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 […]
In July 2012, PartSnap® introduced a 3D Printing Instant Quote system allowing clients to seamlessly upload STL files, configure an order and purchase high-resolution 3D printed prototypes, all online.  The video below highlights some of the basic functionality of the system. Watch the demo full-screen: PartSnap 3D Printing Instant Quote System Demonstration Visit the PartSnap 3D Printing […]
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 […]
PartSnap’s 3D printer can manufacture kinematic 3d models (plastic models with moving parts) in a single print session. Â During printing, moving parts are separated from each other with a small gap which is filled with support material. Â After printing, the support material is washed away and the kinematic parts are freed to move relative to […]
