#TOP5 Videos: 3D printed steak, autonomous bus…
We found the TOP 5 videos of the week about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is shaping and changing our society. This week we touch on 3D printed steak, autonomous 3D printed bus, Desktop Metal’s on-demand 3D printing process and much more! 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: Reinventing steak through 3D printing
At this week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nova Meat 3D printed a brand new kind of steak on its stand. It is made of rice protein, peas and seaweed fibre and is said to have the same texture as a traditional meat. The team cooked the printed steak in 3D and visitors could taste test it. Check out the video below to learn more!
Top 2: Parts on Demand
The U.S. Navy uses small desktop FDM 3D printers to create all kinds of everyday parts, tools and components. They started by creating door handles, they found the process quite easily, taking only 4 hours. Gradually, they realised that the process could go further, imagination being the only limit. Today, the 3D printers print in 3D the buttons of radios, vehicle parts, reticular structures of all kinds, etc. Find out more below!
Top 3: Olli arrives at the University of Sacramento
Do you remember Olli, this autonomous bus manufactured thanks to 3D technologies? This bus just arrived on the campus of the University of Sacramento in California! Several students were able to get into this intelligent vehicle designed using 3D printing. The small shuttle should be used to drop students off right and left on their campus and make their daily lives easier.
Top 4: A public 3D printing laboratory in South Africa
This is the first public additive manufacturing laboratory dedicated to health that has just opened in Cape Town. Created by a doctor, this centre should make it possible to manufacture all kinds of anatomical models in order to best prepare for the most delicate surgical operations. 3D medical printing could thus help to better train doctors, whatever their specialty, understand certain diseases to save lives.
Top 5: On-demand metal 3D printing with Desktop Metal
Innovative ‘fabricate’ software makes printing with Desktop Metal more accessible. Simple slider bars allow users to step through the stages of design and view their part’s components in 3D space. Check out the video below for an in-depth look at the Desktop Metal workflow from 3D model all the way to a finished part.
