This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is shaping our society. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive! Check out our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! This week we touch on 3D printed frames, the world’s first 3D printed community and much more! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!
Top 1: World’s first 3D printed community is being built in Mexico
We previously told you about New Story and ICON’s mission to create the world’s first 3D printed community as a means to combat homelessness. At the time, the exact location of the project had not been revealed. The project is now officially underway in Tabasco, Mexico. The two players have been joined by ÉCHALE, New Story’s partner in Mexico. The homes will be granted to local families currently living in extreme poverty and unsafe shelters. Learn more below!
Top 2: 3D Printed Frames
Fitz Frames is a young American company that creates custom-made glasses for children thanks to additive manufacturing. After scanning the shape of their face with a smartphone, the company 3D prints the frames of the glasses according to the child’s needs. Fitz Frames has invested in EOS’ Laser Powder Bed Fusion machines to manage the entire manufacturing process from start to finish. It can thus control the quality of its 3D printed glasses and respond more effectively to demand:
