Taken from 3D Print by Clare Scott To say that Macedonian fashion designerIrina Tosheva‘s work is eye-catching would be an understatement. She works in brilliant colors and bold prints, and several of her pieces appear to have been painted. Tosheva, who graduated from the Accademia Italiana in Florence, Italy, has had twelve fashion shows to her name, and a recent showcase of spring and summer trends for 2016 revealed that she’s not afraid to experiment with technology, particularly 3D printing. The fashion show, which took place in Prishtina, the capital of Kosovo, displayed Tosheva’s new Riza collection, a melding of modern design and...

Taken from Design News. Ann R. Thryft, Senior Technical Editor, Materials & Assembly A student engineering team from Poland's Warsaw University of Technology is using 3D-printed plastic parts in its Mars rover designs. The rovers are entered in an annual Mars rover student challenge, and the parts are built on a desktop 3D printer.     The Warsaw University of Technology's Students' Space Association designed and built its Ares 2 Mars rover using 3D printing, which helped reduce its weight for entry in the Mars Society's 2015 University Rover Challenge contest. The students' rover placed 8th. (Source: Students' Space Association/Warsaw...

Taken from Phys.org Scientists from Massey University have developed a simple 3D scanning and printing method that will help students learn anatomy. 3D digital replicas of a cane toad skeleton and the tough cartilage from the head of a spiny dogfish were made using consumer-level scanners. The skeleton and cartilage replicas were printed using a selective laser sintering 3D printer. These test cases explain how high-quality replicas can be made more accessible and make a case for wider application of 3D printing in anatomy. Lead author Dr Daniel Thomas of Massey's Institute of Natural and Mathematical Sciences says the aim...

Mid-Day Cafe: The 3D Printing Revolution Zortrax and Profound3D Monday, April 24th, Tim and Frank from Profound3D appeared on the Malvern MTC's Mid-Day Cafe to discuss printing with the Zortrax M-200 in the Education space. Check out the appearance below.

Taken from TechRadar By Alastair Jennings Zortrax is quickly establishing itself as a 3D printer manufacturer to be reckoned with. The M200 printer started life as a Kickstarter campaign and rose to prominence when Dell ordered 5,000 units. Dell and many other backers of the campaign had obviously seen something in this startup that had piqued interest, and it only takes a short time with the M200 to realise why Zortrax has been set apart from many other 3D printer manufacturers that have appeared on Kickstarter.     The design bases itself around a movable X, Y direct feed print-head,...
