Create it REAL Introduces New Solutions to the 3D Printing Copyright Issue 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Even though the 3D printing market is booming, many companies or designers creating 3D models are reluctant to share or sell them online because of intellectual property issues. Same as for the music industry back in the 90’s when the mp3 became popular, 3D files could be copied, altered and shared for free on internet. New business models emerged, like with Spotify, and helped the industry to move forward. Create it REAL, the Danish R&D center specialised in 3D printing technologies, has developed a solution that will allow designers to create their new business models.

NVIDIA partners with HP Labs to introduce GVDB voxel level 3D printing 3D Printing Processes

by Design

Computer graphics hardware and software giant NVIDIA revealed its intention to begin targeting real GVDB voxel-level 3D printing through both dedicated software and hardware. This strategy is meant to target the current limitations in 3D printing objects that are made of several different materials and parts. Identified challenges in 3D printing include multiple colors, differing densities and the use of a mix of materials.

NVIDIA presents GVDB voxels software dev kit and VOX3 3D printer 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

NVIDIA GVDB Voxels is ideally suited for 3D Printing design, prototyping and embedded applications where both performance and memory footprint are critical. Voxels enable a next-generation approach to the 3D Printing workflow as they represent complex, connected microstructures and heterogeneous materials more easily than polygons. Supporting very high-resolution volumes with massive parallelism on GPUs, the sparse data structure of NVIDIA GVDB Voxels allows for geometric operations, simulation and rendering of complex models with fine detail. GVDB Voxels is ideally suited as core representation for 3D Printing Design applications, Generative Design, Process Engineering, Materials Simulation or print PreVisualization.

3D Printed Steering Shaft Reduces TU Darmstadt Student Racecar Weight by 50% Additive Manufacturing

by Design

The new TU Darmstadt racecar for the current Formula Student competition contains no fewer than five ultralight 3D printed components from Heraeus. A steering shaft made from a special aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg) is nearly 50% lighter than the model that preceded it. The new steering shaft, designed and printed by Heraeus precisely to the specifications of the TU Darmstadt racing team, now weighs barely 300 grams while maintaining the same mechanical strength and stability.

Beamler’s cloud software streamlines large scale 3D printing for manufacturers AM Software

by Design

Amsterdam-based software company Beamler has developed a plug & play cloud-based software solution that empowers every manufacturer to reap the full benefits of large-scale 3D printing. A growing number of large manufacturers are adopting 3D printing but the majority experience implementation barriers and operational issues. Beamler helps those manufacturers to make the transition to new production techniques like 3D printing much easier, faster and cheaper.

Nervous System Uses New Formlabs Fuse 1 to 3D Print Entire Kinematics Dress AM Software

by Design

In preparation for the launch of the innovative, Fuse 1 desktop SLS system, Formlabs contacted leading 3D printing designers N-e-r-v-o-u-s S-y-s-t-e-m about using some of their Kinematics dress designs for their new secret project. They were particularly interested in printing a Kinematics garments, but the Fuse 1 machine is MUCH smaller than the 3D printer that fabricated previous Nervous Systems garments.
