In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Built with Airbus, the Metal 3D Printer completed the first of four test shapes.Con… Continue reading First-ever 3D metal printing in space achieved on ISS
Last year, Anker breezed into the desktop 3D printing space with the AnkerMake M5, launching on Kickstarter to test the market and fund production. Now the company has announced a more affordable follow up called the M5C.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D Pr… Continue reading Anker makes high-speed 3D printing even more affordable with the M5C
We might soon replace our stovetops, ovens, and microwaves with 3D printers after mechanical engineers from Columbia University successfully created a cooked slice of cheesecake made from a record-breaking seven ingredients.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D… Continue reading Engineers 3D print record-breaking 7-ingredient cooked cheesecake
Fabricating models, design prototypes and replacement parts on a desktop 3D printer in the home or workplace can be a great time-saver, but prints can still take many hours to complete. Anker has entered the 3D printer space to change that with the Ank… Continue reading Anker aims to speed up and simplify desktop 3D printing with the M5
A lot of 3D-printed architecture is focused on creating relatively simple and utilitarian structures that look functional but show little thought paid to aesthetics. However, leading 3D printing firm Icon has joined forces with prestigious studio Lake|… Continue reading House Zero brings high-end design to 3D-printed architecture
Newton famously said, “If I see further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” For 3D printing, though, it might be the reverse. If a printer …read more Continue reading 3D Printering: Giants
Toolchanging in 3D printers is no longer something from the bleeding edge; it’s going mainstream. E3D has a high-quality kit for a toolchanger and motion system, our own Joshua Vasquez …read more Continue reading Ask Hackaday: Are Extruders the Only Feasible Tools for Toolchanging?
Though 3D-printed architecture is still in its relative infancy, Icon has already produced both affordable homes in Mexico and luxury residences in the US. The firm has now teamed up with prestigious studio Lake|Flato Architects to create another new 3… Continue reading Icon’s House Zero showcases next-generation 3D-printed architecture
Hybrid manufacturing systems like DMG Mori’s Lasertec 65 DED hybrid are starting to pop up here and there with the ability both to add metal via laser deposition 3D printing, and to subtract it via more traditional milling processes, giving you somewha… Continue reading Meltio Engine transforms any CNC machine into a hybrid 3D print system
