and Fraunhofer Institute winners of the Additive World Design for Additive Manufacturing Challenge. All six finalists, three in the student category and three professionals, pitched their designs in front of the 5 member jury. After deliberation they made a well-advised selection in both categories. The awards, a set of gears and a hydraulic manifold, were for redesigns of very common industrial parts where the impact of the design for additive manufacturing would be substantial.
