Traditionally, when engineers and artists begin designing models, there have been sets of “rules” that designers had to follow. These design rules of manufacturing prohibited the creation of products with intricate centers, hollowed sections, organic curves and movable, interactive pieces in many instances. Mold manufacturing and machining simply couldn’t create these models, and if they somehow could, the process was contorted and extremely expensive. However, since the implementation of 3D printing, these rules have been bent and broken.
Here is an interesting and fun list of ten things created through 3D printing which “defy” the rules of traditional manufacturing. Gyro The Cube This design by Shapeways user Virtox isn’t new, but it is more than explosive within the 3D printing world. Objet’s 3D Printed Toddler At least to my knowledge, not a single style of manufacturing can do something similar to what Objet did with this print. Spinning Gear Models Colored Mermaid Delight Related. George W. Hart's Beautiful 3D-Printed Sculptures. You’ve probably already peaked below at the images in this story. How could you not? They are breathtakingly beautiful. Works of art. And works of math. If the images weren’t on a website called 3DPrinter.net, you might think they were all handmade sculptures. But no, they were printed on a 3D printer. Their creator is George Hart–a mathematician, computer scientist, engineer, educator and writer.
In this article, we are showing images of 23 “mathematical centerpieces” Hart made for a Museum of Mathematics fundraiser dinner. Enjoy the photos and then if you’d like a bit more information on each object, there is a sentence of explanation for each one in under the images in the album on his site. Visit the George W.

Printrbot: Your First 3D Printer by Brook Drumm. I designed the Printrbot to be the simplest 3D printer yet. There are some great kits out there - the Makerbot, the Ultimaker, the Prusa Mendel, and others - but none as small and simple as the Printrbot. This all-in-one 3D printer kit can be assembled and printing in a couple of hours.
Other kits will not only take you many more hours to build, they will also have hundreds more parts, and they will cost more. My design also does away with the finicky calibration and adjustment from which most 3D printers suffer. The Printrbot is my original design, but borrows from many great designers in the open source 3D printer world (check out reprap.org). Pictures of the Printrbot: Video of the Printrbot: More Info: printrbot.com Being a true RepRap means you will immediately be able to upgrade and modify the machine with parts you print yourself. Solar-Sinter 3D printer creates glass objects from sun and sand. Markus Kayser tests his Solar-Sinter in the Egyptian desert Image Gallery (6 images) We've seen a growing number 3D printers that use additive manufacturing technology to form objects one layer at a time, usually from resin or ABS plastic.
But Markus Kayser, an MA student at the Royal College of Art in London, has created a 3D printer that creates 3D objects using two things found in abundance in the desert - sun and sand. As well as being powered by the sun via two photovoltaic panels, the Solar-Sinter also focuses the sun's rays to heat sand to its melting point so it then solidifies as glass when it cools, allowing the computer controlled device to produce glass objects from 3D computer designs. View all Kayser's inspiration for the Solar-Sinter grew out a previous solar-powered machine he created called the Sun-Cutter.
That device consists of a large Fresnel lens that focuses the sun's rays to a focal point onto a platform holding the silica sand. Via: PhysOrg About the Author.
