This video shows the 3D Printing process of ‘White, Strong & Flexible’ – the strongest thermoplastic material that we have at the moment. The material is a polyamide 12, powder. The machine used is an EOS Formiga P100 SLS machine. SLS stands for Selective Laser Sintering and this is the 3D printing process used by the Formiga.

Minecraft – Interview with 3D Printer Model Maker Alexander Boden

Admin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:40:47 +0000

An exclusive interview with Alexander Boden, the infamous 3D printer model maker who created a village in Minecraft and then recreating it as a small scale model (each block is only 1mm). He did this by working with his research colleague Sebastian Draxler, utilizing a variety of software tools and a (not inexpensive) Zprinter 650 – 3D printer, owned by the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) dept of Siegen University in Germany. For those more interested in the work of this research group, more can be found about them and work in the field of HCI here: www.uni-siegen.de They are currently looking for more students to be part of their HCI masters program. Also more information can be found about other 3D printers from ZCorp and the other applications they are being used for at www.zcorp.com The music at the start of this story is the in-game Minecraft music track “Moog City” composed by C418, an interview with whom can be found at www.youtube.com Also more information about all things Minecraft related can be found at this great resource: www.MinecraftForum.net This interview was conducted by Curse video dept staff member Olly.

TEDxVienna – Klaus Stadlmann – The world’s smallest 3D Printer

www.tedxvienna.at www.facebook.com Klaus Stadlmann majored 2008 in industrial engineering at the TU Vienna. His degree thesis: “the development of an orthosis used in the supporting and measuring of a torque path of the ankle during rehabilitation” received special honors. At the moment he is finishing his pre-doc in technical sciences at Vienna’s Technical University’s Institute of Material Sciences and Technologies. Under the supervision of Prof. Stampfl he is involved in a working group concerned with the manufacturing of optical fibers. About TEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) www.tedxvienna.at www.facebook.com
