We found the TOP 5 videos of the week about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is shaping and changing our society. 3D printed skaterbot, micro structures, biomedical implants, metallic dental parts and more! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. You can also share your comments on 3Dnatives’ Facebook or Twitter accounts. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!
Top 1: The 3D Printed Skaterbot
3D printing has opened the door to robots with a wide range of motions and manoeuvres. This combined with the latest research in computer science, ETH Zürich Computational Robotics Lab designed a 3D printed robot with wheels and legs. They experimented by having their robot on ice. Even though happy with the first results, there is room for improvement as the goal is to match the skill and ability seen in humans. The 3D printed robot learns on his own how to get around, check it out below!
Top 2: The CREATOR to 3D Print Metal Parts
The CREATOR is a high-end 3D metal printer; the handling and processing of the printing data is realised via CAD file. The following video showcases how the printer is used in the dental industry. The CAD file is sent to the printer which 3D prints dental parts made of CoCr. If you want to see the full process simply watch the video below. It is the year of 3D printing in the medical field and processes such as this one are developing massively and could change the way we treat patients.
