Top 3: 3D Printed Parts in Special and Emergency Vehicles
MOSOLF Special Vehicles GmbH is a German company that produces over 1,000 special and emergency vehicles every year. Each of these vehicles has at least three 3D printed components, meaning MOSOLF creates over 5,000 3D printed parts annually. The company uses Formlabs’ Fuse 1+ 30W SLS 3D printer to create these custom parts, to meet their high demand for low-volume but highly customized components. Check out this video to see their work in action.
Top 4: The World’s First 3D Printed Hotel
Would you like the chance to live inside of a 3D printed building? Soon you’ll have the opportunity with El Cosmico, the world’s first 3D printed hotel being built in the Texas desert. The buildings are created using 3D concrete printing (3DCP), and the plan is to build 43 hotel units and 18 residential homes. Take a tour of El Cosmico in the video below.
Top 5: Updated Aibuild Software for Large-Format Additive Manufacturing
Aibuild offers 3D printing software powered by artificial intelligence.
