News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
After about a year since its first groundbreaking annoucement, Carbon3D unveiled the M1, its first commercial 3D printer. The Carbon3D M1 leverages on the ultra-fast Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology and engineering-grade materials to deliver on the promise of truly fast 3D printing for end use production.
Precision mechanics, made in Italy engineering, wide selection of compatible materials engineered for professional use, ideal for functional prototypes and high quality products, this is the new One+400 3D Printer for PEEK and PEI by Roboze.
US-Based DesignBox3D – a distributor of the best professional grade 3D Printers – and Spanish 3D printer manufacturer BCN3D Technologies have embarked on a on a partnership to bring the BCN3D SIGMA 3D Printer to the US market.
Fusion 3 F400 delivers 3D printing speed, quality and reliability, ...
Montreal-based Genistar is adding some finishing touches to its spanking new showroom where it is currently running a Prodways ProMaker L5000 3D printer. Genistar, whose sister company is Axis Prototypes a 3d printing service bureau also based in Montreal, became a North American distributor for Prodways’ line of production-grade 3d printers in June 2014. The showroom will allow Genistar to run printed parts through the machine, which boasts one of the fastest build cycles in the category of DLP (Digital Light Processing) printers, as well as serve as a demonstration piece for prospective customers.
British Inventors Project finalist Buzz Technology are showcasing their vision for two modular concepts which could find their way into future smartphones. Both 3D printed smartphone accessory prototype solutions were showcased at the Gadget Show LIVE! in Birmingham, UK. DRONE-IN-A-PHONE is a tethered microdrone that folds up and fits into a camera case. By placing the battery into the smartphone case, and using a folding mechanism, Buzz Technology’s Senake Atureliya and his team have managed to reduce the size and weight of the drone, thus making it pocket-size. Flight times are significantly increased and the mini drone is able to withstand strong winds.
The 27th yearly report form Wholers Associates is out and, as it has done for most of the previous editions, tells us of a rapidly growing AM industry. While the growth rate has slowed in the past year, mostly due to a “rebound” after hitting the peak of the hype cycle for many sectors of 3D printing, the industry has been growing at CAGR of 26.2% for almost there decades.
This is going to be a year of transition for 3D printing, a year that will see many big names try to make their mark, including HP. These giants, however, will have to compete with current industry leader Stratasys, which is going to put up a fight to lead the next generation of 3D printing, judging by the latest launch of the J750 6+1 materials, full color, polyjet 3D printing system.
Threeding (contact them via their directory page) a leading startup for 3D printable models, and Artec 3D, possible the most succesful developer and manufacturer of prosumer level 3D scanning hardware and software, have teamed up for the 3D digitization and availability of 55 3D printed endangered birds and bird species.
It is not our intention to compare ourselves to Caravaggio. It would only be presumptuous, to say the least. However, we would like to explain the tremendous and demanding work of modelling (and not just that!) that was carried out to replicate the Flagellation of Christ in 3D and how this goes a long way to demonstrate that 3D printed art is coming of age.
