Breakthrough: Digital Light Processing For Metals
Tests have shown that the Digital Light Processing (DLP) based technology developed by the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and its partners, for the 3D printing of ceramic materials can also be made suitable for metals, which will be, and I quote: ‘providing a higher-quality alternative to existing 3D metal-shaping techniques.’ Continue reading “Breakthrough: Digital Light Processing For Metals”
Gillette Files Patent to 3D Print Functional Razor Blades
Gillette was one of the earliest consumer company’s to use 3D printing technology. Unfortunately, 3D printing was incapable of prototyping functional razor cartridges, which would become deformed when exposed to hot water. For that reason, Gillette’s 3D printed prototype razor models could only be used for aesthetic development. However, a new patent indicates that Gillette has found a solution to this problem. Continue reading “Gillette Files Patent to 3D Print Functional Razor Blades”
