Top 5 Videos: From Injection Molds to 3D Printed Homes
Check out the Top 5 Videos of the Month! We start with Formlabs showing you how to create durable, low-volume 3D printed injection molds efficiently. Next, 3Dnatives breaks down different 3D printer motion systems, helping you understand Cartesian, CoreXY, Delta, and Polar designs so you can optimize your prints. Then, the Commercial Project takes you inside Genesis, Australia’s first 3D printed house, highlighting speed, sustainability, and architectural innovation. In the fourth video, TEDx Talks explores the future of stop-motion animation with Brian McLean, showing how 3D printing is revolutionizing the art form. Finally, CBS Mornings introduces James Robert, an LSU grad using 3D printing to create adaptive devices that improve the lives of children with disabilities. Dive in and get inspired!
Top 1: How to 3D Print Injection Molds: Best Practices for Mold Preparation
Formlabs’ video How to 3D Print Injection Molds: Best Practices for Mold Preparation explores how SLA 3D printing can transform traditional mold-making. By using Rigid 10K Resin, the tutorial demonstrates how to produce durable, low-volume injection molds in just hours, offering you a faster and more cost-effective alternative to conventional methods. You’ll also learn preparation tips and techniques that help you achieve consistent, high-quality molds every time.

Top 3: Inside Australia’s First 3D Printed House
In Inside Australia’s First 3D Printed House, The Commercial Project takes you inside Genesis, the first 3D printed home in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere. You’ll see how this innovative house combines speed, sustainability, and customization to redefine residential architecture. From sweeping curves and unique wall textures to faster build times and improved environmental efficiency, the project shows you the full potential of 3D concrete printing in modern construction.
Top 4: The Future of Stop-Motion Animation
In The Future of Stop-Motion Animation, TEDx Talks with the University of Oregon brings you into the world of stop-motion animation with Brian McLean of Laika. You’ll learn how 3D printing and innovative techniques are transforming the art form, creating new possibilities at the intersection of creativity and technology. This talk shows you how science and artistry come together to push the boundaries of animated storytelling.
Top 5: LSU Grad Uses 3D Printing to Create Adaptive Technology for Children
In LSU Grad Uses 3D Printing to Create Adaptive Technology for Children, CBS Mornings introduces you to James Robert, a Baton Rouge innovator breaking barriers in prosthetic technology. Born without fingers on his left hand, he now leads projects at Make Good NOLA, using 3D printing to create adaptive devices that improve the lives of children and others with disabilities. You’ll see how his work combines personal experience, creativity, and technology to make a real-world impact.
