3D Printing

In the 20th century, the industrial revolution brought modern manufacturing to the world. In the years that followed, electricity and the assembly lines streamlined production, and a few decades later, automated machines began replacing humans on those assembly lines.

Bringing 3D printed realism to a broader range of product designers and enterprise shops, Stratasys has unveiled the new J826 3D Printer at 3DEXPERIENCE World. At about half the price of other J8-series PolyJet printers, the J826 combines part realism and productivity, including full PANTONE validated colour and multi-material 3D printing.

Over the last 20 years, automotive innovation has mostly focused on hardware. But more recently, the automotive industry has started to undergo a significant transformation, manufacturing electric and hybrid cars which are increasingly connected.

A new forecast from International Data Corporation (IDC) projects worldwide shipments of three-dimensional (3D) scanners will be more than 635 million units in 2023 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2% over the 2019-2023 forecast period. The total value of these shipments will be nearly $3.0 billion (€2.7 billion) in 2023 with a five-year CAGR of 15.8%.

SQ4D Inc. and its Autonomous Robotic Construction System (ARCS), claim to have built the largest permitted 3D printed home in the world. 

STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) subjects can impact every area of our lives and are crucial in preparing the next generation of a global workforce.

However, engagement in these subjects is still lagging, resulting in a widening skills gap. With this in mind, educators must create a spark and enthusiasm in these subjects, which can be achieved through 3D printing, according to Y Soft Corporation.
