What do you think the biggest problem for mass adoption of 3D printers is these days? Surprisingly, it’s not cost. Rather, the biggest issue is ease of use. And, according to John Dogru CEO of 3DPrinterOS, the 3D printer market is facing the same challenges now that the first computers faced about 40 years ago. Continue reading “Ease of Use is the Biggest Barrier to Entry for 3D Printing”
3D printing is a fantastic technology, but it is open to abuse. Doug Ealey, Partner, D Young & Co takes a look at some of the potential pitfalls. 3D printing enables the creation of highly complex objects without machining, and has the potential to disrupt key aspects of production, … Continue reading “How to avoid 3D printing a legal landmine”
One of the main limitations to desktop FFF 3D printing’s use is often a filament’s material properties. Kai Parthy has been a powerhouse when it comes to inventing new fused-filament deposition materials, inventing LayWoo-d3, BendLay, and more. Now, Parthy has come up with a revolutionary new material called: MoldLay. Continue reading “Bringing Industrial Manufacturing to the Desktop with New MoldLay 3D Printing Filament (VIDEO)”
