3D Print Show-The World is About to Change Again
The internet changed the world in the 1990’s. The world is about to change again. Photo Courtesy of Ross Barber On the 20th of October the doors to the 3D Printshow opened and for the first time the British public was able to glimpse the future of manufacturing and the world of 3D print. Some […]
Characters Come to Life with GROWit™
Cost-effective 3D Character Printing by GROWit™ Since rapid prototyping began in 1988, the cost for the average 3D artist to produce their own creation has been exorbitant. With the latest additive manufacturing technology, artists are able to develop three dimensional digital models into physical objects without the timely process of sculpting by hand or expensive […]
University of Dayton Research Institute Wins $3 Million for 3-D Print Manufacturing Program
Published on July 25, 2012 by University of Dayton Research Institute Imagine being able to design a new aircraft engine part on a computer, and then being able to print it. Not the design – the actual part. And not just a lightweight, nonfunctional model, but an actual working part to be installed in an […]
University of Pennsylvania-Printing Cells Layer by Layer
Published on July 2, 2012 by University of Pennsylvania Bioengineers have been steadily advancing toward the goal of building lab-grown organs out of a patient’s own cells, but a few major challenges remain. One of them is making vasculature, the blood vessel plumbing system that delivers nutrients and remove waste from the cells on the […]
MIT-Printing Off The Paper
MIT research continues to push the boundaries of the burgeoning technology of 3-D printing. David L. Chandler, MIT News Office, Citation 0914 Imagine being able to “print” an entire house. Or a four-course dinner. Or a complete mechanical device such as a cuckoo clock, fully assembled and ready to run. Or a printer capable of […]
