3D Printed Working Model of an F1 Gearbox

We recently explored how Formula 1 has embraced 3D printing to fabricate car parts, test prototypes, and even guide regulatory decisions. Suffice to say, F1 and AM are now tightly intertwined. Youtuber Indeterminate Design (ID) is taking that relationship to another level with his fully functional 3D printed F1 gearbox. Over a series of videos, […]

No Layer Lines With Non-Planar FDM 3D Printing

The surface quality of FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D prints has improved drastically in the last few years, mostly thanks to improved slicing software that extrudes / retracts more consistently and machine firmware that better handles acceleration. It’s also easier than ever to find high-quality, affordable filament that’s free of impurities and has only minor […]

Jurong Bird Park Hornbill with cancer saved by 3D-printed prosthetic casque

via mothership

The approach consisted of performing a surgical resection of the casque and replacing it with a 3D prosthetic. It took almost two months of designing and discussion before a model was deemed a perfect fit for the hornbill.

To do so, the veterinary team engaged the help of Keio-NUS CUTE (Connective Ubiquitous Technology for Embodiments) Centre, NUS Smart Systems Institute, and NUS Centre for Additive Manufacturing to produce the prosthesis with 3D-printing.

The 3D models were then assessed by honorary consultant Dr Hsu Li Chieh from The Animal Clinic.

Part of the casque was removed with an oscillating saw and the affected tissue was cleared too.
