3D Printing

Sliced 3D Printing Digest from 1st Dec. 2016

This is Sliced, where we slice the recent news and 3D print them in your mind. This week we have: MMU’s new hub, Chinese Bullet train engineers, a 3D printed camera lens, Boeing’s new GE employee, and a 3D printed ear model.

新的MMU集线器3D打印生态燃料电池

欧洲地区发展基金已向曼彻斯特大都会大学(MMU)授予了200万美元,用于开发曼彻斯特燃料电池创新中心(MFCIC)。MFCIC的研究基于该大学现有和最近的工作,该公司使用了3D印刷石墨烯制作电池。该设施的目的是确保生产无碳和无排放的能源,因为它将与氢一起使用,而不是燃烧发动机来产生动力。

Chinese engineers use 3D printing to repair bullet train

在分努力修复子弹头列车,工程师gqing, China looked to 3D printing in order to print model parts. The 3D printed parts were used to facilitate future repairs. Understanding the train through its parts will help the engineers fix the Bullet train in the future as they can now fully conceptualize the inner workings of the train.

Nothing in reports suggests that 3D printing has been used for parts in service, and as the images from the article published by China Daily show an FFF machine was involved rather than an industrial process. However, we have previously seen 3D printing investigated for use in the rail network most recently with the news that Deutsche Bahn, the $40 billion German railway company, are hoping to c使用该技术的UT库存成本.

3D printed camera lens

French YouTuber Mathieu Stern has 3D printed a camera lens with surprisingly good results. Collaborating with a 3D printing bureau called Fabulous, Stern managed to inset his own glass lens into the 3D printed plastic housing. By doing so he managed to create a fully functioning camera lens.

虽然用该镜头拍摄的图像在边缘周围有一些失真,但图像的中心点很清晰。如下所示,镜头可以很好地适用于肖像。由于模型的边缘模糊和居中的焦点,这些肖像特别令人印象深刻。

我圣诞节想要的只是……耳朵吗?

苏格兰医院已经使用Artec 3D扫描仪来帮助孩子,Anya Storie,功能正常。这个孩子的耳朵欠发达,被称为微图像,这意味着她无法从右耳听到。但是,通过使用整形手术,Anya应该很快能够正常听到。然后,扫描将使皇家医院的小组生病儿童的团队能够打印出模型以协助他们的整形手术。

Anya is hoping to have her new ear by Christmas as her Mom says “我们期待圣诞节的完美耳朵。”If scanning is your thing, then be sure to阅读诺丁汉大学如何使用激光扫描仪to unearth secrets from a 17th Century building.

Roboze are recruiting

Italian 3D printing company Roboze are growing and plan to open a sales office in the U.S. Ahead of this the company are recruiting for a new management team, “which will operate directly in North America with the future establishment of a sales branch.” Contact the company directly for more information.

Finally, don’t forget that 3rd December is 3D printing day, be sure to check out what’s going on这里.
