Top 5 Video: 3D printing in motorsports
This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is changing production. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive – check our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!
Top 1: 3D printing for car racing
The Dutch racing team Van Amersfoort Racing participates in Formula 3 and 4 circuits and uses FDM 3D printing, especially on Ultimaker machines, to make carbon fibre tools. One of the missions of a motorsport engineer is to prepare a racer’s car on the track as quickly as possible, with the aim of gaining a few seconds on the competitor. By turning to 3D printing, Van Amersfoort Racing can imagine tools that are more adapted to its reality, to each car, all in a short period of time. This makes it possible to be more reactive and more agile.
Top 2: Let’s #TALK3D with Artyom Yukhin
Artec 3D is a global leader in 3D scanning technology, well-known in the industry for its Artec Eva and Artec Spider 3D scanners. In Luxembourg, where production is based, 3Dnatives sat down with Art Yukhin, CEO and Founder of Artec 3D to #Talk3D! He told us more about the beginnings of the company, what sectors use Artec 3D’s technology and what the future holds for this segment!
Top 3: New version of Creo
Creo is a CAD software that has just launched its new version, Creo 7.0. Developed by Parametric Technology Corporation, this modeling solution is particularly adapted to additive manufacturing. Indeed, it offers various functionalities that meet the requirements of 3D printing technologies such as the ability to create stochastic lattice structures. The video below shows you all the new features of version 7.0.
Top 4: 3D Printing in Medicine
The general growth of additive manufacturing in the medical sector could be explained by the opportunities in terms of customisation. It can create prostheses, implants, be used as preparation of surgical operation or for the manufacture of medical devices facilitating certain sensitive operations like surgical guides and other visual aids.
Top 5: 3D printing applications
3D printing applications are wide-ranging, from using the technology to promote hair growth, to creating chocolate, some of these are not what you would expect. IDTechEx Research presents some of the most elusive applications in the video below!
