clay 3d printer

Ceramics and pottery are widely created in different industries including house and home products, architecture and art. As 3D printing technology evolves, many initiatives have been presented to 3D printing using different materials such as metal, food and clay. Using the clay as a 3D printing technology would open the doors for many possibilities including printing for similar materials such as cement. 3D printing with these materials can develop expansion and introduce technology to print house products to even fill up entire rooms. The traditional pottery industry requires expert hand and accuracy in order to build the ceramics and pottery[…]

3d printer

The 3D printing technology enabled many designers and inventors to prototype their ideas and turn it from a draft idea to a real product. Furthermore, the 3D printers become more affordable and reachable than before. The desktop 3D printers becomes cheaper than before and many initiations and Kickstarter projects aim to build affordable 3D printers. These initiatives promote it to become a learning tool for children to help them visualize their ideas and turn their imagination into real products for the future. However, there are some barriers that halt using the 3D printing technology for children such as the high temperature[…]

Kickstarter 3d printer

The Micro is considered the most funded Kickstarter 3D printer as it pledged more than $3,4 millions from the $50,000 goal. Looking to the 3D printer design and production strategy can give a reason why it hits this high fundraising on Kickstarter. The Kickstarter 3D printer is created by M3D LLC. with simple design three goals. The 3D printer should be initiative, easy to own and has a unique design. The 3D printer is very cheap as it is offered for $349 during the pre-order period. The printer is aimed to facilitate 3D printing for different purposes on cheap cost.[…]

cheap 3d printer

This may sounds weird but the idea behind it is very simple. Do you have some old DVD drivers at home? Then you have almost all the hardware component to build your own cheap 3D printer. The idea of building DIY 3D printer or 3D printing a 3D printer is common and many implementation for it has be published to the Internet such as the RipRap 3D printers and self-assembly printers. However, this one make it even more easier by giving the chance to anyone to build a low cost 3D printer with out any mechanical or engineering knowledge. All[…]

Pirx 3D Released Pirx One with Extreme Quality Output

0

Pirx 3D is a Polish manufacturer who recently announced the new release of its 3D printer Pirx One. In addition to its unique look, the new printer has great potential by way of the quality of the output, as it can print high-resolution details and high quality imaging output. In additive manufacturing, there are different technologies applied in 3D printers. The Pirx One is using the fused deposition modeling technique, where the plastic filament is added using the printer head for thin layers to form the whole model. Unlike many of printers, the Pirx One’s head is placed in a[…]

carbon fiber 3d printing

MarkForged is a US based startup that is taking the 3D printing industry to a new level with its Mark One, the first printer that allows carbon fiber 3D printing using the additive manufacturing technology (What Are the Types of 3D Printing Technologies?). But Will it make the desired change? Until today, the 3D printing was limited to rapid prototyping due to the obstacles that prevent taking it to the mass production stage. While there are different 3D printing technologies such as stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, laser sintering and material extrusion, each 3D printing technology face different level of barriers[…]

3D Printing Technologies

In a closer look to the 3D printing in action, we can  recognize different printing techniques that are used 3D printing.  While there are different 3D printing types, the base concept behind it are the same. Most of the 3D printers use the “Addictive Manufacturing” technique that depend on building objects by adding thin layers above each other. Different methods are used in adding these thin layers on top of each other and the 3D printed materials vary depending on different techniques. Subsequently, each type of the 3D printers are designed to follow specific printing method. The advantages and disadvantages[…]
