An example of how 3D printing can be included in the design process is automotive design. [19] There, it is necessary to quickly test and verify a prototype to get the design approved for production. The reduced post-processing steps induced by the multi-material 3D printing technology result in a shorter fabrication time.
Close-up of the surface of a lenticular print. Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses (a technology also used for 3D displays) are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
Cults was founded in 2014 and is the first fully independent 3D printing marketplace. [1]In 2015, La Poste established a partnership with Cults and 3D Slash to develop impression3d.laposte.fr, a digital manufacturing service, allowing users to have objects printed and shipped to them on demand.
The MK3 was named FFF 3D printer of the year for 2019 by 3D Printing Industry. [57] Průša was again featured on the cover of the Czech edition of Forbes in 2019 for his leadership at the now billion-koruna company. [58] All3DP named the MK3 the Best 3D Printer of 2018, and the MK3S the Best 3D Printer of 2020. [59] [60]
M3D, LLC is an American manufacturer of 3D printers in Fulton, Maryland. [1] The company's flagship product is the "Micro 3D" or "Micro". The company was founded by David Jones and Michael Armani, natives of Maryland and both graduates of the University of Maryland, College Park. [1]
A 3D selfie in 1:20 scale printed by Shapeways using gypsum-based printing, created by Madurodam miniature park from 2D pictures taken at its Fantasitron photo booth. In the original implementations, starch and gypsum plaster fill the powder bed, the liquid "binder" being mostly water to activate the plaster.
A slicer is a toolpath generation software used in 3D printing. It facilitates the conversion of a 3D object model to specific instructions for the printer. The slicer converts a model in STL (stereolithography) format into printer commands in G-code format. This is particularly usable in fused filament fabrication and other related 3D printing ...
