Need something to help pass the time during this quarantine? We decided to select for you the most inspiring Ted Talks about additive manufacturing! All of these inspiring AM leaders share their experiments with 3D printing and show us the great opportunities offered by this cutting-edge technology. From medical 3D printing to electronic possibilities, you will see that the potential of 3D printing might be way more impressive than you would think.
Artec Ambassador Central Scanning took part in a remarkable project to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. Bringing together volunteers dressed in authentic World War II allied uniforms, the 3D scanning specialists at Central Scanning digitally captured them in various poses in minutes using Artec Leo, a professional handheld 3D scanner for creating incredibly lifelike 3D models of objects of all kinds. The scans were then used to make plaster molds, from which award-winning garden designer John Everiss created his intricate metal sculptures from hundreds of precisely-welded washers. The end result is a Normandy clifftop installation of ghost-like figures that appear to be dissolving into thin air.
3D Build & Play is the world’s first 3D printing product for ages 4+. From the maker of the award winning 3Doodler Start, 3D Build & Play brings together the power of 3D creation and storytelling in a fun, easy to use way. Use the 3D Build & Play and special molds to create Jim the Giraffe and his friends, and read along with our specially written story and “pop-up” backgrounds as you take them on a journey from the jungle to the city, and back again. As a tactile learning toy, 3D Build & Play teaches fine motor skills, hand-on learning and three dimensional thinking, all while cranking away and having a ton of fun!

For Sergey Karyakin and his team at SNAG Racing, high-performance isn’t good enough. They use their Artec Eva to digitally capture a range of parts for their Can-Am Maverick X3 RS Turbo R and go from there. Using various CAD solutions, they take the 3D models created from Eva’s scans and modify these parts to be lighter, faster, and more durable. Then they 3D print or CNC mill them in the latest materials, including metal, carbon, Kevlar, etc. The result? Next-level performance and multiple trophies in cross-country races around the world.
