#Titan Robotics announces new high-quality large-scale 3d printer called The Atlas May 21, 2015 By Simonalthough wee been seeing dozens of new 3d printers and material options in recent memory,
very few have been focused on relative size-particularly when it comes to 3d printing large-scale objects. While there are large 3d printers in existence,
many are made with lightweight and inefficient components that can take a serious toll on the print quality
if high-quality results are desired. However, The Atlas, a new 3d printer from Titan Robotics just might change that.
Founded by mechanical engineer Clay Guillory who calls himself mechanical engineer by day, and a mechanical engineer by night, Titan Robotics focuses on doing one thing and one thing very well:
designing large 3d printers that are designed to last a lifetime. Among other applications that Clay has used his 3d printing know-how towards include prosthetic hands
-which started as a request from a mother whose 8-year old boy was need in of a low-cost solution Titan Roboticsatlas 3d printer was named after the famous Greek god who was known for fighting alongside the Titans
and then later charged to bear the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. According to Clay, he strength of this Greek god is an accurate depiction of the strength
and size of this new 3d printer With over a year in development including real-world testing in various manufacturing facilities,
the Atlas has proven to be a highly-accurate 3d printer that is capable of printing large prototypes reliably over time.
which ultimately helps set the bar for other large scale 3d printers. Additionally, the scalable frame is comprised of welded
-whether through the single or double extruder options. e are excited to introduce such a high quality 3d printer,
said Founder and CEO Clay Guillory. e fully expect this printer to be a game changer in the 3d printing industry. hile the Atlas may share many of the same attributes of a well-built desktop 3d printer,
its unique size opens an entire plethora of possibilities that no desktop 3d printer can replicate in a single print session.

While lives are already being saved by high-level 3d printing in academic hospitals all over the world, most of these cases involve 3d printed implants
Doubtlessly, the real 3d printing revolution in the medical world is yet to come: bio 3d printing.
Involving special bio-inks made from biocompatible polymers and cells, these could be used for 3d printing just about everything in the human body, from cartilage, to bone structures and theoretically even entire new organs.
And now a Swedish start-up called CELLINK has developed a bioink that could make this medical revolution happen as soon as possible.
The commonly used and much slower method involves 3d printing bioink and another polymer like material together slowly,
And that is exactly why Anthromod completely relies on 3d printing technology. his reads right about 10 channels of the brain,
All the while, 3d printing technology is key in keeping the costs as low as possible while keeping all design options open. o 3d printing allows you to create something that's humanlike,
something that's extremely customized, again for a very low cost, which for certain applications such as prosthetics, is a really big part of it,
we want someone that has a 3d printer, or very little printing experience, to be able to replicate this,
and 3d printing techniques to revolutionize this industry and provide fitting, comfortable shoes for everyone. But 3d design of square parts is difficult enough, let alone for the complex shapes of our feet.
but are more comfortable than ever thanks to 3d printing technology. They are made to fit your foot size,
And thanks to 3d printing technology, these custom shoes can be made cheaper than ever before somewhere in the range of a few hundred RMBS (or around $50.
It just another example that proves that 3d printing isn just about toys and fun but also about lives and the quality of life everywhere i

a new ink for 3d printing of biocompatible-tough hydrogel, explains Zhao. ach material individually is very weak and brittle,
but the demonstration that one can achieve similar mechanical performance with a common biomedical polymer is a substantial advance iit is also quite exciting that these new tough gels can be used for 3d printing,

#Formfutura unveils Easywood Olive and Ebony, two new wood-like 3d printer filaments Jun 9, 2015 By Alecwith an internet full of 3d printable designs,

#MASSIVIT 3d shows off GDP Gel Dispensing 3d printing technology by printing a Strati car Jun 26, 2015 By Alecgenerally speaking,
3d printers come in all shapes and sizes, though some stand out more than others. After all, not all 3d printers are large enough to build gigantic cement structures,
but most that are are unique experimental models not yet ready for marketing. However, one Israeli startup called MASSIVIT is working hard on a 3d printer that could bring large scale 3d printing to the massive.
And as their name suggests, their machine is truly huge. With a build space of. 5m x 1. 2m x 1. 8m (or 4ft x 5ft x 6ft
Envisioning a wide variety of applications, the Israeli developers have emphasized just its potential by 3d printing an entire car body in a single piece.
but has been founded by a group of industry veterans with years and years of experience in the 3d printing industry.
what they call the largest, fastest and most advanced large format 3d printing solution. And that claim is not just an ambitious statement,
as the Israeli engineers have developed actually a unique 3d printing technology. Called GDP 3d printing (short for Gel Dispensing Printing), they believe their upcoming 3d printers are capable of igniting a market explosion in the 3d printing industry and beyond it.
And by the face of it, that could really happen. t the heart of the GDP process is Massivit unique printing gel & smart support.
It may seem like the technology is the same as used in other filament-based 3d printing systems
functioning as a Cartesian 3d printer, it just combines the advantages of resin 3d printing with FDM techniques.
This allows them to acquire a delicate balance between movement speed, curing, and the material properties of their ilament ll of these together enable the printing of relatively thick layers with linear movement of the dispensing
It opens the way to 3d printing much larger objects, from machine casings, to furniture and much more.
The material at the center of this new approach to 3d printing is MASSIVEIT gel, a UV sensitive polymer. he material is nonflammable,
and has good structural strength similar to ABS materials commonly used in 3d printing. The relatively low fluidity parameters of the gel create high advantages
This obviously opens the way to some serious large scale 3d printing as the Israeli engineers emphasize by 3d printing the body of a car.
As reported in Israeli media, they 3d printed the body of a Strati car by Local Motors, with a bit of help from design specialists from Autodesk.

This time, a team of scientists from the University of Nottingham show off an amazing 3d printing achievement.
while 3d printing could be used to 3d print it in huge complex scaffolding structures. What more, the body temperature environment needed to manufacture this material means that production costs remain relatively low.
They will subsequently use 3d printing technology to create artificial meninges structures. Upon implantation the brain blood vessels crawl into the structures.
