Top 5 Videos: Celebrate 3D Printing Day!

Happy 3D Printing Day! Yes, you heard right! Coined back in 2013 by GE with the catchy line “going 3D on D3,” the third day of December has become a time to reflect on the additive manufacturing industry and marvel at how far it has come. To celebrate this event, we have prepared some of the most interesting, entertaining, and enjoyable 3Dnatives videos of the past few years! Rest assured, it was not easy to choose, but we’ve found five videos with five different formats that we are constantly working on to keep you up to date with the latest news from the 3D printing industry! Among them, we have one of the episodes of the 3D Explained series where our 3Dnatives professional takes us through the various technologies, explaining them in just a few minutes. We also have one of our 3Dinterviews to find out how Hendrick Motorsports uses additive manufacturing. Next, is a video all about the applications of additive manufacturing in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics, before a chat with Sherri Monroe, Executive Director of AMGTA. We end on a high note with ImplementAM which brings attention to the importance of training in the AM industry. Enjoy the videos and have a happy 3D Printing Day!

Top 1: 3D Printing with Polymers

We begin with a video in our “3D Explained” series in which we journey into the vast world of polymers used in 3D printing. This is just the first episode of a multi-part series in which 3Dnatives’ own Elliot Saldukaite teaches brief, but educational videos dedicated to the ins and outs of 3D printing fundamentals. Haven’t seen the series yet? This is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the qualities and characteristics of standard polymer materials used in 3D printing and which could be right for your project. An ideal short video for 3D printing enthusiasts and those who plan to start experimenting with the technology! What better way to celebrate 3D Printing Day?

Top 2: #3Dinterview with Hendrick Motorsports

One of the areas where 3D printing finds application is definitely on the racetrack. So, let us take you back to a video interview that automotive and 3D printing enthusiasts will enjoy! Learn how 3D printing has become an indispensable technology in the automotive industry, with collaborations continually pushing the boundaries to help drivers achieve peak performance. Our interview with Hendrick Motorsports, the team behind NASCAR’s Garage 56, reveals the innovative use of 3D printing and its significant impact on participation in the prestigious-yet-gruelling, 24-hour race of Le Mans in France.
