3D Printing
3D robot prints a bridge in steel
With robots that 3D 'draw' in steel, MX3D will print a bridge over the water in the centre of Amsterdam. The company researches and develops groundbreaking, cost-effective robotic 3D printing technology. Printing an intricate, ornate metal bridge for a special location is the ultimate test for robots and software, engineers, craftsmen and designers. The bridge by designer Joris Laarman will be ready in 2017.
Fallingwater lives to see its 3D printed version
Fallingwater, the one-of-a-kind house designed by America’s most famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, has lived to see its spectacular 3D printed version. The residence was created with three different techniques: CNC milling, laser engraving and 3D printing. It took only two weeks to complete the project using the ZMorph all-in-one Personal Fabricator and the latest version of the voxel-based software, Voxelizer.
API 'teleports' users to a network of 16,000+ 3D printers
A public API which enables creators of 3D content to integrate a 3D print button for their models, connecting their users to a network of over 16,000 3D printers, has been introduced by 3D Hubs.
Software adjusts adhesive pressure of 3D printers
Mcor Technologies, manufacturer of the only line of desktop paper-based 3D printers, has announced the availability of new SliceIT print driver software for the its IRIS and Matrix 300+ line of Selective Deposition Lamination (SDL) 3D printers.
3D printer provides 360° HD colour
Providing 360° HD colour while reducing operating costs by 20%, the Mcor IRIS HD 3D printer has been introduced by Mcor Technologies. Built on new algorithms and a newly designed carbide cutting tip, the printer makes full-colour detail and text on 3D printed models sharper than ever to deliver a photorealistic appearance around the full geometry of the model and better communication of granular information.
3D printed products could treat head injuries
The use of 3D printing in the health sector can radically modify patient care, making it economically accessible to all and implementing personalised therapies. The collaboration between the World’s Advanced Saving Project (WASP) and the Banca delle Cellule e del Tessuto Muscoloscheletrico (Bank of Cells and Muscular-Skeletal Tissue), based within the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, is enabling revolutionary projects.
