“In racing terms, seven pounds is a massive amount of weight. The top frame is located high up on the car and therefore must be as light as possible to ensure the center of gravity of the vehicle remains as low as possible. The new, lightweight top frame should see significant improvement, especially as the center of gravity has a direct effect on a car’s tire wear.” That is Tino Belli discussing INDYCAR's 3D printed safety addition, the top frame.

A strength to weight ratio (aka specific strength) of 842 N/mm²? That's not only possible, but even printable! 🔥 And for non-technicians: that's a pretty impressive figure, showing us that a material is extremely strong compared to its low weight. 💪 In comparison: the specific strength of aluminum is only 179 N/mm², which is already not too shabby. What material are we talking about? Carbon fibre! 😏 We already showed you how we were able to reduce the weight of essential components for TU Wien Racing Team's race car. Achieved by 3D printed carbon fibre. 🏎💨 Now it's time for you to experience the difference yourself!

3d printing performance at a high level

At Desmia, we've been geeking out over perfecting lattice structures for 3D printed sandals. If your company is diving into this cool tech, we're here to lend a hand.

From old to new - as we move into manufacturing a small, identical fleet of micro-vessels, here's some reflections on the designs: OLDEST The micro-vessel on the far left was initially designed in 2021, and by mid 2022 became our first design to navigate a force 6 on the open sea 💪. The hull was 3D printed in sections, and hand-wrapped in fibreglass. Pros: Incredibly strong hull, 3d printed internals allowed for a rapid pace of iteration. NEWEST The micro-vessel on the far right hit the water two weeks ago, and has since been put through 4 separate commissioning tests on the water📋, where we compared data on the hull + sail dynamics to older designs. Pros: By far the best roll and yaw stability characteristics and expanded battery capacity (e.g for high latitudes where solar power is minimal). Keep a look out next week for some of the data we're collecting! 🌊

We can't get enough of these Nodus watch bezels! Would you wear a 3D printed watch? #3dprinter #3dprinting #noduswatches #watches #additivemanufacturing #rapidprototyping

Segmented maxilla with braces from a cbct image. removed streaking artefacts. managed to get a good maxillary model with braces. 3d printed the maxillary model with perfection and smooth finish.
