The jewellery industry to stay abreast 3D printing future!   The jewellery industry is undergoing a significant transformation, and at the forefront is the rise of 3D printing. For designers and manufacturers navigating the plethora of available technologies, finding the right fit for your business can be daunting. Freeform Fabrication, with over two decades of experience, offers a clear perspective: 3D printing, particularly for creating wax patterns for casting, is a game-changer.   Rather than overwhelming you with marketing jargon, we want to highlight the practical benefits of integrating 3D printing into your workflow.    So, what tangible advantages does a dedicated jewellery 3D printer offer? Firstly, unparalleled precision. Bring even the most intricate designs to life with a level of detail previously unattainable by hand. While skilled wax carvers undoubtedly exist, their methods don't always scale efficiently. With 3D printing, your entire tea...

Bionic eyes science fiction now closer In using a multi-material 3D printer A bionic eye thanks to silver! The dream of producing a bionic eye has taken a step closer thanks to silver. The challenge of making such a prosthetic has always been to layer light-sensitive materials onto an orb without the distortion inherent in placing two-dimensional objects even thin ones like wires onto a rounded surface.   Researchers at the University of Minnesota claim to be the first to use a 3D printer to overlay light receptors on a hemispherical glass surface. Michael McAlpine, a coauthor of the study 3D Printed Polymer Photo detectors and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, said in prepared remarks: “Bionic eyes are usually thought of as science fiction, but now we are closer than ever using a multi-material 3D printer.” Using a custom-made 3D printer, the research team took a base ink of silver particles and sprayed it on the glass surface. Instead of running...
