Be it a limited collection of designer shoes or just a 3D printed midsole in mass-produced sneakers, additive manufacturing is steadily making its way deeper into the world of footwear production. Both big brands and smaller companies are opting for…

Arevo and Superstrata have just unveiled new 3D printed unibody bicycles, unique in both the design and properties. Last year, Arevo, a California-based additive manufacturing startup, built the first 3D printed carbon fiber unibody bike frame. The e-bikes were called…

By now we already know that one of the biggest advantages of 3D printing is that it allows almost limitless freedom of design. And who is enjoying it the most if not fashion designers? Finally having an opportunity to create…

As we know, the global pandemic caused by Covid-19 has mobilized the additive manufacturing community to seek rapid and efficient solutions to combat the virus. Today, a couple of months after the pandemic reached its peak, it is time to…

The development of 3D-printed robots is no longer a novelty. Previously, we wrote about different 3D printed robots, which have a wide range of applications. Recently, students from Georgia Tech (School for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology), Gennaro Notomista and…

3D construction printing (3DCP) refers to various technologies that use additive manufacturing as a core method to fabricate buildings or construction components. We have already written about several 3D printed bridges and the 3D printed floating house project. The most…

Balance bike is a training bicycle that helps children learn balance and steering. It has no foot pedals, no chain, no gear and no gear shifters. The first balance bicycle was built in 1817 by a German inventor; now it’s…

In the United States, the Cincinnati Botanical Garden and Zoo has partnered with GE Additive to use 3D printing on a project that could help certain animal species mimic wild behavior. Metal additive fabrication has played a key role in…

Environmental issues are becoming more and more unavoidable and the degradation of natural reefs is one of them. Natural reefs are vital for the well-being of our planet for they are one of the most varied ecosystems on Earth. However,…

Space travel and additive manufacturing are synonymous to innovation, and this time we are combining the two to take a closer look at the 3D printed SpaceX helmets. Elon Musk is well known for his inventions that seem to be straight…

In a future where electronics are predicted to be embedded in everyday objects, what kind of clothes will we wear? How will we socialize in our world when we are supervised by technology? These are the questions Dutch-based high-tech fashion…

3D printing technologies can bring art and cultural heritage closer to people. Through exact replicas, experiencing artwork, buildings and artefacts has become easier. These replicas can be modeled from 3D scanning data, and then produced using additive manufacturing technologies. People…
