Improving water quality with 3D printing
坎特伯雷大学Master of Engineering student, Benjamin Houlton, is currently developing a 3D printed water filter that can successfully remove trace metals from water streams and polluted waterways.
Similar to the索诺拉理工学院osmosis-reversing 3D printed water filters, this device will improve the quality of water in developing countries.
Houlton is using computer simulations of water flows through filters to establish the ideal structure for his filter. 3D printing technologies can then enable the production of water filters with more intricate structures, which is hard to obtain through traditional manufacturing methods.
“Further down the track the filters could be used in developing countries like Cambodia where there are high levels of arsenic in river water,” said Holton.
3D打印泳衣配件
Ciska Barnard, the swimwear designer for South-African based clothing brandBambshell, has used 3D printing to accessorize its swimwear collection for finalists of the南非小姐选美。
The swimwear collection, called Bare Beauty, inspired by natural skin tones, featured 3D printed flowers made fromSinterit’sTPU-based materialFlexa Black，使花平滑而柔软。
“时尚需要更灵活的解决方案。找到一种可靠，灵活的材料并不容易，这对于时装行业来说是完美的匹配，可以适合3D打印机。” Sinterit的联合创始人Konrad Glowacki说。雷电竞app下载

High-resolution 3D sensing
体内a China-based company specializing in communications technology revealed its Time of Flight (TOF) 3D Sensing Technology atMWC上海2018。这项技术确定了时间它需要脉冲灯返回传感器，并可以绘制最多三米的对象。
由于它有可能捕获三维细节，最多300,000个传感器点，因此Vivo的高级副总裁Alex Feng希望这项新技术能够打开面部，手势和运动识别，3D摄影和AR。
“[Vivo] continue to forge ahead and evolve towards the truly intelligent future by opening new ways for the AI to help the consumer,” said Alex Feng, Senior Vice President of Vivo.
“By combining TOF 3D Sensing Technology with AI, we will continue to explore new possibilities for a better future.”
3D材料的进步
总部位于纽约的3D打印机制造商Makerbot, has released a new filament, MakerBot Tough designed for 3D printing functional prototypes. This new material boasts twice the impact strength of ABS filaments and offers unique properties that reduce warping.
Chilean biotechnology company,Copper 3D从铜纳米颗粒（称为毛素）开发了抗菌3D打印材料，以抵抗由假体引起的截肢者内部的皮肤感染。
“我们开始制作一种新的聚合物，用于3D打印的新聚合物，具有国际专利的添加剂，其中包含铜纳米颗粒以及其他元素，在消除真菌，病毒和细菌方面极为有效，但对人类的浓度无害。”Copper3d的创新。
In related medical news,Renovis Surgical Technologies, a medical technology company based in Austin, has obtained 510(k) clearance from theU.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA) for its 3D printedTesera SA hyperlordotic ALIF interbody spinal fusion system。
HP通过3D打印来减少碳足迹
生命值has released its137页可持续影响报告,which credited additive manufacturing implementation as a major factor for in the reduction of its IT supply chain carbon footprint.
HP UK董事总经理乔治·布拉什（George Brasher）在昨天在伦敦举行的年度可持续发展峰会上发表讲话，他承认行业4.0对制造业的潜在环境影响。
“In the future what’s going to happen is you’ll design a product – instead of having a physical supply chain you’ll have a digital one, so you’ll ship ones and zeroes, and then that production will occur closer to the consumer, significantly reducing the impact on the environment.”
Exone’s realignment program
In other news, global 3D printing technologies provider,ExOne，已宣布global cost realignment program which aims to reduce expenses in the day-to-day operations of its operations, including all sites. Additionally, this program will analyze ExOne’s employment rate in an effort to manage and maximize its overall capital.
“With the essential goal of significantly improving our cash flows in 2019, we have conducted a review of our cost structure and working capital practices. We are evaluating each position and expense within our organization, with the desire to improve productivity,” stated S. Kent Rockwell, ExOne’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“我们做出了艰难的决定，消除了Exone内部的某些立场，一直以来，我们仍然专注于我们的研发目标和长期收入增长目标，这不会受到这些变化的影响，因为我们继续领导市场采用我们的粘合剂喷射技术。”
SketchFab launches 3D model marketplace
SketchFab, a global company providing online platforms for 3D content, has officially launched theSketchFab商店, following the release ofthe beta version earlier this year。
Sketchfab的联合创始人兼首席执行官Alban Denoyel说：“我们很高兴能在成功开放的Beta版后开设Sketchfab商店。”
“这家商店允许我们非常有才华的社区轻松地在单个平台上获利，而模型检查员则从3D模型购买中进行了猜测。我们不能感谢我们的早期采用者和卖家分享他们周到的反馈，并使官方商店尽可能强大！”
