Ultimaker 3D Printers just did a fantastic webinar on 3D printing modular parts. This is a great webinar for those wanting to: combine off the shelf parts with 3d printer parts, heat inserting insert nuts into 3D printed parts and understanding the different ways to use & build component parts. Check out the link below….
What I find most amazing ( besides printing a car), is the actual finish of the 3D printed body. The Shelby Cobra is a famous sports car that was first built in 1962 by Carroll Shelby and his team using a ford motor. This version is build by an amazing team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. They built the auto in six weeks! Have a look here at this video of the project… Oak Ridge National Laboratory >
Researchers at Penn State have figured out a way to 3D print using a 5-axis system. The new concept would eliminate the need for supports, which are wasteful and time consuming to print. Supports also can leave small artifacts that require post finishing of a 3D print. Check out John Biggs full story here at Gizmodo >
