When we think about 3D Printing we may only think of plastic. We recognize that 3d printing is now part of the consumer market and it is a great tool for the hobbyist. #Additive #Manufacturing has a far more reaching affect in many areas. Many of the leading industries are applying this technology to make […]
Successful 3D printing with a moisture-responsive silicone is achieved thanks to the one component print head from ViscoTec One of the most prestigious universities in the United States of America is concerned with the additive manufacture of moisture-curing silicones. In particular, a research group in Mechanical Engineering is faced with the challenge of creating individual […]
Extruder for the layered construction of 2-component fluids ViscoTec makes it possible to print two-component liquids and pastes with maximum and consistent precision over the entire printing process: 3D printers have long been used in the industrial environment and are becoming even more interesting and lucrative for additive production thanks to further developments and increasing […]
Powered by a chemical reaction controlled by microfluidics, 3D-printed ‘octobot’ is a soft robot wihich has no electronics A team of Harvard University researchers with expertise in 3D printing, mechanical engineering, and microfluidics has demonstrated the first autonomous, untethered, entirely soft robot. This small, 3D-printed robot — nicknamed the octobot — could pave the way […]
Hello, I am Xpider, the smallest programmable spider robot in the world and I am available on the Wevolver platform. I am 85 mm in height and weigh 150 g. I am packed with awesome gadgets like a camera powered by Intel Edison and Curie. With a camera as my eye, I can show you […]
Light detection and ranging, or lidar, is a sensing technology based on laser light. It’s similar to radar, but can have a higher resolution, since the wavelength of light is about 100,000 times smaller than radio wavelengths. For robots, this is very important: Since radar cannot accurately image small features, a robot equipped with only […]
Once upon a time there lived one man in one galaxy. In childhood he saw Star Wars by George Lucas and fell in love with the movie. Since that time he had dreamt to create a robot like the one in the movie. But adult life worries swept away the dream from his memory for […]
SmarTech Publishing, the leading industry analysis and market forecasts provider for the 3D printing/additive manufacturing industry, is pleased to announce and welcome industry reporter Davide Sher as its Senior Analyst, 3DP Adoption Studies. Sher will be responsible for expanding the company’s market research and analysis activities by focusing on 3D printing end-user related issues and […]
People ask if and when 3D printing will become a method of mass production. As far as plastics go, I don’t know. For metals, though, it is a whole different story: it is already happening. Metal 3D printing technologies are evolving at breakneck speed, constantly increasing their size and velocity capabilities. One of the reasons […]
