You can make functional prototypes much more economically by using 3D printed injection molds. One of the most dramatic impacts of 3D printing on design and manufacturing is with injection molding. Companies such as Seuffer, Unilever, Arad Group and Whale report significant savings in molding costs and production time by 3D printing injection molds to test designs before mass production and produce small quantities of custom parts.

Art and design have certainly benefited from the 3D printing world and its liberating capabilities. Artists with 3D printers have been producing some unique geometries, seemingly “impossible” shapes, and unprecedented combinations of color and materials for many years. The release of the new Stratasys J750 multicolor3D printer has opened up even more new doors in the artistic worlds.  In this blog article we will showcase the work of one ground-breaking 3D artist named Jose Sanchez. “Polyomino” is [...]

The 32nd annual Space Symposium was recently held at the historic Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. New capabilities and markets are opening in the commercial space and there is renewed focus in the civil market – driving science and exploration to new heights. To achieve these lofty aims, there are new technologies being brought to bear – decreasing cost and increasing utility in the industry. 3D printing is one of the technologies supporting this period of [...]

The Objet Connex 3 by Stratasys is a renowned series of machines in the 3D printing industry. The Connex 3 first entered the market in 2014, functioning through PolyJet technology. Its release was monumental as it was the first 3D platform to offer multi-material, multi-color 3D printing. Since then, it has evolved into an industry standard, operating at an elite level of performance that designers and engineers around the world depend on. The Connex 3 [...]

Liquid Silicone Rubber is a broadly used non-reactive compound. Its high resistance to extreme environments and temperatures make it a perfect seal material for aerospace, defense, and automotive components, but it is also used in sporting goods, medical devices, and consumer products. Unlike traditional thermoplastics which are melted before injection molding, LSR starts as a liquid which then cures into a solid after injected into a heated mold. It has a lower viscosity, which allows [...]

partial repost from http://www.usnews.com Fashion, movies and athletic footwear companies are among the latest users of 3D printing. Boston has a storied tradition of textile manufacturing, and, in more recent history, a tech scene. In its current exhibition, #techstyle, the city's Museum of Fine Arts looks to the future and at how some designers have interwoven fashion with technology. This 3D dress and cape is part of the #techstyle exhibit at Boston's Museum of [...]

Stratasys has once again transformed the impact of 3D printing on product development and delivery with the new Stratasys J750 3D printer. This new solution enables customers — for the first time — to mix-and-match full-color gradients alongside a wide range of materials to achieve one-stop realism without post-processing. This, together with the system’s superior versatility, makes the J750 the ultimate 3D printing solution for product designers, engineers and manufacturers, as well as service bureaus. [...]
