The Mark One Carbon Fiber 3D Printer. We took a look at a surprise 3D printer unveiled this week: Mark Forg3D’s Mark One, after a year of secret development work. At a glance, it looks like any other personal-sized 3D printer, albeit with a very slick metal case. But then you look at what’s being printed. Carbon Fiber. Yes, this device can actually 3D print carbon fiber. We believe it is the very first 3D printer capable of producing objects made from carbon fiber, a wondrous material with extreme strength and very light weight. Carbon fiber produced by the Mark One is said to be 20X stronger than ABS - and even slightly stronger than aluminum! We were surprised to learn that you don’t need to 3D print objects made entirely of carbon fiber. According to Mark Forg3D, a typical part would be printed in a combination of nylon and carbon fiber. The Mark One has another very unique feature: it’s removable print bed has capabilities we’ve not seen before.
Home. DIY Stereolithography 3D Printer. Build a Laser 3D Printer - Stereolithography at Home. Here is how to make a Stereolithography 3D Printer. It is still a bit of a work in progress but so far it is working pretty well. This is mainly an experiment which started as a Delta Robot Stereolithography Printer but ended as a more traditional Cartesian Stereolithography Printer. "I'll be honest, we're throwing science at the walls here to see what sticks. No idea what it'll do. " - Cave Johnson Stereolithography (SL or SLA from Stereolithography Apparatus) is an additive manufacturing process using a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer "resin" and a UV laser to build parts one layer at a time. I have wanted a 3D Printer for a while now and there are some very reasonably priced kits available like the Makerbot, Ultimaker and the RepRap project.
I decided to enter this in the Epilog Challenge Contest because I could really use a laser cutter :-) I also have some ideas how to redesign this project, for creation on a laser cutter. This project is Open Source Hardware. MIT Media Lab: 3-D printing with variable densities. Suspended Depositions. Future of Construction Process: 3D Concrete Printing. 3D Concrete Printing - Appendix (No audio, August 2011) Klaus Stadlmann: The world’s smallest 3D printer. 3D scan and cutting on a 5 axis CNC machine. The Solar Sinter by Markus Kayser. Specifications | MarkForged. The Revolution will be Caramelized - The CandyFab Project. Mercury beating heart. 3D printed replicas of people and pets from Captured Dimensions.
I met Jordan Williams at the Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo. When I asked him what he did he pulled out a tablet and showed me this: That’s him holding a 3D printed bust of himself. Jordan creates high-resolution 3D scans of people (and their pets) and has them 3D printed. Throughout history sculptures have been made of people, though usually of or for wealthy people. Jordan runs a startup called Captured Dimensions and he just revamped the website, so we exchanged a few emails about the company. Jordan: We make our models of living subjects using the process of Photogrammetry. 3DP: That sounds expensive.
Jordan: There was a great deal of trial and error throughout the initial phases of our setup. 3DP: What print services do you use? Jordan: Throughout development, we have sourced prints through several providers such as Shapeways, Sculpteo, local companies, etc. Related. VRZ 1. a tack bike frame with 3d printed lugs.
