A touching story of how 3D printing can be used to change and improve lives. The innovative doctors at Nemours use Stratasys FDM parts to build exoskeletons for children with disorders requiring assistance moving their arms. They call the device a Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (WREX): WREX is a modular body-powered orthosis that is mounted to a person’s […]
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 […]
Update (27 July 2012): PartSnap Online 3D Printing Instant Quote (beta) is now live. When PartSnap started, we had no immediate need for an online 3D Printing Instant Quote system. We were founded with the goal of serving the underservered Rapid Prototyping markets around Dallas / Fort Worth / North Texas. These markets include small […]

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 […]
