Mighty Buildings Takes in $22M to Advance Construction 3D Printing https://ift.tt/3l0zxn3 Mighty Buildings has just added another $22 million to its Series B funding round, during which it had already raised $40 million. In total, the Oakland, California startup has collected $100 million since it was founded in 2017. This will allow the company to continue to drive additive construction, a new, but quickly growing industry segment. Mighty Buildings is an innovative firm in the construction 3D printing space, not only because it has already begun numerous projects and partnered with housing development firms to quickly deploy the technology, but because its technology is unique. Unlike every other cement printing company, Mighty Buildings does not simply extrude a quick-drying form of concrete on-site. Instead, it uses a proprietary material that includes a photopolymer resin that is cured during the printing process to produce composite elements that are shipped to the building site, where they are assembled. With this process, the startup claims that it can 3D print homes “two times as quickly with 95% less labor hours and 10-times less waste” in comparison to traditional construction techniques. Mighty Buildings says that it can 3D print a 350-square-foot studio apartment in just a day.
So far, Mighty Buildings has 3D printed numerous accessory dwelling units (ADUs), but the company aims to use its investment to initiate the construction of multistory buildings, beginning with two-to-three-story single family homes and townhouses. This the startup hopes will result in its first prototype multistory building in late 2022 or early 2023, according to Ruben.
With the extra funds, the firm believes it will be able to enhance its supply chain and speed up its research and development, including achieving “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2028. While this would be about 22 years ahead of the larger construction industry, according to Mighty Buildings, the concept of net zero emissions is always a problematic one. Typically stated as a vague goal, net zero emissions means that the amount of greenhouse gasses put out are cancelled out in one way or another, most often through carbon offsets or by future plans to rely on non-existent technologies, like carbon capture. To achieve net-zero emissions, Mighty Buildings has said that it will establish micro factories that are “high-throughput, sustainable”, speed up “blue skies” research, develop composites featuring recycled or bio-based materials, and create partnerships in the supply chain. Exactly what the micro factories look like and how they contribute to reduced emissions hasn’t been specified, but the company has said that they will be able to produce 200 to 300 homes annually. These factories would be built where gaps in housing currently exist. From a degrowth perspective, the most sustainable method for achieving zero emissions and affordable housing simultaneously would be to repurpose existing, unused buildings and decommodify the housing industry. Nevertheless, Mighty Buildings is forward-thinking for the construction industry, already catching onto the modular, prefab trend that seems necessary for bringing repeatability and predictability to the sector. Given the huge impact of the industry on the ecosystem, any improvements it can bring to sustainable production could have an important impact on its carbon footprint. As a small firm in an emerging segment within a huge market, it is already showing promise from a financial standpoint. The company claims that it has over $7. Million in total contracted revenue in Q2 of 2021. Printing via 3DPrint.com | The Voice of 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing https://3dprint.com July 27, 2021 at 07:36AM

Luxexcel Announces Platform for 3D Printing Prescription Lenses for Smartglasses https://ift.tt/3zJjbmP Dutch company Luxexcel, said to be the world’s only technology provider for 3D printed commercial lenses, wants to speed up adoption of consumer smart eyewear. To do so, the company aims to meet the eyewear needs of over 75% of the world’s adult population needing prescription lenses by using its patented 3D printing manufacturing VisionPlatform. This month, the company announced the next generation, VisionPlatform 7, which enables businesses to print prescription lenses for smartglasses in their own facilities. The technology-agnostic platform integrates a full suite of solutions for 3D printing prescription smart eyewear, and was created based on customer needs for high-performing, flexible manufacturing systems, as well as market demand.
The new VisionPlatform 7 includes several new features that are centered around 3D printing prescription lenses for smartglasses that are thin, lightweight, and can also be used in commercial frames. These features include:
VisionPlatform 7 integrates many different objects during 3D printing, like liquid crystal foils and waveguides, in order to create its prescription smart lenses. The platform includes everything users need to print lenses for smartglasses on-demand, including proprietary materials, advanced software, processes, and hardware, and it also features optimized printing processes, which make it possible to fabricate features that are difficult, or even impossible, to create with more traditional forms of lens making, like micro lenses and the necessary air gaps for waveguides.
With the ability to print prescription lenses for smartglasses, thanks to the new VisionPlatform 7, designers will enjoy flexibility to create the eyewear products they want, and companies will be able to speed up any Augmented Reality (AR) eyewear projects. Speaking of AR eyewear, this new product launch comes on the back of Luxexcel’s successful product demo earlier in the year, which showed how you can combine a waveguide, prescription lens, and a projector in a chic device—three important elements to AR smartglasses—to create a 3D printed prescription lens. In its “Markets for 3D Printing Eyewear 2021“ report, SmarTech Analysis projected that yearly revenue opportunities in the 3D printed eyewear industry would likely amount to $2.26 billion by 2030, with overall revenues predicted to be more than $5 billion a year.

Maschine Dinamo https://ift.tt/3zFMbMy Two companies that we’ve got a hell of a lot of time for—type foundry Dinamo and Native Instruments, which makes audio production software and hardware—have come together, at last, creating the limited-edition Maschine Dinamo. The piece is a limited-edition version of NI’s Maschine, a swish bit of kit that works as a beatmaker, drum machine, sequencer, sampler, synth, audio interface and more. Dinamo was brought in to create bespoke typography for the Maschine, which serves as both functional usage tools and striking decoration. The collaboration came about in part thanks to the product’s hardware designer Johannes Schroth’s suggestion around emphasising the typography on the Maschine, since there’s a fair bit of it around the labelling of various functions and buttons. Schroth had met Johannes Breyer, Swiss co-founder of Berlin/Basel type foundry Dinamo at a dinner party. Since the foundry already had a product arm Dinamo Hardware (which usually sells things like t-shirts and key chains), and the fact that Dinamo’s Fonte have been used by clients including Discord and Warp Records, it felt like a match made in heaven. Breyer and Schroth landed on the Dinamo typeface Whyte for the project thanks to its mister of modernity and anachronistic idiosyncrasies. These nuances are born of the fact that the typeface plays with the notion of ink traps, which are usually associated with the bleed from rudimentary printing techniques, but places them delibertaltyey in letterforms printed digitally. “Today, with high-res screens and modern printing, you don’t need ink traps – everything is super sharp. So we wanted to look again at ink traps through the lens of modern technology,” Breyer told Native Instruments. Dinamo’s focus on variable fonts and the idea of the adaptability of letterforms also cam into play in the project, “from the huge, squared-off M shape that sandwiches the the hardware, to the ‘ticker tape’ running around its edge and the tiny labels on each button and pad,” as NI puts it. Taking advantage of Whyte’s vast character set, the Maschine Dinamo also bears some special glyphs, like the Korean brackets on the Swing and Tempo buttons, and Maschine’s standard left and right arrows have been replaced with distinctively ink-trapped equivalents. Schroth has said that the typeface reminds him of “graffiti bubbles. Those characters often have intense cuts in them – especially with the white, silver, and black. That’s also a little bit of a reference to classic hip hop–inspired products, like the JVC Boomblasters and Casio G-Shocks.” Photos: Kasia Zacharko Printing via People of Print https://ift.tt/2DhgcW7 July 27, 2021 at 06:04AM USPS will issue Backyard Games Forever stamps Aug. 12 https://ift.tt/3bxIa3X July 26, 2021 Endless Amusement to be Featured on U.S. Postage Stamps

Castor Beans Making Sustainable 3D Printed Eyewear Possible https://ift.tt/3lb8mX1 Since 197 countries ratified the Paris Agreement, the residential and commercial sectors claim to be working together to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. A significant portion of emissions derives from industrial manufacturing, driven by consumerism. It is often claimed that consumers can vote with their dollars. In some minor cases, recent ecological concerns have diverted the production drive away from instant gratification towards sustainability. Various companies have developed innovative manufacturing techniques, decreasing the environmental impacts of their practices. Fast Fashion and Environmental DegradationResearchers are publishing the challenges associated with the fast fashion industry. Water pollution is a significant issue sustainable firms work to decrease. Old fashion businesses have developed clothing and accessory materials from organic cotton. Today, corporations utilize synthetic fabrics, decreasing their water use and reliance on agriculture. The materials contain plastic, distributing 700,000 microscopic pieces into the water in a washing machine. A portion of the microplastics pollutes the ocean through mismanaged wastewater systems. The plastic pieces never degrade; instead, they keep dividing into smaller sections. Marine life consumes the materials, impairing their health and limiting reproduction abilities. The microplastics work their way up the food chain until humans consume them. Microplastic pollution also derives from inefficient manufacturing practices. When factories rely on human power for production, accidents may occur. Corporations typically dispose of damaged products rather than repurposing them. In the landfill, the fabrics degrade and the plastics leach into the soil. Poorly managed factories also generate high greenhouse gas emissions. The global energy supply derives most of its power from oil. During combustion, the fuel source generates atmospherically degrading greenhouse gas emissions. Manufacturing facilities also utilize pesticide and synthetic fertilizer-produced materials. During the production stage, these materials cause toxic runoff and eutrophication. High carbon emission rates and waste production decrease the sustainability of fast fashion. To address this issue in their own small way, eyewear manufacturer Vava and the Japanese architect behind the Tokyo Olympic National Stadium, Kengo Kuma, have developed eco-conscious products and manufacturing techniques, limiting consumers’ reliance on harmful goods. A Biodegradable SolutionVava challenges the ecological issues associated with fast fashion by utilizing sustainable materials, generating sunglasses from castor beans grown on Indian farms. Unlike conventional plastic glasses, the eco-friendly material is biodegradable, decreasing microplastic waste. Additionally, the beans offer a closed-loop production system. Professionals extract castor oil from the beans, using the excess material for product development. They use the oil as fuel for the manufacturing facility’s 3D printers. Vava can further the sustainability of its practices by incorporating eco-consciousness on castor bean farms. Using permaculture, farmers can utilize plant species diversity for waste reduction. They can plant hybrid crops throughout their fields, naturally resisting pest damage and limiting their pesticide use. The sustainable farming method reduces runoff production and eutrophication, preserving freshwater sources. Farmers can limit water exploitation by installing a rainwater harvesting system. The device collects rainwater and runoff, repurposing it for irrigation. Low-Impact ManufacturingThe sustainable sunglass brand additionally uses low-impact manufacturing processes, reducing atmospheric and surface-level pollution. Rather than overproducing products, Vava uses 3D printers, developing goods based on real-time demands. The production method decreases resource exploitation, limiting unnecessary waste. The 3D printers rely on a strategic algorithm, eliminating error. Efficient and accurate production measures also decrease waste generated from product damage. With fewer damaged items, companies can limit microplastic pollution. 3D printers can also work with smaller, lightweight materials that are challenging for humans. The materials decrease a company’s reliance on mining and fossil fuel-derived energy. Increased energy efficiency reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Eco-Conscious DesignsThe sunglasses’ designs distribute a message of sustainability. The architect working on the project, Kengo Kuma, believes in supporting the environment with production rather than degrading it. Vava utilizes his theme of ecocentric harmony by improving the sustainable style of sunglasses. Both designs display resource minimalism and eco-consciousness. One pair offers a woven look, projecting its connection to agriculture. Unlike synthetic materials, the castor bean production is similar to cotton manufacturing. It combines ecocentric, cyclical ideals with modern production. The other design displays a wooden structure look. It connects the articles to holistic building practices. Rather than projecting a certification or sustainability label, the company uses its creative design to relay its eco-conscious message. Connecting the materials, production and design to environmental conservation generates a modern fashion norm. The company develops sustainable sunglasses to better the environment rather than greenwashing their practices. The World of Sustainable FashionAs the global temperature rises, eco-consumer rates will continuously expand. The fashion industry can meet sustainability demands by adopting low-impact production processes. Limiting material use, decreasing plastic production and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions can significantly shrink the industry’s footprint. In the coming years, we can expect corporate fashion production to decrease as smaller manufacturers enhance their profitability. The renewable energy industry may also support fashion development, reducing emissions further. Over time, sustainability measures can protect the environment from adverse climate change effects.

Shine On: Trumpf Sales Stay Level at €3.5 Billion for 2020 https://ift.tt/3y7XgFB Laser, machine tools and 3D printing company Trumpf reported that sales stayed level at €3.5 billion. The company’s largest markets were Germany (€580 million), China (€525 million), US (€485 million) and the Netherlands (€460 million). You’re perhaps wondering how teeny-tiny Netherlands ranks so high in Trumpf’s sales numbers. This is due to Dutch company ASML buying Trumpf CO2 laser systems for its EUV Fab technology. All told, the company made €309 million in profit. The company reported that it saw 3.9 billion in orders come in. Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller, Chairwoman of the TRUMPF Group Executive Board, stated, “We have started the new fiscal year with stable sales and very good incoming orders. They result, among other things, from strong economic impulses from China, which come from electronics applications and the demand for our lasers for electromobility. However, there is also an unmistakable upturn in the economy in Europe, which we are registering in the machine tool sector. Nevertheless, uncertainty remains as to how the stability of global supply chains and the handling of the coronavirus pandemic will develop.” The firm seems to be doing exceedingly well, given the circumstances. This makes their sale of a controlling interest in One Click Metal even more remarkable. If it was not needed, why not just sell a smaller stake and then control a company that could effectively cannibalize your own 3D printing offering? In other 3D printing developments at Trumpf, the company now has the small TruPrint1000 machine, one small system for copper, then a TruPrint2000, a TruPrint3000, and a TruPrint5000. It also offers powder management tools and DED systems. Its TruLaserCell 3000 is complemented by a deposition system meant for production lines. Now, on the TruPrint 1000. The printer can automatically remove a build plate and begin printing with a new one. The finished parts are then removed and stacked in the overflow area of the machine, meaning that a single printer can do multiple builds unaided through the weekend or night. Given its experience in cutting tools, machine tools generally, and lasers, the company should be doing more really. It also makes VCSELs and laser diodes, the key technology that, if improved, would enable a two-million-laser technology from Seurat to work, for example. Trumpf seems to have spent a decade on the pool stairs, dipping its toes in. Given the firm’s heft and expertise, it should have a leading role in the 3D printing industry. It is a leader in most of the key components, has many of the customers that would want a 3D printer, and has almost all of the experience that is needed. I can only assume that the company still believes that the Langer family will eventually sell EOS to it. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me. Because, on the one hand, they must be spending a lot of money making a lineup in systems, but, on the whole, I don’t seem them making headway in terms of excitement, sales or capabilities. They do engineer handy items and features, but the stuff that AddUp is doing to make their machines more production ready is more useful. Trumpf also doesn’t seem to be entering into the laser wars with Farsoon’s eight-laser, Additive Industries’ 10-laser or SLM Solutions 12-laser launches. And these folks make the lasers! So, is Trumpf simply using the fact that they’re family-owned to give themselves a ten-year perspective and solid long-term plan? Or is the company up to something else? Are these machines simply development work? And is the company really working on a diode laser system? Trumpf’s Tru Diode laser machines are reportedly used in additive and the company uses them for the TruLaser DED systems. The company also makes VCSELs. Its VCSEL infrared power units are used in part heating and welding, as well. Is the company just getting the basic processing of powder down before it leaps into a two-million laser system of some kind? If it could preheat specific parts and areas and then print the entire layer at once with its own technology and knowledge, it could have one hell of an entrance into the metal 3D printing market. Is that what they’re up to? Printing via 3DPrint.com | The Voice of 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing https://3dprint.com July 26, 2021 at 08:06AM

Prince’s Shoe Collection Gets 3D Printed Tribute at Paisley Park https://ift.tt/2WlrB5I Prince passed onto the next dimension five years ago, but, to his biggest fans, it still feels like yesterday that they lost one of the greatest U.S. musicians in modern history. His transcendental lyrics, riffs, beats, and melodies combined to create music that combined pop with something akin to spirituality. While the artist may not be with us any longer, his presence is still with us. In addition to a massive discography, Prince’s Paisley Park residence, studio, and music venue in Chanhassen, Minnesota has been converted into a museum open for public tours. The latest addition to that site is called “The Beautiful Collection”, a new, limited-time exhibit that will display over 300 pairs of the artist’s iconic shoes. To pay homage to the massive collection, Stratasys was contracted to 3D print two extensive pieces that have yet to be publicly unveiled. For that reason, we don’t have images of the works, but will update this article as soon as Prince’s estate grants rights to show them publicly. One such piece was a 3D printed grand piano display case, featuring legs designed to replicate Prince’s famous Cloud Guitar. The piece is composed of 45 individual pieces, 3D printed with both fused deposition modeling (FDM) and PolyJet. The guitar is representative of the unpronounceable “love symbol” that the artist changed his name to in 1993 when he fought over Warner Bros. for co-opting his birth name, Prince. To replicate the guitars, the team captured 250 scans of Prince’s Cloud Guitar, a process that took nine hours before 50 additional hours were needed to finish the design. The legs were then 3D printed in nylon 12-carbon fiber over the course of 63 hours on a Stratasys F900 printer, necessary for the large shape. Additionally, the 3D printing stalwart produced a 9’ x 9’ image of the artist, which it is calling the largest 3D printed canvas. The work is made up of 56 pieces of white denim jetted with over 347,000 PolyJet dots, no two of which are the same. PolyJet is capable of printing more than 500,000 combinations of colors, textures, gradients, and transparencies down to the micron level. While we have seen PolyJet 3D printed onto fabric, this is the largest application of the technology in this way. Combined, the two works took 751 hours to print, with 40.1 lb (18.2 kg) of PolyJet resin and 2,150 cubic units of FDM material. The canvas project required 76 hours of continuous printing, with each dot a clear spherical cell with layers of color contained inside. There is strong potential for 3D printing in the world of fabrics, but competition in the space is still limited. In addition to Stratasys, Kornit Digital and Voxel8 are the only two companies that I am aware of marketing technologies for jetting resin onto clothing. The piano required 50 hours of design work to produce 38 FDM, nylon 12-carbon fiber structural parts using Stratasys F900 and Fortus 450 machines. ASA Black covers were additionally printed. Seven PolyJet parts were made from VeroUltra white and VeroUltra black to replicate the piano keys and a decal on the guitar that would have been otherwise impossible to make. The final piece measures 61” x 84” x 44”. As a die-hard Prince fan, I cannot resist a tour of Paisley Park. The impetus to go there is now even stronger and, while there are probably even more dedicated admirers that would put me to shame, few will be able to have the same love of both Prince and 3D printing as I do.

Memori Prints https://ift.tt/3eYCVuR Vincent Handford is a graphic designer, screen printing obsessee, and the face behind Memori Prints. Under this pseudonym Vincent produces his own range of limited edition screen prints, utilising his background in design to combine striking colours, patterns and images. He also produces one-off commissions and screen prints of artwork for other artists and designers. A graduate in Graphic Design from Plymouth College of Art, for the past 5 years, Vincent has worked in an art working/graphic design role for a vinyl record and CD producer. Vincent first discovered screen printing and felt inspired to learn more about the technique after seeing screen printed posters at gigs and festivals. He is currently in the process of making the change to self employment, with screen printing becoming his full-time job. Memori Prints is all about treasuring memories. In our modern world where many of our memories are digital and saved as jpegs, social media posts, or video files, Vincent creates limited physical prints utilising photography, bright colours, and collage. His process usually begins with sketching out an idea and then building the layers up on his Mac. Sometimes, he photographs something that he finds eye-catching and will then build the design around it. Alternatively, Vincent also utilises old family photos or photos of people he knows. Using the medium of collage he combines images, patterns, and shapes to create something new and unexpected. Vincent is looking forward to refining and experimenting with his screen printing practice, with the hope of creating some posters for gigs and festivals in the future. www.memoriprints.com Shop Memori Prints’ collection on Department Store here.
