Get ready, because the change of seasons is almost upon us once again. As the air gets chillier and the leaves change colors, we can feel the magic of fall all around us. The smell of fall spices fills the breeze, and farms start harvesting pumpkins and potatoes, getting ready for the upcoming fall holidays. And as the sun sets and the night sky fills with a warm glow, there is something incredible that awaits us. No, it’s not a jack-o-lantern or a rising full moon. It’s the top five videos of the week! And this week, get ready to be amazed by the world of 3D printing.
In this video from Prusa, we dive into the world of locomotive upkeep. Additive manufacturing specialists at the Danish Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems take us through their process of 3D printing new, more durable, and flame-retardant parts. These parts are used to replace broken or discontinued ones that are otherwise impossible to find. Aging trains around the world face the same problem of obsolete parts, but thanks to 3D printing, rail companies now have the perfect solution. They can design and print replacements that are sometimes even better than the original parts. Watch the video below to learn more!
Next up, we have a video from Formlabs, where we explore the use of 3D printing in the medical field. Restor3D, a medical equipment supplier, shares their philosophy of using 3D printing to create custom-made solutions for medical patients. Traditional medicine often relies on a one-size-fits-all approach, but 3D printing allows for personalized implants, prosthetics, surgical tools, and cutting guides. This individualized approach leads to better patient outcomes and faster healing. Don’t just take my word for it, watch the video and hear what the experts have to say!
Now, let’s switch gears and talk about the fashion industry. In a video clip from NBC News, we learn about the immense waste generated by the fashion industry. Surprisingly, it is the third largest polluter in the world. Garrett Gerson, Founder and CEO of Variant 3D, has a revolutionary solution to this problem. Gerson envisions a zero-waste clothing economy where sustainable and recycled materials are used to create custom-made clothes. Imagine designing your own garments at home, perfectly tailored to your body shape and size, and then printing them with a local 3D clothing printer. This is not just about mass-producing clothes; it’s about providing clothes for individuals. Watch the video to hear Gerson’s inspiring vision!
Last but not least, let’s take a look at the EVO 2X printer from Airwolf 3D. This printer showcases a unique feature called the restore function. Have you ever started a print, gone to bed, and woken up to find out that something went wrong? The printer ran out of filament or the nozzle jammed. It’s a frustrating experience. But fear not, because the EVO printer can self-correct and continue the print seamlessly. The restore function detects where it left off and picks up from there, as if nothing ever happened. Check out the video to see this incredible feature in action!
So, there you have it – a glimpse into the fascinating world of 3D printing. From revolutionizing locomotive maintenance to personalized medical solutions, sustainable fashion, and printer features that save us from heartache, 3D printing is making its mark in various industries. Watch these videos and prepare to be amazed by the innovations and possibilities that lie ahead.
In our latest video, we delve into the fascinating world of sustainable construction as we follow Jarett Gross, who is capturing the progress of an intriguing project led by the brilliant Berkley Professor Ronald Rael and innovative 3D construction company, Muddy Robots. This diverse team is utilizing cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create a remarkable structure using locally sourced adobe material, employing the same techniques used in concrete 3D printing, but without the detrimental environmental impact caused by concrete production.
Professor Rael’s groundbreaking philosophy takes us back thousands of years, as he seeks to find zero-waste, zero-emission solutions to meet our modern-day demands. By harnessing the power of local resources and combining it with the latest advancements in 3D printing, this project exemplifies the potential for sustainable construction practices that honor our planet.
Join Jarett as he engages in insightful interviews, capturing the innovative ideas behind this project as well as documenting the awe-inspiring transformation of this structure. Witness the structure taking shape before your very eyes, unveiling a breathtaking fusion of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology.
