  • Elegoo Previews Jupiter 2: High-Resolution Resin 3D Printer with Innovative Features « Fabbaloo

    1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

    We had a peek at a new 3D printer from Elegoo, the Jupiter 2. No, it’s not the famed spaceship from the 1960s TV show; it’s an advanced desktop resin 3D printer.

  • Rapid Liquid Print's Levity: A Production-Scale 3D Printer for Soft Silicone Parts « Fabbaloo

    1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

    Rapid Liquid Print has made some big steps since we last saw them in 2023. The company has developed a highly unusual 3D printing technique that is able to successfully produce incredibly soft objects. Their concept is actually quite straightforward: extrude silicone with a long syringe into a tub of hydrogel, which you can see at the top. The hydrogel acts as support material for the soft silicone, and full 3D objects can be easily produced.

  • Print-on-Demand Beta on Thangs Marks Key Milestone in Shapeways’ Relaunch Strategy « Fabbaloo

    1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

    The resurrection of Shapeways continues with a new development. The company had gone bankrupt some months ago, but its assets were purchased by the original founders and restarted. Unfortunately, not all of the assets were recoverable, specifically the online marketplace. Rather than rebuilding it from scratch, the new Shapeways made the strategic move of acquiring Thangs, a popular online 3D model repository. From there, they would build out the functions provided by the original marketplace.

  • Voxel-Based Simulation from Helio Additive to be Integrated in OrcaSlicer « Fabbaloo

    1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

    Helio Additive is deploying an amazing solution that most FFF 3D printer operators will be quite interested in using. The company produces Dragon, an advanced slicing system that is unlike anything you’ve seen elsewhere. It uses a voxel-based approach: each voxel of the print job is mechanically and thermally simulated to understand the optimal extrusion parameters and toolpath. In other words, it can figure out a perfect print job.

  • Oregon State Researchers Develop New Algorithms to Advance Multi-Axis 3D Printing « Fabbaloo

    1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

    I spoke to researchers from Oregon State University, who have been doing some interesting work on 3D print slicing algorithms. The University’s Design Engineering Lab has been considering ways to improve the toolpaths for FFF 3D printing. Most of today’s slicing software generates toolpaths that work, but are almost always less than optimal. You can see this yourself by simply watching an FFF 3D printer’s toolhead. Why is it moving over there, when it could be faster if it went here instead?
