MatterHackers has unveiled the MatterControl Touch T10, a 10.6” touchscreen 3D printing “brain” which enables user to control their 3D printer without a computer. The device comes bundled with free access to MatterControl Cloud Sync’s wireless capabilities. With the MatterControl Touch T10, connectivity is key. Wi-Fi connects the device to the MatterControl Cloud, from which…
Similar to what is true with today’s 3D printing technologies, 3D scanners come in all shapes, sizes, costs and capabilities. Also just like with 3D printers, there is still no 3D scanner that can claim to be the silver bullet in terms of capturing professional grade 3D data, both large and small, in full-colour at an affordable price. Well,…
A funny and impossible project, trying to violate the third law of thermodynamics. A 3d printer that prints a power generator to power it during the printing process! Jokes apart, the project we are introducing today is a nice power generator (PMG permanent magnet generator), capable of switching on a 50W lightbulb (can’t now today…
Through their Project Escher, Autodesk is now working to turn 3D printing software upside down with a smart 3D printing production line that creates very large objects by running multiple toolpaths between multiple collaborating machines very efficiently. Could this be the future of large scale 3D printing? Autodesk is no stranger to 3D printing hardware…
With just a $1499 price tag, mUVe launched the best DLP 3D printer for money, proving also to be in the tradition of this great brand, one of the toughest resin printers you can purchase. While a veteran 3D printer or engineer might assemble a DIY machine in a moment’s notice, we wouldn’t advise this…
A few weeks ago, professional Swiss freeskier and filmmaker Nicolas Vuignier released Centriphone, a mesmerising video clip in which he seems to fly through ski slopes in a mind-blowing, slo-mo, 360-degree time warp. The filming technique was made possible thanks to an original 3D printed camera rig, which allowed him to confidently swing his iPhone…
Colorado-based open source 3D printer and hardware manufacturer Aleph Objects, Inc. saw record profits in 2015 as sales tripled. The record-breaking year of sales, driven primarily by their popular LulzBot TAZ 5 and LulzBot Mini 3D printers, pulled in nearly $15 million in year-over-year revenue. The company also grew to over 100 employees, and they are…
TwinTeeth multi-purpose PCB manufacturing machine was released at the beginning of 2015 by the two Spanish brothers behind open source developers Diyouware. While the multi-headed making machine was already very impressive at the time, they are now back for more with the metalized version of their multi-tool: the TwinTeeth Plus. This multi-purpose 3D printer is…
This year had witnessed a huge development of biomedical-applied 3D printing. The study of the following students has pushed further the artificial skin development, to help having more natural-appearing prosthetics. Now, a group of design and architecture students have taken that “customization factor” a step further and have been busy developing 3D printed prosthetic skins that…
Dr. Joshua Pearce of the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at Michigan Technological University has written an article on the advantages that 3D printing offers farmers in developing countries. Pearce explains “the growing number of free and open source designs for tools applicable to farming,” and how they can offer serious economic benefits to farmers. Pearce limits himself…
