The 3D printing technology has grown three fold in recent years. Recently the discovery of world’s first 3D printed swimming prosthetic has been praised by all. Let’s go through the most recent news and discoveries in brief:
ProtoLabs use PolyJet 3D printing technology for its manufacturing process
ProtoLabs, a leading digital manufacturing company recently declared use of PolyJet 3D printing system for its manufacturing processes at this year’s Advanced Design & Manufacturing Expo in Cleveland, which runs from March 29-30. Through PolyJet it is possible to manufacture rigid and elastomeric materials in different colors and designs. The products manufactured through PolyJet 3D printing technology are extremely smooth and can have complex geometries. Now ProtoLabs uses 3D printing processes like stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and direct metal laser sintering.
A military veteran gets new 3D printed prosthetic that help him swim
33 year-old Dan Lasko, who lost his leg in combat in Afganistan has been provided with 3D printed prosthetic that can help him enjoy swimming with his family and friends.
