Impact of 3D Printing on Supply Chain « 3D Printing « Robert's blog


WHEN 3D PRINTING becomes mainstream, it will have a major impact on many aspects of manufacturing and design processes. In the next weeks, I am writing a series of posts on how I think the 3D printing revolution will unfold and what impact it can have. In this first post, I am writing about the impact on supply chain.

Fit For Purpose and Personalized Products

AN INTERESTING ASPECT of design in relation to personal fabrication and customized design is fit for purpose. How do you determine a product is good enough for its intended purpose? And who is responsible that a product you buy is fit for the purpose you intended?

Ultra-high-resolution 3D Printer Breaks Speed-Records

rinting three dimensional objects with incredibly fine details is now possible using “two-photon lithography”. With this technology, tiny structures on a nanometer scale can be fabricated. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) have now made a major breakthrough in speeding up this printing technique: The high-precision-3D-printer at TU Vienna is orders of magnitude faster than similar devices (see video). This opens up completely new areas of application, such as in medicine.

3D Printed Ceramic Oil Lamp

Author:bathsheba(Bathsheba Sculpture LLC), instructables.com

What are the guide­lines for design­ing 3DP ceram­ic? I’m get­ting it from Shape­ways, so I punt to their page on how to use this mate­r­i­al. One impor­tant rule is that when you have an enclosed space, you need at least a 10-15mm hole so the…

Love this! I am curious how the final product will look like.

The Internet Community Needs To Deal With Policy Making

LAST FRIDAY Michael Weinberg from Public Knowledge swinged by our office. It is always great to catch up with him. He spoke about their new initiative called Internet Blueprint to make new better and improved legislation to replace the texts of Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA).
