3 Recipes for 3D Printing Start Up Failures 1. Being product focused when you need to be market focused. Every start up I look at talks about the great differentiators and how they are 5% better than the competitor. Just because you can out invent Hewlett-Packard doesn’t mean you can out sell them. Does the […]

Here is an interesting project in 3d printing using Autodesk and other tools for remote, collaborative 3d printing. It uses many 3D printing materials to get the job done.

In Normal 3d Printing, First, the printer prepares the printing chamber. Then, the model is printed by shooting colored glue on layer by layer of plaster powder. When all layers have been printed, the model can be dug out of the printing chamber with the help of a vacuum cleaner that is built into the […]

3D printing firm MakerBot is bringing a downloadable Sesame Street figurine to its digital store, the first such file for its newly licensed brand. Mr Snuffleupagus is currently the only Sesame Street character on offer, although the company intends to release more in the future. Some toy industry insiders fear 3D printing may have a […]

10 3D Printing Firms That Will Fail from Bill Decker OK, we don’t list names, just types of firms. See this quick slide show and enjoy. And for support, think about doing some 3D Printing Advertising

In this episode, our friends inkjet and voxel debate whether engineers are necessary for 3D Printing. Can regular normal people use 3D Printing technology without an expert?

Can market research firms really understand the 3D Printing Industry? Here is a quick video which provides an overview into the space. You’ll notice it’s a bit out of date, especially when we look at market capitalizations. But the video offers some insight anyway. Subscribe to our 3D Printing Newsletter.

Manufacturing the future: The next era of global growth and innovation, a major report from the McKinsey Global Institute, presents a clear view of how manufacturing contributes to the global economy today and how it will probably evolve over the coming decade. Our findings include the following points: Manufacturing’s role is changing. The way it […]

The centers–opened inside the Fifth Avenue and Studio City stores in the last month. Staples offers assistance from 3-D printing experts and eventually plans more such centers. “Part of our brand is to help small businesses market themselves,” says Damien Leigh, Staples’ senior vice president of business services. “3-D printing is an emerging technology, and […]

Sub $1000 3D printer prints in two colors, dual materials, integrated nozzle and more. 3D printing is getting even easier for consumers. Out of the box and plug-and-play. Keith Ozar shares the latest from 3D Systems new Cube 3D printer at CES 2014.

HP Sprout at Intel Booth – CES 2015. Watch what this HP computer does with 3D Printing and 3D Scanning. It turns 3D objects into 3D Renders.

To help you get more, targeted Facebook Fans, they’ve designed a strategic Facebook “Like” and Engagement Campaign package that will hone in on the exact 3D printing prospects your business wants to connect with and expose them to your offer, with Facebook ads. Their Facebook team knows how to get results and are ready to […]

It all starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is made in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file using a 3D modeling program (for the creation of a totally new object) or with the use of a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). A 3D […]

Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo is headed back to NYC! Attendees will experience the biggest show yet, with a day of workshops on April 2, the new Maker Summit & Pavilion, more speakers, and bigger exhibitions than ever before. Several exciting new elements have also been added to the New York conference, including a […]

3d printed products on display at 3d printing show from 3dprintingindustry on Vimeo. The manufacturing technique should be very flexible, to boot. We already knew that 3D Systems would be making conductive ink (with the help of Carnegie Mellon University and X5 Systems) to print working parts, like antennas. However, it will also print parts […]

Suffering from a chest wall sarcoma (a type of cancerous tumour that grows, in this instance, around the rib cage), the 54 year old man needed his sternum and a portion of his rib cage replaced. This part of the chest is notoriously tricky to recreate with prosthetics, due to the complex geometry and design […]

This video tells it simply, but frankly. A lot of people simply are unimpressed with “wow, look at what we 3D Printed today!” and are looking for strong branding, positioning and sales. Drop us a line and let us help! Email Us

The maker movement is made up of some 135 million adults in the U.S., however, it’s more than just a U.S. movement. From 3D printers to laser cutters—makers employ various tools to create their goods. Many gather at makerspaces where they share these resources. Makerspaces are havens for techies, artists, and entrepreneurs. Learn more about […]

PlasticBank.org has printed the world’s first 3D printing filament from recycled ocean plastic. The video shows the journey of collecting the plastic from the shorelines of Alaska, the sorting, recycling and a successful print from HPDE which is a very difficult plastic type for 3D printing. Selecting a hard to print but commonly found plastic […]

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil featured something truly amazing… a paralyzed, non-ambulatory Brazilian teenager stood up and kicked the first soccer ball with the help of a 3D printed robotic exoskeleton. Isn’t 3D printing amazing? For more videos about 3d printing check out the 3D Printing Channel on YouTube : 3d printing videos.

“Within a short few years, 3D printing has already influenced many industries from fashion to manufacturing, and from medical to food production; the opportunities are simply limitless. Many of our European users have benefited from not only our printers but also our expertise and support to the open-source community. We are happy to extend this […]

There are multiple techniques that are used to produce 3D printed medical models for trial purposes. For example, there are multiple types of 3D printing: 1) Stereolithography This technique uses a UV laser light which focus on phot- reactive resin working in an additive manner to create a solid object. 2) Fused Deposition Modeling This […]
