Low Cost Selective Laser Sintering: The Innovator's Dilemma in Powder?
Selective Laser Sintering is also called powder bed fusion and SLS. The SLS process sees a bed of polymer powder selectively sintered by a laser. A new layer is applied and this is then also hardened with unsintered powder acting as a support. Dominated by EOS Gmbh, SLS is probably the most high volume, high […]

Ricoh Turns to Stratasys 3D Printing for 2D Printer Production
Like many other producers of traditional office equipment, Ricoh has made clear its intentions to enter the 3D printing market. The reasons for doing so are clear; the demand for equipment like 2D printers and fax machines is stagnating, so these companies need to find another way to be competitive. 3D printing is the obvious next […]

How Close Are We to Full Color 3D Printing?
Full color 3D printing is the holy grail of 3D printing. To be able to 3D print an object in any color whatsoever with clear definition and no bleed would really make prototyping with 3D printing more valuable. If prototypes coming off the printer would look almost exactly like the final object, then the technology […]

Hermit Crabs Move into 3D Printed Homes for New Advertisement
Moving into a new home isn’t easy. While it may be exciting and a new beginning, almost no one really enjoys the process itself. It’s stressful and a lot of work to pack up everything you own and haul it into a new place. For a hermit crab, however, moving is easy, which is why […]

Stratasys 3D Printing Saves "Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars" in Development of First Electric Passenger Plane
They’re often referred to as “puddle-jumpers” – the small commuter aircraft that transport people to relatively nearby destinations a few hundred miles away, as opposed to the big jet airliners that travel across the country or to international locations. I’ve never particularly liked them, as they tend to be cramped, and every bit of turbulence […]
