Top 5 Videos: 3D Printing on an Offshore Platform

Hello and welcome back to the top 5 videos of the week in the world of 3D printing! While you may rest assured we’ve got a whole range of interesting stories and takes from the industry. Join us as we dive into SLS printing and some cold Atlantic water to visit an offshore platform, then take a trip down California way to check out some 3D printed homes. Both food and drink are also on the menu as we sample some 3D printed sugar creations and help a brewery sort its storage with the help of 3D printed solutions!

Top 1: The Offshore 3D Printing Revolution

In this video from 3D printer manufacturer Roboze, we take a trip up to the North Sea to visit an offshore rig welcoming its newest permanent member. Through interviews with members of the crew, learn about how the installation of an industrial 3D printer on board makes life easier for the rig and its crew. From fabricating replacement parts on demand to using materials that can resist the harsh northern storms, the use of 3D printing on-site is a paradigm shift for many industries. Watch the video to learn more about how Roboze is signaling the future of additive manufacturing around the world.

Top 2: Recycled Bottles Make 3D Printed Houses

Leaving the North Sea and taking a left turn at Albuquerque, we join Kirsten Dirksen as she meets with California-based company Azure. Specializing in 3D printing homes with recycled material, take an in-depth look at the style and construction process of these recycled abodes. Get a firsthand look at the fine details alongside the company co-founder Ross Maguire and learn about the modular construction style of Azure’s homes and the planning that goes into each future home or annex.
