Based on discussions I’ve heard lately, the next trend in 3D printing/additive manufacturing will be systems and machines that execute the 3 dimensional build function differently. For example, engineers and makers are already thinking about how you … [Read more...]
Out-of-the-box 3D printing: anti-gravity object modeling
One of the more interesting aspects of additive manufacturing/3D printing is how other people are exploring innovative ways to add material to create an object. Here is Mataerial, developed by Petr Novikov and Saša Jokić, who claim that this is a new … [Read more...]
Desktop 3D printer with print bed big enough for a basketball
Aleph Objects, Inc. has introduced a 3D printer, the LulzBot™ TAZ to its line up that it claims is a "a game changer." With the "largest print volume of any desktop 3D printer in its class," the TAZ (formerly known as TK-0) can print on a 12 in. X 11 … [Read more...]
“Out-of-the-box” 3D printer designs
Faster build speeds, tighter tolerances, smoother finishes, desktop size, and lower costs are just a few of the wishes of many who work with or who desire 3D printers. How can developers deliver such features? Some will argue better components. Some … [Read more...]
