Welcome to our compilation of this week’s top 5 most compelling 3D printing videos. We kick off this week with a video by 3D Systems, providing us with a detailed look at their latest dental innovations, which were showcased at AMUG 2023 last year. Moving forward, The 3D Print Zone offers a detailed, step-by-step view of how to 3D print and assemble a fully functional electric guitar. Next up, the CEO of CEAD, Lucas Jannsen, discusses what to consider when choosing your staff for large format additive manufacturing, providing insights into the specific roles within LFAM. We’re then presented with a video by NATEP, discussing Intelligens’ introduction of their Machine Learning for Additive Manufacturing Experimental Design Algorithm (MEDAL). And finally, we wrap up this week’s Top 5 with a video by DW Shift, revealing the potential of 3D printing in organ development and transplantation. Let’s get started!
Top 1: 3D Printing’s Diverse Dental Applications
First in line, 3D Systems highlights its latest dental innovations demonstrated at the AMUG 2023 event in Chicago last year. These include new materials designed for various dental applications, such as transparent and flexible options for splints, nightguards and retainers, a durable base material for removable dentures, and 3D printed metal crowns. Furthermore, the showcased materials offer high resolution, ease of printing, and cost-effectiveness, which 3D Systems reports can fulfill the diverse needs of dental professionals.
Top 2: 3D Printing A Functional Electric Telecaster Guitar
In this video by The 3D Print Zone, we’re presented with a step-by-step guide on building a functional, 3D printed electric guitar. The video begins with an in-depth discussion of the design process, covering everything from CAD modeling to the materials used and the actual printing of the guitar. Providing detailed instructions throughout the entirety of the video, the host also offers insights into experimenting with resin to complete the guitar’s funky and electric aesthetic.
