If you take a look at current 3D printing industry trend you may notice that producers of 3D printers offer ABS filament as an option more and more seldom. At origin ABS was among very first plastic materials that were used in fast developing 3D printing industry. It was chosen because of its heavy use Read more
During the Art Bytes hackathon that took place at Walter Art Museum in Baltimore last weekend, 3d scanning/modeling company Direct Dimensions was doing 3D scanning of different objects inside the museum. One of the objects chosen for 3D scanning was a bust of George Washington. This event gathered about 14 teams and one of them Read more
A several days ago a big 3d printing project was finished. It was started in last October by Leapfrog 3D printers in collaboration with the Chinese Nanjing Museum and Dutch museum De Nieuwe Kerk, it took about four month to accomplish this masterpiece. 3D Printed scale model of China’s ‘Forbidden City’ is 1:300 of the Read more

We are likely to observe a 3D printing breakthrough, just the same as it was with computers in the 1970s and 1980s. Similarly we can compare those to Apple I, which Wozniak first presented homemade. Many get excited about taking the machine apart and putting it together rather than about what the machine created. For Read more
4D printing is developing. Now it’s possible to build furniture and disguise-changing tanks using 4d printers. 4D-printing makes it possible for 3D printed stuff to be self-disguised, for example, by changing the absorbing qualities of the stuff. This would enable change of shape when contacting water. Just think of the time when there’s no need Read more
