New brain2print Tool Makes 3D Printing Your Brain Possible « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Want to 3D print your brain? You can!That is, if you happen to have an MRI machine handy, or access to the files that it produces. MRI machines are used to take 3D images of the inside of the human body. Typically, they’re used for diagnostic purposes, as doctors can see inside the body to identify anything off normal. I’ve always wondered if it would be possible to use that 3D information generated by the MRI machine to produce 3D printable models.
Stratasys Eyes Medical Applications with New Body Part 3D Printing Patent « Fabbaloo

A new patent from Stratasys hints at a new 3D print application: Body Part Printing.
3DQue Integrates AutoFarm3D with Bambu Lab Developer Mode for Scalable Farm Management « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

3DQue announced compatibility with Bambu Lab’s new “Developer Mode”. There’s a lot going on here, so let’s take this apart. Bambu Lab made a major change to their firmware recently, following up on announcements from several months ago. The software and network configuration as originally deployed by Bambu Lab allowed third-party applications to directly access and control the 3D printers.
Hands On With Part3D « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

I took a quick look at a new 3D CAD system, Part3D. Part3D is an iPad application, an unusual platform for a powerful CAD tool. Usually, CAD tools require hefty desktop environments to run, but that’s not the case here. The app is distributed on the Apple Store, and you can get started right away without a subscription or even identification.
PartCrafter Advances Image-to-3D Mesh Generation with Novel AI Approach « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

There’s yet another way to generate 3D meshes from 2D images: PartCrafter. The explosion of AI generative tools has taken hold in the 2D space, but is still working forward in the 3D space. There are several text-to-3D applications, but one that will also be required is “image-to-3D”. Image to 3D involves submitting a single 2D image of a subject to an AI. The AI would then recognize the image and generate a full 3D model for the subject, including the parts not shown in the 2D image.
Researchers Use Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing for On-Site Bridge Repairs « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

A new application for one form of 3D printing has been identified by researchers in Massachusetts. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and MIT Department of Engineering wanted to see whether a road bridge could be repaired in place. The project combines a technology with a growing need. The technology involved is called “cold spray” additive manufacturing. This process sprays metal particles at high speeds towards a metal target.
Formlabs Breaks New Ground with On-Demand Custom Color Resin « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Formlabs has broken the color barrier with their new Color Resin V5. The process of printing objects in specific colours with the resin process has been quite challenging for years. Resins have been marketed with colours selected by the manufacturer, which may not be the precise colour required by 3D printer operators. In many commercial scenarios, matching a specific colour is an absolute requirement for marketing purposes.
Etsy Policy Shift May Disrupt Makers and 3D Printing Services « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

A small but possibly impactful change in Etsy’s policies may affect the 3D print industry. Etsy is the well-known website for selling handcrafted items. Originally used for products literally made by hand, over time the introduction of inexpensive 3D printers has become widespread among Etsy vendors. Many vendors operate one or many desktop 3D printers to manufacture quantities of their products for sale on the platform.
Groundbreaking Shaking Table Tests Evaluate Seismic Performance of 3DCP Buildings « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Researchers are now earthquake-testing 3D-printed structures. The University of Bristol announced a project to perform a shaking table test for a 3D-printed concrete structured produced using 3DCP technology. Shaking tables are traditionally used to investigate the robustness of structures under earthquake conditions. Structures are subjected to vibrations of controlled frequencies, ranging from minor to violent.
Historic Figulo Ceramic 3D Printers Offered for Free « Fabbaloo

1 week ago | fabbaloo.com | Kerry Stevenson

Would you like to have your own set of industrial ceramic 3D printers? For free? That is actually possible with a special giveaway that’s taking place. We were contacted by Forrest Snyder, one of the original founders of Figulo. Hold on, what’s Figulo? It was an up-and-coming 3D print service that was, I believe, the first to offer 3D printed ceramic parts, way back in 2013. The company used zCorp polymer powder printers to print ceramics, except that they changed the materials used in the system.
