TOP 1: Elastic and resistant material for SLS 3D printing
The company Sinterit is an SLS 3D printer manufacturer based in Poland. The company creates affordable SLS 3D printers and also manufactures material: it has just released a new material for SLS printing. The material is called Thermoplastic Elastomer and makes it possible to 3D print functional prototypes such as pumps, bellows, gaskets and other elastic solutions. You can learn more about the advantages of this material and its production possibilities in the video below!
TOP 2: 3D printed product line for gamers
IKEA and UNYQ are partnering in order to provide gamers with customisable and useful 3D printed products. This aim of the new partnership between IKEA and UNYQ is also to explore how personalisation and home furnishing can change gaming and life around it. The first product is a biometric wrist support, which maintains the correct height of the gamer’s wrist to the keyboard, reducing strain on their tendons. The second is a keyboard accessory – soft pliable vented keycaps, which make the keyboard feel like a physical extension of gamers’ fingers. And finally, a mouse accessory was a must – this 3D printed accessory clamps the user’s mouse cable in place, preventing tangling and enabling full freedom of movement.
