After years of being lumped in with other maker-oriented technologies, 3D printing finally has its own professional conference, the Inside 3D Printing event in New York. [Read more] See the original post: In New York, 3D Printing finally gets its day in the sun autoblogging
And now some 3D Printing history. This amazing historic TV clip originates with a show entitled, “Good Morning America” and is dated from 1989 – twenty-four years ago.
We’ve been fortunate to be able to examine some 3D printed objects from Objet in their Vero Clear material first hand. While we’ve seen clear (and clear-ish) items printed before, there seems to be advantages when used in a multi-material 3D printer.
Forgive us for the countdown drama, but our engineers have been working on something very exciting! It’s fun to have a big secret, and it’s even better to shout it out: Our new printer is so cool! First of all, for a professional Fused Deposition Modeling system, Mojo is impressively compact.
As mentioned on our blog before … this year will see the rise of another Materialise World Conference . As it’s just around the corner we thought it would be a great idea to remind you guys of the awesomeness that it will bring. Are you curious to know who will win the Hats off to 3D Printing Design Challenge
As we reach towards the end of the month, we look back at the awesome events that took place in the world of 3D printing. In this sense, the month of March was quite an interesting month with successful Kickstarter projects, a superb Free Universal Construction Kit, a cool guide on how to build a 3D printer yourself and much, much more.
We were contacted by designer Mat Schwartz, who’s been experimenting with jewelry printing. Recently he made something unique for Valentine’s Day: a heart.
2012 may be the year of 3D printing, when this three-decade-old technology finally becomes accessible and even commonplace. Lisa Harouni gives a useful introduction to this fascinating way of making things — including intricate objects once impossible to create
Stephen Hawking We are proud to announce that our mother company Materialise will be featured in an upcoming episode of ‘Brave New World with Stephen Hawking’, a Channel 4 documentary series during which “Professor Stephen Hawking examines how science is striving for humankind’s next leap forward”. So, for those of you who are living in the UK, be sure to set your DVRs because you will not want to miss a minute of this show.
