We may not even be half way through this year yet, but the innovations being made in the 3D printing world obviously haven’t needed that long to bring fourth new developments. This can be seen recently in new 3D printed jewelry collections, such as those from Diana Law.
Following announcements a few months ago on a partnership between Siemens AG, Strata Manufacturing PJSC and Etihad Airways (the second largest airline in the United Arab Emirates) to help bring more 3D printing into the interior of airlines, has now been followed by even more good news, the project has been a success!
Together, the project has created a 3D printed part in the form of a plastic frame. This plastic frame will surround the screens in the seats, as well as the mounted screens on Etihad Airways’ planes. Giving an overall reduction in weight (as was given with the previous screen frames), while adding a touch of simplicity to the interior of the aircraft. An overall added benefit for both the airlines and its customers.
