The Best 3D Printing Videos from 2021

The year 2021 has come to an end and, like every Sunday, 3Dnatives is taking a look at some of the best videos, though this time it’s from the past 12 months rather than the week. Between building houses, bridges, robots or car parts, the technology has developed greatly over the past year. Other industries, such as medical and aerospace have also been impacted by the advancement of the technology. In addition, the return of physical events, such as Formnext, the world’s largest trade show dedicated to 3D printing, has brought industry players together. Through these 10 3D printing videos, relive some of the most outstanding innovations of 2021!

A 3D printed ocular prosthesis

A few weeks ago we learned about the case of Steve Verze, a London resident who became the first person in the world to receive a 3D printed ocular prosthesis. The prosthesis was developed in a collaboration between several agents in the UK and Europe, in a project led by researchers at UCL and Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. In this video, see how 3D printing has enabled Steve to regain his self-confidence thanks to the ultra-realistic appearance of the prosthesis, which is also adapted to the shape of the eye socket.

Large format machines at Formnext 2021

One of the biggest 3D printing events that the industry experienced in 2021 was undoubtedly Formnext. Organized in Frankfurt in mid-November, this event brought together the main players in the industry in one place after several months without the possibility of physical events. And to bring you first-hand all the news of the 2021 event, the 3Dnatives team made a series of videos with the most outstanding machines, applications and innovations of the fair. Specifically, in this video, get to know the 5 large format 3D printers that we saw in Frankfurt, specifically at the CMS, Triton, CEAD, Cubicure and MX3D booths. Discover the features of these five machines below!
