Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a technology where two robots can work in unison to 3D-print. In this case, the robots are 3D printing a concrete structure. This method of concurrent 3D … [Read more...] about What’s next? Swarm 3D printing, i.e., synchronized 3D printing

New 3D printing technique–Build parts through software controlled chemical reactions
Better living through chemistry is a phrase that could be applied to the company Carbon. The founders’ goal is to make real final parts through a form of digital light processing. Parts so good, they rival conventional injection molded parts. Joe … [Read more...] about New 3D printing technique–Build parts through software controlled chemical reactions
AMUG 2016—a unique opportunity to learn and connect
Most conferences and shows about 3D printing / additive manufacturing (3DP/AM) focus on giving vendors an opportunity to reach potential customers. The Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Education & Training Conference is different. It … [Read more...] about AMUG 2016—a unique opportunity to learn and connect
How to eliminate 3D printing post processing steps
When engineers at Otterbox design a new style smart phone or smart tablet cover, they want the best possible prototype representation of the final product that they can achieve. They would prefer a prototype that is indistinguishable from the final … [Read more...] about How to eliminate 3D printing post processing steps
Vectorworks announces 3D printing plugin by 3YOURMIND
After concluding a second financing round in which Dr. Hans J. Langer, founder and CEO of EOS GmbH positioned himself as the new lead investor of the company in December 2015, Berlin-based 3YOURMIND GmbH continues to develop new 3D printing plugins … [Read more...] about Vectorworks announces 3D printing plugin by 3YOURMIND
Enhanced Objet Connex3 minimizes 3D printing process complexity
Stratasys Ltd. unveiled the enhanced Objet Connex3 at SolidWorks World 2016. Streamlining typically cumbersome processes and reversing high price-performance ratios, the Objet Connex3 should help accelerate the adoption of 3D printing by simplifying … [Read more...] about Enhanced Objet Connex3 minimizes 3D printing process complexity
Stratasys and Adobe partner to improve color 3D printing
Stratasys Ltd and Adobe want to make 3D printing more accessible, easier to use and help increase your creativity. To that end, Stratasys announced the release of Stratasys Creative Colors Software, powered by the Adobe 3D Color Print Engine, for its … [Read more...] about Stratasys and Adobe partner to improve color 3D printing
3D printing is helping researchers in development of energy-absorbing material
Because 3D printing forms objects differently than traditional machining or injection molding, it enables researchers to think outside the box when developing new materials. Interesting research on energy absorbing materials is underway at Purdue … [Read more...] about 3D printing is helping researchers in development of energy-absorbing material
Paper and color–a natural for 3D printing
Additively making parts using ordinary paper as the build material is a bit deceptive. On the one hand, you think such a 3D printed object can’t possibly handle the potential wear and tear you might expose it to. On the other hand, with the right … [Read more...] about Paper and color–a natural for 3D printing
Trends to watch in additive manufacturing
By the morning of the second day at the AMUG conference, the meme “Cool sh...t” was in full use. And after listening to Dr. Lonnie Love of Oak Ridge National Laboratories and all the #cool sh..t going on there, and Graham Trohman and Stefan Ritt and … [Read more...] about Trends to watch in additive manufacturing
