Music by Rhett Price | Recorded on a 3D-printed acoustic violin, created with the Form 2

Introducing Formlabs' updated formulation of White Resin, capable of producing more vibrant color for clean, bold prints. To put it to the test, we challenged Formlabs engineer Brian Chan to create a fully-functional 3D-printed acoustic violin, and partnered with violinist Rhett Price ( https://www.facebook.com/rhettypants/) to compose and perform a song using the 3D-printed instrument.

Last year, we visited Aaron Sims Creative in Burbank, CA to explore the sketch-to-screen process behind the Stranger Things season 1 Demogorgon monster. In this interview, we take a deeper look at creature and concept designer Jared Krichevsky’s day-to-day work at ASC (he has since moved on to freelance work), and how 3D printing and the Formlabs Form 2 3D printer help the studio facilitate collaboration, win over directors, and bring digital models to life.

Established in 1985, Golden Century Casting is a family-owned jewelry manufacturing firm that has mastered the art of casting with 3D printed resins. The results are beautiful. See how technology is transforming this traditional industry: http://www.formlabs.com/applications/...


"Being part of a family business is the best kind of business I could be in.

Golden Century has been around since 1985.

We offer everything from initial design, to modeling, 3D printing, to casting, polishing, finishing, setting, to the complete product.

Technology has forever changed this industry.

99% of the stuff we create now has been 3D printed.

Casting photopolymer resin is definitely a monkey-wrench that was thrown into the manufacturing process when it was first introduced.

I was really pleasantly surprised about Formlabs’ resin performance when it comes to casting.

I thought it would be another one of those resins that didn’t work, but everything burns out clean.

The advantage of using 3D printers for jewelry manufacturing is, you design something, you press print, you have it the next day.

As a casting house, we really value giving those few pieces the time and the care that it needs to be that high-end piece that you could put a hundred thousand dollar stone in it and you’ll feel proud to present it to your client."

It’s hard to imagine an application for 3D printing that’s more complex or heavier-duty than keeping a railroad running, but Deutsche Bahn, Germany’s railroad operator and a global logistics player, is doing just that.

In episode 9 of the Digital Factory Podcast, we speak with Stefanie Brickwede, who runs the additive manufacturing program at Deutsche Bahn and founded Mobility Goes Additive. We discuss the company’s applications for 3D printing, how she’s approached cultural change around additive manufacturing within the organization, and what’s next for 3D printing in the rail, automotive, and air transport industries.

Play the full podcast to hear about:

- How Deutsche Bahn uses 3D printing to produce spare parts that meet strict safety regulations
- Why the company mostly outsources its 3D printing needs
- How the team introduced 3D printing, from getting stakeholder buy-in to training colleagues

Stefanie Brickwede is a keynote speaker at The Digital Factory Conference in Munich on May 14. Join executives and technical experts from companies like GE, BMW, Henkel, Carl Zeiss, Deloitte, EOS, HP, and SAP to learn strategies for digital transformation in manufacturing.

Find out how Dr. Michael Scherer is using 3D printing for digital dentistry to create bleaching trays, bite guards, and surgical guides. See more dental case studies: http://formlabs.com/dentistry/


"The possibilities of 3D printing in dentistry is limitless.

In dentistry right now, digital technology is really exciting.

Gone are the days of the old-fashioned gooey, messy impression.

Having a 3D printer in my practice has literally changed everything I do.

I can do a host of different things with it, including making my own bleaching trays, bite guards, or even surgical guides.

What I do is, I scan a patient’s teeth, and with that digital scan I can output an STL file.

With an in-office 3D printer I can fabricate my own surgical guides, where before I used to have to send this out to the laboratory, wait two to three weeks, and pay hundreds of dollars. And now I can print out a model in about an hour.

I create a vacuum template that goes over the top of those sleeves, when I take my instruments and start drilling through here, I've married the precision of 3D planning with 3D printing.

I can practice an actual surgical procedure on that 3D printed model, so that way when I go to the mouth, I've already done it once.

The amazing thing is that we can take a technology like an in-office 3D printer and it makes our tasks easier, but it won’t make us change what we do."

This week we present three conversations from IMTS, the giant manufacturing technology trade show that comes to Chicago every other year. In this episode we speak with Spencer Wright, author of The Prepared and head of partnerships at nTopology. He's an authority on 3D printing, so he's able to make sense of the enormous range of 3D printing processes and machines that appeared at IMTS this year.

Be sure to listen to the other two episodes in this series, #13 featuring Inventables CEO Zach Kaplan, and #14 with Elizabeth Koprucki from the University of Chicago's fab lab.
