The Latest news in 3d printing
The Bambu Lab Vortek System is a revolutionary new technology designed to achieve true multi-material and multi-colour 3D printing with virtually zero filament waste. It solves the problem of "purging"—the wasteful process of flushing out a nozzle with new plastic to avoid colour contamination—by fundamentally rethinking how a printer handles different materials.
Zeng Hao, a dedicated toy designer, struggled for years to bring his unique visions to life due to the limitations of traditional manufacturing. Recognising a gap for personalised, high-quality toys, he envisioned an agile 3D printing solution. In May 2023, he founded JinQi, starting with a few consumer-grade 3D printers in his apartment. This quickly scaled under his leadership to becoming the world's largest 3D print farm!
3D Printing was at the forefront of the fourth Industrial Revolution. With the explosion of low-cost 3D printers, the possibilities 3D Printing could bring to the classroom seemed endless. However, in reality, 3D printers are machines that need to be monitored and require tweaking and maintenance. As an educator, this requires a skill set, time, and resources.
But today, we head into a new era…Welcome to Industry 5.0.
