A company called Invetech has created what looks to be a human tissue printer that works in a similar way to how 3D printers work. The system is capable of building up human organs cell by cell to create scaffolds that liver cells could be placed on. Regular 3D printers use plastic that is built up [...] The AICT 3D printer works with 3D data files in VRML or STL (stereolithograph) format. These files can be created with popular commercial programs like AutoCAD or Rhino3D, or with free, open-source software like Blender or Wings 3D. (AICT’s resident 3D printing technician and visualization specialist Chris Want is a volunteer developer on the Blender [...] As biologists are busy working on cloning living organisms, engineers are working on a mechanical counterpart – creating non-living things that can replicate themselves. Recently, more than 100 researchers from around the world have been working on a project called RepRap (Replicating Rapid-prototyper), which started in 2004. At the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK, the [...] Products should have a minimal wall thickness of 1mm Take care when scaling models that the wall thickness is not reduced to below 1mm The propeller blade-span is over 10 feet in this project that demonstrates how far 3D modeling has advanced. MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 2, 2009 — At Autodesk University 2009, Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS) and Autodesk unveiled the world’s first full-scale turbo-prop aircraft engine model. It was produced using Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology. The engine’s design was created using [...] |
