ViscoTec Creates Two-Component 3D Printer Head for Liquids 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

ViscoTec makes it possible to print two-component liquids and pastes with maximum and consistent precision over the entire printing process: 3D printers have long been used in the industrial environment and are becoming even more interesting and lucrative for additive production thanks to further developments and increasing professionalism. For producing three-dimensional objects, thermoplastics, ceramics or metals are usually used. But in addition to the classical materials in 3D printing, viscous fluids and pastes based on a two-component polymer are increasingly used. These include, for example, silicones, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, acrylates and polyester resins.

SkelETHon 3D printed concrete canoe wins first prize at German regatta 3D Printing Events

by Design

Since 2005, ETH has consistently taken part in the concrete canoe regattas with great success, and this year ETH won the 1st prize for Design Innovation for the 3rd year in a row. SkelETHon, the 114 Kilogram 3D printed concrete canoe, was a collaboration between DBT – who provided the computational design and digital fabrication expertise – and the PCBM Group – who developed the concrete mixes and processes used in the construction of the boat.

Pastor Uses Shapr3D to Make Models for His Community AM Software

by Design

Trent is a pastor from the US, with an education in theology and computer science. A rare combination, but a trend we have been seeing more frequently among Shapr3D users. Unrelated, previously unheard industries/fields are starting to realize the power of 3D modeling/3D printing, and what it can bring to their lives, their micro communities. Trent is creating 3D printed pieces for his community and family. We talked with him about his beginnings, and the printing projects he is currently working on.
