Top 1: Kilometro Rosso and Polimarche Racing on 3D Printing for Formula SAE

Once again, 3D printed parts have been incorporated into race cars, this time through a partnership between the Italian organization Kilometro Rosso and Polimarche Racing. Watch our exclusive interview to find out how 3D printing is revolutionizing the design of automotive components by opening the way to create lighter, stronger and optimized parts for superior performance. Giuseppe De Marco and Tiziano Bicchieri tell us how AM impacts the competitiveness of vehicles in Formula SAE.

Top 2: The Epidemic of 3D Printed Ghost Guns in Australia

A ghost gun is a gun that was manufactured without being registered. So when people print their own guns, they’re creating ghost guns. These weapons, although often resembling toys with their bright, colorful plastic, are lethal weapons that are illegal in Australia. This newscast offers a deep dive into how these ghost guns are made and how authorities are dealing with them.

Top 3: SLA and SLS Technology for Automotive Production

Brose is one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world, doing about €7.9 billion in turnover. In fact, one in three new vehicles coming off the assembly line today has at least one component manufactured by Brose. One way that the company ensures quality and efficiency is by leveraging additive manufacturing technology. Brose uses the Fuse Series SLS 3D printer for end-use automotive production and the Form 4L large-format SLA 3D printer for manufacturing aids and more. Check out this video from Formlabs to learn about their process:

Top 4: 3D Printed Model of When the Lusitania Was Hit

3D printing can be leveraged as a fantastic medium for art, including creating representations of history like this model of the Lusitania. Watch as this Anycubic creator assembles an accurate version of the Lusitania ship. The project is further evidence of 3D printing’s potential for creating educational tools. What historical moment would you like to create with 3D printing?
