Eliminating the need for .stls?

开始这个以研究为重点的月是一个GE赞助的竞争挑战团队设计a novel3D printed metal heat sink有效地冷却电子产品,这是我们本月最受欢迎的文章。五个决赛入围者包括来自Arizona State University,,,,普渡大学, 这马里兰大学,,,,宾夕法尼亚州立大学,,,,and都柏林三一学院

Another one of our most-read articles in August centered on a research project from theUniversity of Hamburg。那里的研究人员提出了一种切片3D打印对象的新型方法,以创建更光滑的结果。通过3D打印非平面层,这种切片方法可以去除stair-stepping effect typical to FDM surfaces

Researchers at theMassachusetts Institute of Technologyalso developed a system to设计和3D打印复杂的执行器。该系统由用于设计合成和多物质的多目标拓扑优化软件drop-on-demand 3D printing用于制造机器人执行器。

Two research projects that were announced in August also focused on exploring alternatives to .stls in 3D printing. A team of researchers from the弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学(Virginia Tech) developed a3D printer capable of creating objects using crowdsourced data, 作为。。而被知道Source Form。The 3D printer is able to create a 3D model by stitching together database images through photogrammetry, eliminating the need for .stls.

和约瑟夫·科丁顿(Joseph Coddington),一名硕士学生Victoria University of Wellington,进行了一个研究项目以建立voxel 3D printing as a new means of film capture。Coddington’s goals with this experiment could present a valuable alternative to the .stl file.

消费产品中的3D技术

在与消费产品相关的新闻中与美国领先的自行车制造商签署了3D印刷产品合作伙伴关系Specialized在八月3D printed bike saddle。This partnership marked the beginning of the ‘Crafted by Carbon’ imprint, which catalogues all of adidas’ consumer applications and collaborations under one brand name, like its 3D printed midsoles with adidas.

Samsungalso unveiled itsGalaxy Note 10line of premium smartphones. One of the models came equipped with 3D scanning capabilities, allowing users to scan objects for instant 3D rendering.

3D printer releases in time for TCT Show 2019

本月流行的3D打印机新闻来自3D打印机制造商Electronic Alchemy,,,,which developed a system capable ofadditive manufacturing fully functional electronics。名为Eforge,NASA打算在行星空间任务期间使用该系统来按需3D打印化学传感器。

Airwolf 3D,,,,a California-based 3D printer manufacturer, also announced the release of its latest 3D printer, theEVO R。该公司的EVO系列增材制造系统是一个新的,Evo R被设计为较小且负担得起的替代品雷电竞充值EVOandEVO 22

最后,Stratasys子公司MakerBotlaunched itsMETHOD X启动标准后不到12个月桌面3D打印机方法系统。3D Printing Industry spoke with Nadav Goshen, President and CEO of MakerBot, to learn more about the system: “We planned METHOD X in parallel to provide a more industrial-grade machine to manufacturing professionals,” comments Goshen.

“我们认为方法和方法X都在市场上占有一席之地。”
