Top 5: Flashforge Review From 3Dnatives Lab

Hello everyone and welcome to our top 5 videos of the week! We hope you are all looking forward to Christmas and enjoying our ongoing 3D printing news and content. In our video selection for this week, we have a mix of content, from our Flashforge review from the 3Dnatives lab, to Volkmann on powder handling for industrial production, and CAD software solutions. We also have a nice casual watch; you can see a space capsule being printed based on Printables files. Enjoy!

Top 1: Flashforge Review From The 3Dnatives Lab

Next up, we have a video from our very own tech expert Elliot, who has tested out the latest printer from Flashforge: the Guider 3 Plus. In this video, he gives us a rundown of his user experience, from the ease of use and accessibility, to the materials and features, and to the resultant models which he managed to create. As we hear in the video, Elliot’s experience of the printer was broadly positive, as the quality was high and he considered the printer good value for money. You can find his write up of the printer HERE.

Top 2: Lockheed Martin and Defense Industry Partnerships

We have this video from American defence firm Lockheed Martin about their partnership with Sintavia, a digital industry company and a supplier to the company. They want to promote metal additive manufacturing as an alternative to the traditional methods of castings and forgings. Furthermore, Lockheed Martin’s new initiative, AM Forward, is a collaboration with the White House to improve supply chains across the US. Additive manufacturing is a well known way of maintaining supply chains and solving potential issues as parts can be made at scale in a short time frame.
