3D Printing In The News

Here are a few interesting posts related to the world of 3D printing:

Venture Beat posted an interesting post about 3D printing as related to the future of manufacturing.  Be sure to scroll down to see the infographic which really explains how 3D printing works and what the advantages are.

HLNtv posted an article on 3D printing as "The Trend of the Year" and includes a great video that explains how 3D printing (Fused Deposition Modeling) and the Makerbot 3D printer works. It also names seven examples of new developments in 3D printing technology and the range of potential for its use.

Extreme Tech posted an article about the advances of 3D printing with metal and its uses in "additive manufacturing" today.  Check out the three videos in the article:

  1. 3D printing with stainless powder.
  2. Laser Metal Deposition (LDM) dispenses metal powder into a stream melted by a laser.
  3. Shapeways metal printing process with some examples of some models made by the model makers in the Shapeways community. 
Enjoy!
