However, there are many more materials that don’t print on the majority of 3D Printers, due to their physical properties. However, one company, by the name of Structur3D Printing, hopes to change this. They plan on doing this by launching a new product called the Discov3ry. It is an extruder add-on that allows most FDM 3D printers, including MakerBots, Ultimakers, RepRaps and other DIY printers to print in a multitude of previously unthought of materials. It should work with any stepper motor based desktop 3D printer system. 3D Printing Request - 3D printing - LibGuides at Oregon State University. What kind of printer does the library use?

It is officially Mathematics Awareness Month, the perfect time to highlight what is making math more accessible and more real for students. 3D printers are definitely evolving into a essential tool for mastering mathematics in the 21st Century.

In honor of the month, we are taking the opportunity to find out why. When I think of 3D printers, I am instantly taken back to the days of George Jetson, imagine pressing a button and opening a magic door to exactly what I had asked for. Honestly, the 3D printing technology seems frighteningly close to that futuristic memory, but, the truth is, there is HUGE potential for 3D printing to impact math education in a variety of ways. The Process. The idea of how 3D printing works is a math lesson in itself. Design Thinking Workshop for Kids. How to 3D print what you build in Minecraft … TUTORIAL WITH VIDEO! Of all the 3D design apps I plan to blog about, Printcraft is easily the most exciting: it is the ONE design tool I *KNOW* a majority of my students can use immediately and masterfully.

It’s only fitting that it’s the first one I profile here. So, NCS students, listen up! What is Printcraft?

Traditionally, 3-D scanning has required expensive laser scanner equipment, complicated software, and technological expertise.

But MIT spinout Viztu Technologies helped change that: Back in 2011, Viztu released software, free online, that essentially replaced expensive scanning hardware with personal cameras. Rapid Prototyping System Mixes 3D-Printing And LEGO [Pics. FaBrickation is a research project by the Human-Computer Interaction group at the Hasso Plattner Institut in Germany.

The fast prototyping system aims to save 3D printing time by replacing smaller parts with Lego bricks. This method results in hybrid forms that combine 3D-printed and Lego parts. 2D Design to 3D Print Creator. Use grayscale to define detail thickness: If checked, the image uses black as the maximum thickness for the object (as defined by slider), and the various shades of grey as a lesser percentage of max thickness.

What Is 4-D Printing? [Video] The biggest breakthroughs in how we make things lie not in the technology to manipulate materials but in the materials themselves.

Such is the thinking behind “4-D printing,” an experimental approach to manufacturing that expands on much-hyped 3-D printing processes. Instead of building static three-dimensional items from layers of plastics or metals, 4-D printing employs dynamic materials that continue to evolve in response to their environment. Make Sense of 3D Objects. Today 3D Systems announced their latest product, the Sense 3D Scanner. Keith Ozar from 3D Systems described the new hand-held 3D scanner as “physical photography.”

The Sense can easily scan objects as large as 10′x 10′x 10′ or high resolution scans as close as 20″ away. Best of all the entire system costs $399 and will be in hundreds of Staples stores starting on November 18, 2013.
