We are harnessing the power of next generation 3D search to revolutionize the way you source parts. We provide a tool that makes this critical process rapid, accurate and cheap. (It’s faster, better, cheaper!) Our philosophy is, if “a picture paints a thousand words”, then “a 3D model contains a thousand specs”! A new…
Let’s learn about hardware and software features of the open source 3D printer from Open-Electronics. Among the advantages of open source hardware and software lies the ability to know all the construction and design details and have access to all the parameters to change the device operation in details. We have all the information…
Core 77 pointed out an amazing job done by 3ders: “… there are tons of other 3D printers available on the consumer market, and plenty of questions you might not have the answers handy to: Which can I most easily buy if I’m in India, the Netherlands, or Taiwan? What are the build envelopes and…
NEWS! Access the schematic of the printer here on the Rep Rap Wiki Few months ago, after long months of testing, assembling and disassembling, print trials,and countless sleepless nights we finally decided to give birth our interpretation of the RepRap project. First steps When we picked up the first RepRap kit, an elaboration of a…
Sometimes you must be ambitious in imagining the future: that’s what Joshua Harris did with the clothing industry: As production and agriculture are being moved closer to cities, there is a massive upheaval in how we obtain the things we need to live. Thanks to new technology and innovative thinking, urban gardens, a connected global…
3D printing technology can produce complex objects directly from computer aided digital designs. The technology has traditionally been used by large companies to produce fit and form concept prototypes (‘rapid prototyping’) before production. In recent years however there has been a move to adopt the technology as full-scale manufacturing solution. The advent of low-cost, desktop…
Materialise is proud to announce the official launch of a new, highly flexible and durable material for 3D Printing: TPU 92A-1. Designers and engineers have been challenging Materialise to come up with a flexible 3D Printing material that is durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of an end-use product, and TPU is their…
For those who lost it: Makerbot industries announced at SXSW in Austin few days ago that they will be realeasing a Desktop 3D Scanner: In perfect MakerBot/SXSW fashion, Bre unveiled an early prototype of the newest addition to our 3D ecosystem, the MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner. This is a product we have been eager to…
We wanted to design a 3D printing device that could be used within minutes, without needing any technical knowledge, software or computers. We also wanted it to be affordable as well as fun, so that anyone could 3Doodle! Peter Dilworth, Co-Founder & CEO of WobbleWorks via The 3Doodler. Ok, this is officially driving us crazy:…
Do you remember Formlabs Form 1? The high resolution, affordable printer that got a patent infringement lawsuit right after its Kickstarter campaign by 3Dsystems? The terrific campaign that ended up with over $2.9 million funding gave the team the possibility to focus on solving those issues and eventually they were able to start the production and…
As you may know, Josef Prusa is among the most important contributors of Rep Rap project. Prusa Mendel, a simpler, easier to build variation of Rep Rap’s Mendel printer. Josef Prusa is famous for his dedication to the openness of Desktop 3D Printing, his post, “Open Hardware Meaning” and his Occupy Thingiverse, in late 2012 when we all…
“Setting up a lunar base could be made much simpler by using a 3D printer to build it from local materials. Industrial partners including renowned architects Foster + Partners have joined with ESA to test the feasibility of 3D printing using lunar soil.” via Building a lunar base with 3D printing / Technology / Our…
