We begin our tour of the 3D printing industry this month with an additively manufactured concept car. Local 12 reports on LOCI, a fully 3D printed concept car developed by Berlin-based BigRep. Every component, down to the tires, of this batmobile-looking concept car, have been 3D printed. Indeed, even the largest part of the car,Continue reading “3D Printing: February 2020”

3D Printing Media Network reports from boot Dusseldorf, where JAMADE Germany has just recently announced AMAZEA, the first serially 3D printed underwater scooter. JAMADE Germany, which is “a company focused on the development and production of electrically powered sports equipment, developed and serially produced the AMAZEA underwater scooter using large format extrusion 3D printing technology.Continue reading “First Serially 3D Printed Underwater Scooter”

Dezeen reports on yet another pavilion getting 3D printed in Saudi Arabia. Only this time, it was created using sand. This “sustainable sand-printed installation called Sandwaves” is located in Diryah, Saudi Arabia specifically and was created by architects Chris Precht and Arthur Mamou-Mani. “The ribbon-like structure is 3D printed from sand and furan resin forContinue reading “Another 3D Printed Pavilion in Saudi Arabia”

3D Printing Industry reports Scan Dimension, a 3D scanner developer “with offices in the US and Denmark, has announced an update to the software for its SOL 3D scanner.” With this update, Scan Dimension is providing “a number of new and improved features for the scanner, including improved scanning speed, and support for the latestContinue reading “SOL 3D Scanner Software Updated”

Local 12 reports on LOCI, a fully 3D printed concept car developed by Berlin-based BigRep. Every component, down to the tires, of this batmobile-looking concept car, have been 3D printed. Indeed, even the largest part of the car, which “measures 1000 x 600 x 700 mm, was fully 3D printed in one piece.” While LOCIContinue reading “LOCI: Fully 3D Printed Concept Car”

Lancashire Business View reports on a recent announcement made by BAE Systems and Renishaw. Apparently, they are forming an alliance with the ‘aim to advance 3D printing.’ “BAE Systems has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with manufacturing firm Renishaw which will see the two organizations work together to develop 3D printing for the defense sector”Continue reading “BAE Systems and Renishaw Form Alliance”

EurekAlert! reports from the University of Lincoln in the UK, where engineers have developed a 3D printed sensor-operated prosthetic arm prototype. This prototype was developed with toddlers in mind. The prototype, “a lightweight device with soft grip fingers, uses an armband fitted with sensors to detect electrical signals naturally conducted by muscles. This would enableContinue reading “3D Printed Sensor-Operated Prosthetic Arm”

Tech Radar considers the future of nano 3D printing. Indeed, a miniature replica of Michelangelo’s statue of David has been 3D printed to demonstrate the technology’s future. While the original statue of David stands at over 5 meters in height, this 3D printed recreation is tiny – only 1mm tall. And yet, it loses noneContinue reading “The Future of Nano 3D Printing”

Plant Based News reports on Spanish startup NovaMeat, which has apparently developed the “most realistic” 3D printed plant based “steak.” “The vegan meat extrudes ingredients such as pea, seaweed, and beetroot juice into fine fibers” in order to replicate muscle tissue. NovaMeat aims to launch their additively manufactured meat “in select restaurants in Spain andContinue reading ““Most Realistic” 3D Printed Plant Based “Steak””

3D Printing Industry reports on a fascinating experiment carried out at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT). Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering Ling Li “has developed 3D printed flexible scaled armor inspired by the chitons, a group of marine mollusks.” With this study, Professor Li’s team “sought to improve on theContinue reading “3D Printed Mollusk-Inspired Armor”
