Gears Celebrating 20 Years of Innovative 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. These gears, [...]
Exploring 3D Printing Possibilities: The Big Bang Theory’s Stephen Hawking Toy 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
In Memory of Alex "aullicks" Sirman — May The Force Be With You It was with great honour and privilege that we were able to be a part of Alex's memorial and create this 3d printed Lego-like urn with a Star Wars feel. As you read more below from a letter we received from [...]
You may have noticed the Zelda pump (3d printed by us with SLS and nylon) on our home page, but I thought I'd bring light to it again as recently our customer let us know that with their last round of testing the pump ran for 2-1/2 days, pumping 2.3 million gallons of water! That's [...]
Even though we've been in the 3d printing business for 20 years, I NEVER get tired of hearing how much better our SLS nylon prototypes are than our competition! Last week we received a message from a recent customer that was using a well-known large 3d printing company before finding our services and here's what [...]
Star Trek fans rejoice, as after much anticipation the Bluetooth Star Trek Communicator has arrived! Here's the story... Just before Christmas I pre-ordered the new Star Trek Bluetooth communicator as a gift and needed to wrap something in place (as a photo is kinda lame). Being in the 3d printing business, I approached one of [...]
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.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: the article below we wrote to illustrate 3D printing possibilities and because it's just fun. We do not and cannot make or sell this item. Sorry, we also do not know of anyone who does or could help you. How it would start In order to make this item for [...]
