Why Nylon 3D Printing is Ideal for Pipeline Inspection Robots
Custom 3D Printed Nylon Components for Pipeline Inspection Robots in Canada Pipeline inspection demands equipment that works in tough environments. For Canadian companies building inspection robots, nylon components provide the strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance needed for reliable performance. Why Engineers Choose Nylon for Pipeline Inspection Robots Inspection robots face tight spaces, fluctuating pressures, and […]
Why You Should Always Read Content Release Agreements — Especially in the Age of AI
AI and Content Rights: What It Means and Why It Matters In today’s digital world, AI and content rights are more important than ever. Understanding what you’re agreeing to in content release agreements can protect your voice, image, and words from unlimited use. After over 20 years in 3D printing, I’ve learned that the fine […]
Can AI Replace Human Connection? Insights from Simon Sinek
The conversation around AI and human connection is more than just trending — it’s becoming personal. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak directly with Simon Sinek during a live Q&A focused on this very topic. His team is known for being in “the human business.” As the front-facing sales and marketing lead for a […]
3d printed part pumps huge amounts of water
https://youtu.be/6otJ2h9lRDE We created this functioning 3d printed prototype for the Zelda Pump that was used for live testing. Created as a full scale prototype, it was tested pumping gallons of water in seconds without the use of hydro! Watch the video to see it in action.
3D Printing a Model? Start Here
It seems that this time of year we find to be ‘scaled down model’ time of year likely because there’s a lot of trade shows that are coming up or fall sales sales meetings being scheduled in advance.
3D Printing Assemblies with SLS
In the ever-evolving world of 3D printing, some innovations stand the test of time and serve as a testament to the technology’s transformative potential. One such innovation is a remarkable set of 3D printed gears, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Remote Control Stephen Hawking Big Bang Theory
In an episode of The Big Bang Theory (S10, E09), ‘The Hawking Excitation’ Howard unveils a miniature remote control toy of Stephen Hawking. Despite initial objections from his wife and friends, Stephen Hawking, guest starring on the show, expressed his delight at the idea of a mini RC toy of himself.
Leading the Way with Direct Digital Manufacturing
Revolutionizing Prototyping: Direct Digital Manufacturing with 3D Printing At 3D Prototype Design, we are at the forefront of transforming the manufacturing landscape with cutting-edge technologies. Our expertise in Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and 3D printing since 1996 is redefining the way components are produced. It’s not uncommon for us to […]
Why Shapeways Closed its Doors
Honestly, we’re surprised that Shapeways didn’t closed much sooner, and that was years before they obtained so much investor support and financing. While our SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3d printing pricing was very competitive with the majority of their offerings (beating them several times), it still baffled us as to how Shapeways could undercut some […]
How does SLS 3D Printing Work?
How does SLS 3D Printing Work? Many people are surprised when they learn how truly different SLS 3D printing is from what they thought it was. As Canada’s first 3D Printing Company since ’96 and SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) specialists for over 20 yrs, we still find it fun to share just how different it […]
