Shelly Linor in her travels around the world together with Strarasys was lucky to deal with educators, professors and leaders and discuss with them the necessity of formal and informal 3D printing education. The demand for 3D printing experience and skills is growing all the time. And a lot more fields of industries in a Read more
3D printing is gaining its popularity every day. Every day researchers from all over the world find new ways and new spheres to use 3D printers. Students from the Free University of Brussels are not an exception. One of them, Wesly Jacobs, chose 3D printing and its impact on logistics as his thesis research topic. Read more
Probably there is no such a global or local protest, where at least someone is wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. In the beginning they looked rather threatening to put their position across. But then as they became common and the public got used to them, their original point was almost lost because of the masks Read more
There are lots of things in the world that we can 3D print – food, metals and human organs. Have you ever dreamed of 3D printing light like paper instead of circular bulbs? That’s what Idaho-based startup Rohinni is developing. On their twitter you can read that they 3D print light. Their main aim is Read more
3D printed objects can be of any size on condition that the printing bed can handle it. However it doesn’t mean that everything should grow in size. Significance and value are not achieved through large size. Tiny objects and projects are just as valuable. A good example is the project by Andrés Gómez, a Spanish Read more
This is the first time scientists from Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) have managed to show 3D printed nanostructures made totally of graphene, the material quite promising for future experiments. The breakthrough approach was published in Advanced materials edition from November, 3, 2014. It consists in applying stretched liquid ink meniscus to create 3D reduced Read more
The Open Toy project appeared in summer in 2013 during the discussion group at Domaine de Boisbuchet in France. Designer Samuel N.Bernier used waste material from the band saw like as wood and cork to create a range of toys employing 3D printing technology. He created six attachments and printed them on a Makerbot 3D Read more
3D bioprinting is renowned for its medical possibilities. It’s one of the most important technologies. Although the great part of the technology is still in the theoretical level and far from coming into our lives, some part of such technologies are likely to become close to medical treatment. And it is the PrintAlive 3D bioprinter. Read more
XYZPrinting started developing its first 3D food printer, which makes food with edible ingredients and capsules. Chairman of the company Simon Shen presented the new printers during the press conference in Taipei on November, 13. Their new food printer works just as usual 3D printers, but it extrudes food of different consistencies and temperatures instead Read more
A commercial 3D printer was installed last week on board the International Space Station to try it out on the orbit. There have been lots of talks about it about getting have the machine on the space station, which finally came true. Astronaut Barry Wilmore unboxed the 3D printer from the package and placed it Read more
