PolyJet Polyropylene-like material (aka Endur) is now available from PartSnap® 3D Printing. This material adds to our PolyJet line and complements our FDM 3D printing materials. Polypropylene-like Material provides the high-resolution finish typical of PolyJet resin, but with increased flexibility to simulated polyethylene and polypropylene plastics. Flexible Prototypes: Spring-Mechanisms Reusable Snap-fit Enclosures: […]
Pictured below are 3D printed fossils of a new crocodyliform species called Paluxysuchus newmani. The original fossils were discovered by field crews from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and studied by research scientist Thomas Adams of SMU. The fossils were laser scanned and reconstructed in the Visualization Lab in […]
PolyJet VeroClear material is now available from PartSnap® 3D Printing. This material adds to our PolyJet line and complements our FDM 3D printing materials. VeroClear comes out of the printer with a clear-frosted finish but it can be worked and polished to be optically clear. Here is a picture of VeroClear as-printed and after […]
Featured is an incredible demonstration of 3D printing art scupltures. Neri Oxman, architect, designer and assistant professor at MIT Media Lab, creates digital sculptures melding nature with digital design and additive manufacturing technology. She uses Objet’s multi-material Connex 3D Printing to bring the designs to life. In collaboration with Objet Geometries R&D, she appears to have access […]
PartSnap is now offering a new finish: metal plated 3D printed parts with a VeroWhitePlus core. The metal plating is available with matte and polished finishes and, in addition to its aesthetic value, it also provides structural enhancements to the parts. RePliForm has developed an excellent multi-layed metal-plating technology that they call RePliKote. Take a look […]
3D Printed Octopod Underwater Salvage V Here’s a common question I receive at PartSnap: How much detail can be handled in a 3D printed scale model? When PolyJet is selected for prototyping and model-making, the answer is: a lot. The PolyJet process creates parts with layers 0.001″ or less! It builds parts layer by layer, handling […]
