How Generative Design Has Radically Impacted Rapid Prototyping and Digital Manufacturing with Bruce Blaho

By Tracy and Tom Hazzard

WTFSS 16 | Generative Design

  If you’re keeping up with the 3D industry, you may have heard about generative design. It’s part of the evolution of the way things are made from 2D to 3D, and it’s the next big thing that’s giving designers the superpowers to make things. Bruce Blaho defines generative design as letting the computer do some of the heavy lifting in coming up with the ideas. Bruce is the Chief Technologist for HP’s Workstations global business unit where he is responsible for driving business growth via … [Read more...]

A 3D Print STEM Ambassador with Grant Mackenzie of CEL

By Tracy and Tom Hazzard

WTFFF 482 | STEM Ambassador

I have a great interview with Grant Mackenzie. He is the sales manager for CEL who does what I've referred to in the past as the CEL Robox 3D Printer. Those of you that have listened to Tracy and I for a long time know that we saw their CEL Robox 3D Printer at CES in 2016. That's more than eighteen months ago, January of 2016. We were very impressed with this 3D printer. We had arranged and we're told originally we were going to get a review unit. For one reason or another, just the … [Read more...]

3D Printing in Fashion with Stephania Stefanakou

By Tracy and Tom Hazzard

WTFFF 479 | 3D Printing in Fashion

I am excited to talk 3D printing in fashion today. I really actually enjoy whenever we research and look into fashion that is using 3D print technology because it offers so much opportunity. It’s usually very exciting and great stuff to look at. In this particular case, what I’m even more excited about is I thought when we’re first researching her, that this was just going to be like a real art couture stuff, which we’ve reviewed before. It’s always interesting to find out someone’s artistic … [Read more...]

3D Printing Outside the Build Plate

By Tracy and Tom Hazzard

WTFFF 242 | 3D Printing Outside the Build Plate

  The build plate is by far the most crucial part of any 3D printing machine. Creating something outside of it, something bigger that can be handled by the machine, makes its job more vital and, at the same time, remarkable. In this Tech Tuesday episode, Tom and Tracy Hazzard share something amazing that can be done in the 3D printing space, which is building outside the build plate. Autodesk’s Project Escher program has done 3D printing outside the build plate, and its ability to do so … [Read more...]
