Featured is an incredible demonstration of 3D printing art scupltures. Neri Oxman, architect, designer and assistant professor at MIT Media Lab, creates digital sculptures melding nature with digital design and additive manufacturing technology. She uses Objet’s multi-material Connex 3D Printing to bring the designs to life. In collaboration with Objet Geometries R&D, she appears to have access […]
PartSnap is now offering a new finish: metal plated 3D printed parts with a VeroWhitePlus core. The metal plating is available with matte and polished finishes and, in addition to its aesthetic value, it also provides structural enhancements to the parts. RePliForm has developed an excellent multi-layed metal-plating technology that they call RePliKote. Take a look […]
3D Printed Octopod Underwater Salvage V Here’s a common question I receive at PartSnap: How much detail can be handled in a 3D printed scale model? When SLA is selected for prototyping and model-making, the answer is: a lot. The SLA process creates parts with layers 0.001″ or less! It builds parts layer by layer, handling […]
It Pays To Prototype One of the most practical applications of high resolution SLA 3D Printing is for the validation of injection molded parts design. Will the parts fit and function as intended? With injection mold tooling costs running from $5,000 up to over $50,000 – it pays to prototype. Now you can leverage PartSnap’s […]
PartSnap’s 3D printer can manufacture kinematic 3d models (plastic models with moving parts) in a single print session. During printing, moving parts are separated from each other with a small gap which is filled with support material. After printing, the support material is washed away and the kinematic parts are freed to move relative to […]
