This isn't sci-fi. It's built using Direct Metal Laser... Sintering (DMLS), a 3D-printing process that fuses titanium powder layer by layer with high-precision lasers. Each print forms thousands of tiny interlocking links, creating a flexible, chainmail-like sheet that moves almost like real fabric.show more

Ok so I've been teasing this Non-Planar print to... show off another use case for the E3D #NippleNozzles besides belt printing but now its time to reveal the greater purpose. In collaboration with Michael Wüthrich we developed a technique to illustrate one of practical values of Non-Planar 3D Printing. It may not look like much now but you can clearly see there is much less friction imparted to the steel ball in the front ramp which was 3D Printed using Michaels current NP slicing process as compared to a traditional layer by layer topographical print. What are some other practical uses for Non-Planar? More on this soon!show more

🤖 HYPER-REALISTIC 3D-PRINTED ROBOT HEAD IS STRAIGHT OUT OF... A SCI-FI MOVIE Creator Will Cogley is designing a robotic head with creepy lifelike detail, using 3D printing and real human anatomy as reference. It blinks, moves, and emotes in a way that’ll either blow your mind or haunt your dreams. Yes, it's as cool as it is unsettling. Source: will\_cogley / Instagramshow more

Burl wood, valued for its unique swirling grain from... abnormal tree growths, is sliced into paper-thin sheets using a rotary veneer lathe. This process reveals one-of-a-kind patterns, layer by layer.show more

AI-Enhanced LiDAR. Left vs right. A real LiDAR device... costs thousands of dollars. What's in your iPhone Pro is a "baby LiDAR". Limited depth resolution, noisy output, not really built for high-precision 3D. You can't change the hardware. So we built an ML layer on top. Denoising, geometry completion, detail recovery. Processed server-side. Same sensor. Very different result.show more

This looks like something out of a sci-fi movie🤯

In computer simulations, as an object slides along the... surface of ice, a structureless, "amorphous" layer forms. Materials scientists at Saarland University in Germany argue that this process may be the cause of ice’s slipperiness.show more

I developed a Blender Addon that allows real-time color... grading and compositing in the viewport using layers. Like many image editing software, each layer can adjust opacity, blend mode, and more. 🎇 I use this addon in almost all my work now. 🔥 💖Get it now! 👉 #Blender3D #b3d #blender #addon #BlenderMarketshow more

part of the traditional block printing process. The fabric... is carefully fixed and aligned, then printed with carved wooden blocks or stencils to create repeating patterns. It’s a slow, detailed method that requires precision, but the result is a unique textile with handmade character.show more

This high-rise tower in China isn't a housing block... — it's a pig farm, with each floor operating like a self-contained farm. Towers like this are part of China's push to reduce its dependence on agricultural imports.show more
