An overview of our experience with FiberFlex 40D The prints were done on Ultimaker with 0.8mm nozzle. Our observations are that as every flexible filament, it has to be printed with a slower speed. The retraction setting is better not to be used and the print...
While dealing with large scale 3D printing, I asked myself why is it so important for us today and what can actually give us. It's seems like sky is the limit for what can be 3D printed and everyday we hear about the next best...
Today we can print so many things in various industries or just for fun, some things are more practical then the other, but are still a result of the fast development of the 3D printing. One of the industries that can take a big advantage of...
Dr. Anthony Williams of the National Center of Computational Toxicology and the Environmental Protection Agency in the US, has developed a JMol searchable database of over 30,000 3D printable crystal models for use in education. The project first came about when Williams was working with the...
In a conversation with Forbes Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Vice President and Director of Rolls-Royce, explains how he managed to save the company from its downward spiral in 2009. The success is due in part to the departure from determined taste-maker to bespoke manufacturer, and with that,...
Thanks to the Essence of Autonomy Challenge from electronics distribution giants Mouser and Local Motors, we are now looking at a future where autonomous cars have a drone sidekick. If there’s no need to physically drive the car, what else are you going to do? As the...
The world’s largest manufacturer of trucks has turned to 3D printing to produce spare parts for its vast range of trucks. Daimler has joined the likes of Audi and BMW, who have both adopted additive manufacturing for producing spare parts on a ‘just in time’ basis. The...
A car enthusiast turned to her local robotics club, after finding out that a spare part for her car would cost much more than simply making a new one. Yellowknife resident Jan Fullerton is the proud owner of a 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four, a rare version...
Since the early days of 3D printing, marks have been set for the architectural industry to implement additive manufacturing technology into the construction of full-scale buildings. Research into Contour Crafting was conducted as far back as 2008. Caterpillar Inc. provided funding to the USC Viterbi...
