RapMan Single Head 3D Printer with TurboCAD Deluxe 19

RapMan Single Head 3D Printer Kit Bring your 3D models and CAD drawings to life with the single-head RapMan 3.1 3D printer kit. Build this machine yourself and start creating prototypes, models, RC parts, toys…the list is endless!

BFB 3D printers are based on additive layer manufacturing (ALM) methods. Using thermoplastics, a BFB 3D printer heats the material through the extruder (or print head).

The extruder then pushes out a very fine plastic thread which is applied layer by layer according to x and y co-ordinates, building a solid, 3D object. A perfect machine for students, educators and hobbyists alike [Read more…] about RapMan Single Head 3D Printer with TurboCAD Deluxe 19

Micro-battery with 3D printer

3d printer news

The potential for 3D printing continues to grow and expand. Today it was announced that the researchers from Harvard and the University of Illinois may have produced a 3D-printed battery smaller than a grain of sand. The amazingly small powersource has areal energy and power densities comparable to that of your typical smart phone battery.

To achieve this marvel the team used a customized 3D printer with a 1mm wide nozzle to deposit two separate lithium metal oxide pastes into comb-like shapes, which then hardened to create an anode and cathode. The practical applications for a battery this small are incalculable. We may see fly size drones, wearable electronics (rings, bracelets, etc.)
