Top 5 Videos: A Closer Look at Rapid Tooling with 3D Printing

Once again it is Sunday, which means we are showing you some of the top 5 3D printing videos that we have found this week. First up is a video from well-known 3D solutions manufacturer Formlabs. They cover the fundamentals of using 3D printing for one of its most common applications, rapid tooling. Next, 3Dnatives presents the Nova 3D printer from French manufacturer Cosmyx! Launched in 2021, the desktop 3D printer is based on the FDM process. Finally, find out how the famous company BMW uses additive manufacturing and what parts the company has designed. In any case, we wish you a very good Sunday!

Top 1: Rapid Tooling and 3D Printing with Formlabs

In this first video, Formlabs takes viewers through the fundamentals of using 3D printing for rapid tooling. Rapid tooling consists of quickly producing custom-made tools for the creation of end-use parts. It is an integral part of manufacturing and is also one of the common applications for 3D printing as 3D technologies allow greater speed than traditional methods. In the video, you will not only learn exactly what rapid tooling is but also how it works with 3D printing, its applications and examples. Check it out below:

Top 2: The Nova 3D printer
