Warum 3D-gedrucktes Silikon?
Der nächste Schritt der 3D-Drucktechnologie – 3D-gedrucktes Silikon. Eigentlich wird Silikon spritzgegossen, aber durch innovative 3D-Drucktechnologie ergeben sich völlig neue Möglichkeiten.
Strength of 3D Printed Parts (Video)
Recently published via our Twitter channel, this short video didn’t yet find its way here. For the sake of completeness enjoy the following demo and get a glimpse of potential part strength with additive FFF 3D printing technology: Albeit not with pure scientific approach, the results are remarkable after all! You may recognize the tested…
New Product: 400°C Print Heads Option
By default the RepRap Industrial 3D Printer is equipped with two full-metal print heads capable of up to 300°C operating temperature for a wide range of excellent 3D printing materials. These include thermoplastics like ABS, PLA, HIPS, PET, TPE, various composites and even PA12. For the really high performance plastics, though, we now have you covered…
4 Easy Steps to Start Printing with Soluble Support Material (Video)
Just in time for this year’s trade show season, we have finalized our soluble support material workflow as promised earlier. To start off the following video will give you a quick walkthrough of a dual extrusion print with ABS model material and HIPS supports on the RepRap Industrial 3D Printer. We highly recommend to give…
Another Sample? ABS + Soluble Support
This is a chain link, obviously, and no matter how it is turned it will always be rounded at the bottom. No chance for some clever orientation for 3D printing, no chance to sail around support material necessity. Still, models like this one are expeted to come out evenly round and accurate on all surfaces…
Soluble Support Material for ABS Models is here! Live on Show at Rapid.Tech 2015, June 10-11 in Erfurt/Germany
Remember the diligently promoted jaw-dropping advantages of 3D printing? The promise of beeing able to literally print anything, at least any shape and geometry that may even be unthinkable with common means of manufacturing? Sure it’s all mathematically provable if you don’t mind diggin‘ into Fubini’s theorem for verification, but still there’s this ubiquitous gap…
Improvements for Break-Away Support Structures with ABS Material
We recently challenged our team with a number of sophisticated, organic 3D models to print and further optimize our default slicing profiles in regard to break-away support performance. Since well working support structures can be considered the holy grail of the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, improvements in this field are on top of…
Behold the new Slic3r v1.2.0-experimental
The latest version of Slic3r presents some fantastic new features like the 3D- and Tool-path previews or the incremental real-time slicing. Read more at http://slic3r.org/releases/1.2.0 We have tested the new functions with the beta-version and once more doff our hats to Alessandro and his co-authors. This new version is a great improvement, although some…
New Release: RepRap Industrial v1.1.0
The latest production run beeing finished in our factory these days already incorporates the most up-to-date features and improvements we developed over the past weeks for our Kühling&Kühling RepRap Industrial 3D printer, hence the sources have been updated accordingly on our GitHub repository. Lucky you, in case you are currently waiting for your RepRap Industrial to…
From Prototype to Production
After the typical time of pre-production, in which there is naturally little to report about outward visible successes and progress, we are back with an update on our RepRap Industrial 3D printer. Over the last few weeks we certainly must have experienced 90% of what is said to be the inevitable challenges a startup has…
