Dutch architects build first entirely 3D printed micro home
There appears to be no limit to what can be produced with a 3D printing service. From decorative objects to intricate and life-saving medical equipment, the invention of the 3D printer has made possible so many things that were previously the stuff of fantasy. And now an Amsterdam-based company, DUS Architects, which specialises in designs that make a difference to everyday life, has unveiled the world’s first 3D printed house. Could this foretell a future in which our homes are ordered from a 3D printing service?
Boeing lands a new world record with the biggest 3D printer for wing production
When William Boeing founded what is now one of the world’s most recognisable brands back in the early 1900’s he declared that his company had “embarked as pioneers upon a new science and industry” and asserted that no novel idea should be dismissed with the statement “It can’t be done”. Fast forward more than a hundred years and Boeing’s words appear prophetic as his company, in partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory has set a new world record for the largest solid object to be created through the process of 3D printing.
3DQP invests in new FDM 3D printer
Here at 3D Quick Printing, the Midlands fasting growing 3D printing service bureau, we use FDM technology to 3D print parts in ABS plastic. Parts are strong, functional and are being used in a wide range of applications. For the last couple of years, we’ve been using 2 Stratasys 3D printers and more often than not they’ve been producing parts 24 / 7.
How scientists are developing 3D food printers for your home
The ability to create or replicate objects by printing them in three dimensions in offices, or even in the home, would have seemed like the stuff of science fiction fantasy only a few years ago. But now scientists are going one step further and working on 3D food printers.
Will 3D printing one day save your life?
3D printing has been making big waves in the medical world since it was first used in surgery in its early form in 1999. Back then, an artificial bladder was made using a biodegradable scaffold created in 3D from a CT scan of the patient’s own bladder. Fast forward to the present day, and 3D printing is set to have a greater impact on medical science and may indeed one day save lives that would otherwise be lost.

Dramatic growth in mainstream 3D printing applications
There has been increased momentum in the 3D printing industry, with more and more technologists and firms seeking out the opportunities available through this relatively new technology. According to a venture firm in Korea, it’s now possible to achieve a number of cost-effective solutions through 3D printing, which is also termed ‘Additive Manufacturing’.
Medical marvels replacement bones and ears created by 3D bioprinter
Is there anything that can’t be 3D printed? From miniature figures of your loved ones to bespoke pasta shapes, 3D printing is taking IT services to a whole new level. But while many applications remain very much in the sphere of fun and novelty, there are some increasingly serious applications of the technology.
