XYZprinting and Nexa3D To Preview MfgPro220 xPF at Rapid + TCT 2018 3D Printer Hardware

XYZprinting, the world leader in desktop 3D printing, and Nexa3D, the maker of ultrafast stereolithography professional-grade 3D printers, are going to jointly preview their game-changing MfgPro220 xPF 3D printer at Rapid + TCT in Fort Worth Texas, April 24-28, 2018. The two companies will offer non-stop live demonstrations of this demonstrated concept with the printer available for sale in November 2018. This is the first ultrafast 3D printer presented in partnership between XYZprinting and Nexa3D.

A paper that was just submitted to the Cornell University Library describes how to obtain accurate 3D body models and texture of arbitrary people from a single, monocular video in which a person is moving. The paper was authored by Thiemo Alldieck, Marcus Magnor, Weipeng Xu, Christian Theobalt and Gerard Pons-Moll; it will be presented at the upcoming Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition conference in Salt Lake City.

3MF Consortium releases first standardized 3D Beam Lattice Extension 3D Visualization

The 3MF Consortium (3MF) ratified and released its Beam Lattice Specification Extension to its 3MF Core Specification today. The 3MF Beam Lattice extension is a new method for storing and transferring lattice-type geometry information. By providing support for beam lattices, 3MF solves a significant interoperability issue for the additive manufacturing industry and provides an elegant solution to a problem that is not easily addressed in other file formats. The benefits of using 3MF’s Beam Lattice Extension in additive manufacturing are significant and broad and include improved design flexibility, lower material costs and reduced production time.

Polygonica Present a New Hole Filling Feature for 3D Scanning 3D Scanning Sevices

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.
