Mykita Glasses “Manufactory” Makes State-of-the-Art Designs with SLS from 3D Systems

 

mykita glasses

Monday, March 24, 2014 – 09:44

There are glasses and then there are Mykitas. Each model of beautifully crafted Mykita glasses has a style and look all its own, and even a name (think Chester, Owen, Aretha and Faye) that makes each frame its own character.

 

This “manufactory” embodies the spirit of the new manufacturing revolution as they combine “precision craftsmanship with new technologies.” One of these new technologies is SLS 3D printing from 3D Systems, which Mykita uses to produce its Mykita Mylon line of sunglasses. These glasses boast “individual adjustability” with a sense of style for the mountaineer or the urban hiker, and the SLS system allows Mykita to produce the frames in virtually any geometrical configuration. (Image via mykita.com)

 

Mykita has already won an iF material award and a Red Dot design award for the manufacturing process of the Mylon collection and the product design, respectively.

Avi Reichental at TED2014 |

avi tedtalks

3D printing pioneer Avi Reichental is nostalgic for a time he never quite experienced — a time of hyper-local, made-to-order, personalized craftsmanship. While the industrial revolution did a lot to advance humanity, says Reichental, it eradicated local manufacturing that people like his grandfather, a cobbler, excelled in. It atrophied society’s craftsmanship skills.

 

But, says Reichental, there’s a revolution coming: a 3D printed one. And what’s interesting about it is not how it’s “going to catapult us into the future, but rather how it’s going to connect us to our heritage — into a new era of localized, distributed manufacturing.”

 

Reichental mentions a few of his favourite projects from the 3D printing world:

 

A beautiful body suit

Amanda Boxtel, who is paralyzed from the waist down, could already stand and walk thanks to her exo-bionic legs and suit, but she wanted something inspired by her body, made to measure. She challenged Reichental to make something more elegant, feminine and lightweight, so he built her a beautiful suit. Amanda finally had an opportunity to regain her symmetry and her authenticity.

Personalized medical devices

Reichental shows custom-made 3D-printed ventilated scoliosis braces, dental restorations and in-ear hearing aides. He holds up a sleek and beautiful 3D-printed brace for a leg amputee.

 

Food

For the first time it’s possible to print incredible (and edible!) delights, like a TED(dy) bear Reichental presents on stage. He says, “What if we could begin to put ingredients, colours, flavours in every taste?” Says Reichental, that means the promise of personalized nutrition is right around the corner.

avi ted shoes

The most exciting thing about 3D printing is that complexity is free. Says Reichental, “The printer doesn’t care whether it makes the most rudimentary or most complex shape.” And hopefully, it will make manufacturers out of all of us.

The Next Step in Rapid Prototyping: Rapid Production |

 ian_finnno_3ds_logo

Today we’re checking in with Ian Finn, president of Finnovation Product Development in Rochester, N.Y., who recently acquired a 3D Systems sProSLS® system. It seems the new machine has added an extra dimension to his manufacturing capabilities in that he can now take on clients who require strong end-use parts in as little as a few days. (Above: Ian with his sPro)

 

“The sPro SLS 3D printer takes rapid prototyping to the next level: rapid production,” he says in his blog. “This technology puts Finnovation Product Development’s Rapid Production capabilities in the ranks alongside General Motors, Boeing, and Burton Snowboards (to name a few) and allows production of durable prototype or end-use parts that can be delivered in days.”

 

He goes on:

Having the latest in SLS Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Production technology in house allows Finnovation to meet demanding deadlines and provide cost effective solutions while streamlining any design and manufacturing process. Based in Rochester New York, Finnovation Product Development operates around the clock, 7 days a week, to truly make this technology a “rapid” solution.

3D Printing: Rise of the 3rd Industrial Revolution Free! |

the-rise-of-the-3rd-industrial-revolution

 

In 2014, 3D printing will go mainstream with a new book called 3D Printing: Rise of the Third Industrial Revolution. The book scrutinizes what this will mean for the world and the future of humanity. 3D Printing: Rise of the Third Industrial Revolution by Aaron Council and Michael Petch will go far beyond headlines like the story of 3D printed guns and graphically illustrate how 3D printing will change the world.

 

The authors thoroughly examine the history, the current market and the future of 3D printing. Themes explored in the book include how 3D printing is used in next-generation game consoles such as the Xbox One and how combining these technologies can create a robot. A discussion on the impact of 3D printing on medicine and healthcare is covered in depth, including how 3D printing will allow drugs to be downloaded from the Internet and printing using common household materials.

 

“The authors, Aaron Council, the founder and CEO of the Gyges3D.com online community, and Michael Petch, the CEO of Black Dog Consulting, explore how 3D printing is likely to change the current economic system for the better. The importance of the technology for the future of society and how it will create jobs in both the U.S and the developing world is given a detailed chapter. Political and social implications of 3D printing such as a reduction in materialism and even an end to conflict are all explored as by-products of this remarkable technology”

 

3D printing: Rise of the 3rd Industrial Revolution” is available as a free download from Amazon for a limited time.

Making Your Phone Your “Canvas” of Self Expression |

project ara

In November 3D Systems announced an exciting multi-year development agreement with Motorola in support of the cellphone maker’s new concept: Project Ara.

 

Project Ara aims to redefine the cell phone as a functionally and aesthetically customizable device within an open hardware ecosystem. It changes the phone into the ultimate self-expressive device. The system works via a series of modules that insert into the cell phone in whatever configuration best fits the individual. As part of this mission, 3D Systems will support Motorola with the functionality, sustainability, personalization and material versatility that only 3D printing can fulfill.

 

Project Ara encapsulates two exponential technologies, and through this partnership 3D Systems will develop the new materials and 3D printing technologies that forever alter each individual’s relationship with his or her phone.
