Top 5 videos of the week: 3D-printed spines, candy, & more!
Our top 5 videos of the week showcase the week’s most interesting videos in relation to 3D-printing. We endeavour to find the most exciting, ambitious, or interesting updates, to summarise for you every week. So enjoy our list for this week, and don’t forget that we have a host of other articles that explain in more depth, many of the developing 3D technologies emerging today.
1 – Nottingham Trent University 3D print replica human spines
This interesting video by a student at Nottingham Trent University is about using 3D printers to try and recreate structures as similar to real bone as possible. This has been achieved to a high standard as shown in the video, and will help students practice before they use these skills on real patients. 3D-printed spines will therefore increase surgeon skills, and reduce unnecessary medical deaths.
2 – Modern Meadow launch “Zoa” bio-fabricated leather
If you’re passionate about the environment, you’ll love this video. Modern Meadow are a start-up who have launched a collection of bio-fabricated leathers. Their message is clear: these leathers do not involve killing animals or the resulting pollution. This is therefore a huge step in the right direction for the preservation of our planet, via 3D-printing.
3 – Rolls Royce use 3D printing within their manufacturing
Rolls Royce symbolise luxury. They are innovating constantly to keep up the highest standards of comfort, luxury, and experience in their vehicles. This is where 3D-printing can help. One of Rolls Royce’s technicians explains how they are using 3D printing, what is does, and how it applies to them in innovation.
4 – Doug Bucci dyes his 3D printed necklace collection
Doug Bucci is an artist who creates 3D-printed necklaces. This video shoes him dying the necklaces to represent life vs death, and the process in which he does it. These large 3D-printed necklace structures are a testament to how intricately you can print patterns, and make them into these beautiful designs.
5 – 3D printing your face as a candy
If you’ve ever wanted to eat your face, for whatever reason, now you can. As shown by Magic Candy Factory, it is possible to 3D print your own customised structures, and then eat them afterwards! This is a great way to get young children involved with technology and 3D printing too.
