This week we take you to the snowy slopes of Colorado, where the 3D printed snowboard bindings by Stratasys and the Slicelab design studio have been successfully tested! Next, learn about TRUSTTO, a startup that uses 3D printing to help rescue services by manufacturing parts for stretchers. Finally, we present the collaboration between ICON and the Texas Military Department. Together, they 3D printed a barracks of over 1,000 square meters, capable of accommodating up to 72 soldiers. In any case, Happy Sunday — enjoy watching!

In order to 3D print snowboard bindings, the American giant Stratasys has teamed up with the Slicelab design studio. Using Loctite 3172 material supplied by Henkel Adhesives and the Stratasys Origin One high-speed 3D printer, the team was able to create bindings that withstand the extreme load conditions encountered while snowboarding. They used very precise analysis technologies and obtained an optimized topology. Recently the 3D printed snowboard and bindings were put to the test in Breckenridge, Colorado, and to say the least, the project is a success:
