Featured Blog2Print Customer Story

Veteran photographer Chuck Boyd uses his blog to share 50 years of photos from combat photography to concert closeups. Chuck used Blog2Print to turn his 850+ posts into three printed volumes that—when they’re not proudly displayed on this coffee table—he can bring to local blogger meetups and share with his family. Read more of Chuck’s story on our blog.

I love the blog books because it gives me a tangible way to relive the memories that my family has created. Also, as my son is growing, it is fun showing him pictures of when he used to be a baby and reading the stories/captions that go along with them. I am surprised at how many little things my memory forgot that I am lucky enough to have captured with my blog book.

21 Use Cases for 3D Printing [Part 2]

3D printing is a manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital model file. The technology works by adding material layer by layer to create a complete object.

The 3D printing process was developed in the 1980s and was originally called "rapid prototyping". It allowed companies to develop prototypes faster and more accurately than other methods. After more than 30 years of innovation, its use is much more varied today. Businesses, engineers, designers, educators, healthcare professionals and hobbyists are using this technology for a variety of purposes.

This is the second part of the article, before reading we advise you to read the first part in our blog.

New developments in the space industry

The use of 3D printing reduces the cost of expensive and specific prototypes, tools and machines for space and allows small companies to innovate in the space industry.

Aerospace company Relativity is testing aluminum rocket motors using additive manufacturing. If successful, this development will drastically reduce the costs and practical difficulties of space travel, opening the space to new business.

Masten Space Systems is another company driving change in the aerospace industry: Founded in 2004, the company specializes in VTOL and VTOL rockets. Using 3D printers, Masten made plastic rocket motors for research testing.

Generative Design

Generative Design - Uses the power of artificial intelligence to develop new high-performance product design iterations that help solve complex problems, reduce component weight and manufacturing costs, expand customization options, and optimize performance.

Brackets and posts where forces are well defined are common parts for generative design.

3D printing is great for creating complex, organic objects. With a wide range of material properties tailored to specific applications, you can expect designs you've never seen before. Engineers can use artificial intelligence to find and test complex new designs quickly, efficiently, and at scale, dramatically reducing research and development time for new products. Then, using their own 3D printer, they can bring the complex shape to life to hold and test.

Improving the delivery of educational material

In addition to training the future workforce in CAD and 3D printing, universities are beginning to see the benefits of using 3D printers in a wide range of academic disciplines.

The University of Massachusetts Lowell has upgraded its sculpture and 3D design courses. Yuko Oda, who joined the university in 2017, started by ordering a lot of 3D printers.

Yuko has been able to bring her passion for art and technology into the classroom, and she currently teaches sculpture, 3D modeling and animation. Most students know that they need to understand 3D animation and 3D modeling for future careers in various fields, including film sculpture design. For artists, 3D modeling has become a necessary skill.

One of the most promising new advances in sculpture is the integration of 3D printing and virtual reality (VR). This is especially true for students who are intimidated by 3D design. VR is rapidly lowering the barriers to 3D design, allowing artists and students to create with their hands in software such as Oculus Medium. Yuko taught eighth graders how to create 3D objects in 30 minutes in VR and then print them out on a 3D printer. Even for experienced sculptors, VR shortens the time it takes to move from an idea to a physical object, potentially opening up new areas of experimental art.

Endangered bird rescue

When zookeepers at the ZooTampa Zoo in Florida were doing a routine checkup on a 25-year-old great hornbill, they found an injury at the base of the saddlecloth, a yellow, helmet-like growth on the top of the bird's head. Further examination revealed that the bird, named Crescent Moon, was suffering from life-threatening cancer.

Cancer located next to the bird's skull could not be removed because it contained part of the bird's sinuses. The zoo team wanted to know if it was possible to remove the cancerous tumor and replace the base of the bird's saddle with a 3D printed copy made especially for it. 3D printed prostheses and patient-specific devices have already been used in human procedures, but never for hornbills.

A successful 3D printed "reserve beak" was created using BioMed White Resin material. It is an opaque white material for biocompatible systems requiring long-term skin contact or short-term mucosal contact.

Spare parts and custom parts

One of the problems with custom-made parts is that these orders are usually made in low volumes and have to change depending on product updates by original manufacturers. But with the rise of private 3D printing, custom manufacturing has taken off in many industries.

Battle Beaver Customs specializes in custom game controllers. Their modifications make controllers more responsive and more competitive, allowing players to increase their gaming potential and achieve peak performance in various games. Rapid prototyping with a 3D printer allows the company to quickly change mount and button designs. When creating custom-made consumer goods, fast lead times can pay dividends for companies looking to stay ahead of their competitors. According to Michael Crunell, head of research and design at Battle Beaver Customs, "The Fuse 1 3D printer is great for making changes quickly, from concept to final part. Our competitors can't keep up."

Making interesting bath bombs

With 928 stores in 48 countries, Lush Cosmetics is known around the world for creating creative and eye-catching products such as body oils, bath bombs and more, and attributes its success to its ability to quickly respond to trends and customer demand.

To bring new, industry-defining, highly detailed beauty products to life, the company had to turn to 3D printing. They have invested in a next generation additive manufacturing center to create molds, tooling and final parts.

Lush Cosmetics produces vacuum molds using 3D printers.

"We use our 3D printers to create molds, tooling and final parts. Having these capabilities means we don't have to share designs with other companies as we own the entire product development process," says Damien Carter, Head of Innovation Lab at Lush Cosmetics.

Real mass customization

3D printing opens up new business opportunities such as mass customization. What used to be too complex, prohibitively expensive, or impractical to produce with traditional methods is now available at no extra cost with digital technology, giving designers full control and opening the door to fully customizable consumer products.

A good example of this is Gillette's Razor Maker program, which allows customers to personalize their razor handle by choosing different patterns or colors.

"For Gillette, the Razor Maker pilot represents an important step towards customization, where new technologies and new business models must come together to provide unique products to our consumers," said Donato Diez, Global Brand Manager for Gillette and Razor. Maker.

Dental Printing

Desktop 3D printers are increasingly found in dental laboratories and clinics. In fact, the popular 3D printed clear aligners are perhaps the most successful application of 3D printers we have seen so far.

Over the past ten years, 3D printing has advanced so much in dentistry that now no new dental laboratory opens without using some form of digital dentistry. 3D printing materials are so good that they can be used to produce crowns, dentures and more.

3D printing technologies thrive in an environment where our unique bodies require custom solutions. As a result, the dental industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation, with digital workflows delivering increased efficiency, consistent high quality, and reduced costs for dental labs and clinics.

3D printed gorgeous glasses

Marcus Marienfeld AG has distinguished itself from the conventional spectacle frame industry by using different and unique manufacturing techniques to create its frames. They recently started introducing 3D printers to their eyeglasses production line in their workshop.

"When you have a 3D printer, you become a very inventive and creative person. I can create things with minimal effort that I wouldn't even try to create if I didn't have a 3D printer," says Markus Marienfeld.

Infinite Possibilities

As workflows have evolved over the past few years and taken hold across industries, we are starting to see the revolutionary potential of 3D printing emerge.

From dentistry and healthcare to consumer products, architecture and manufacturing, society is increasingly interacting with 3D printed products. Creating bespoke parts, reducing lead times and overheads, and empowering customers to personalize products - we can only expect the impact of 3D printing to expand further.
