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 […]
720 Individual 3d printed K’NEX pieces built this cool digger!
We created this cool K’NEX project for our tradeshow booth display and it was a bit hit! People actually came specifically over to our booth to take pictures and selfies with it to send off to their kids. Made using SLS and nylon12, then post coloured with our own developed process, over 720 individual pieces […]
