The inception of RepRap in 2005 was also the birth of a subsequently increasing trend to make 3D printing more accessible, by way of smaller hardware platforms, lower capital and running costs and ease of use. Obviously, RepRap was, is and likely will continue to be much more than that, with its inherent philosophy of self-replicating machines. However, this trend of increasing accessibility to 3D printing for a much wider audience is, arguably, currently the most impactful consequence of RepRap to date.
Leading 3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker is integrating HP scanning software with ...
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.
The Polish low-cost 3D printing scene is ripe with excitement, with several players battling it out on the wake of Zortrax’s global success and dominance in the segment. With the new 3DGence DOUBLE 3D printer, the Polish manufacturer 3DGence is answering Zortax’s recent launch of the M200 Plus and is out to take market shares away from the current market leader. Equipped with a dual extruder, the DOUBLE 3D printer is shipping out starting today, March 15th.
A few months after the installation of a ProMaker P1000 at Creabis and Inovsys sites, two growing services bureaus, Do’in3D enters the list of 3D printing service providers who use Prodways Technologies’ affordable Selective Laser Sintering 3D printer to quickly answer the expanding industrial market needs.
Senvol is developing data-driven machine learning additive manufacturing (AM) software for the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research (ONR). Senvol’s software analyzes the relationships between AM process parameters and material performance.
FabRx is a spin-out company from the University College London (UCL) holding a unique leadership position in the development of 3D printing for fabricating medicines (a segment 3DPMN has covered in the past). The company employs different 3D printing technologies such as FDM, SLA and now SLS to manufacture what it refers to as “Printlets” (3D printed tablets), with a wide range of pharmaceutical excipients.
Folding Robot-R is the second in a series of folding robots designed as an applications for “4D” printing. It was inspired by the “Robby” robot that appears in the movie “Forbidden Planet (1956)” The original design is by Goo Sangkwon, of GOODesign Studio and CEO at 3D model marketplace Fab365.
