Sculpteo 3D printing blog

If you want to know what can be done with 3D printing, I recommend you to visit the 3D gallery of an user called “RLBAGULATFTN”. Here is his introduction: “Old guy who uses Mathematica: started 3d on a Radio Shack color computer in basic about 1979. ...

The machine is made entirely from LEGO (except the drill). It uses a 3D Mesh from AutoDesk Softimage and drill into a Floral Foam This model was developed by Arthur Sacek for ZOOM Education for Life. It shows that subtractive manufacturing can be coo...

This 40 second video shows a self assembling physical virus model, which is produced on a 3D printer. Shaking the components in a bottle produces a complete spherical viral capsid. This video shot in real time with no tricks shows the process of self...

According to Wired Danger Room “the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) announced on Monday that they’d like to buy a 3D printer. Specifically, they want to get their hands on a Stratasys Dimension BST1200es series 3D printer” This 3D Pr...

Surgeon Anthony Atala demonstrates an early-stage experiment that could someday solve the organ-donor problem: a 3D printer that uses living cells to output a transplantable kidney 7:24 – This is actually a desktop inkjet printer, but instead of usin...

What we call “3D Printing” includes different fabrication methods. It would be more accurate to call it “Additive Manufacturing”. Only one technology works like printing and worth to be called 3D Printing: it’s 3DP. – Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SL...

Last week I wrote about this new file format that is set to replace the old STL format. Our developpement team has done a great job because today I can announce that Sculpteo now support the AMF format (see all the file formats supported) Here’s the ...

Fortus 250mc is the most affordable of all Fortus systems. Insight software, used to drive the Fortus line of production 3D printers, allows users to control the look, strength and precision of parts: “The engineers interested in this new product wil...

The new printing process uses vapors, not liquids, and temperatures less than 120 degrees Celsius. These “gentle” conditions make it possible to use ordinary untreated paper, cloth or plastic as the substrate on which the solar cells can be printed. ...
