3D Printing & Digital Manufacturing
New frontiers in robotics materials.
An engineer's guide to understanding the state of the art in hardware, materials, and the future of robotics manufacturing.
From its Tuscan headquarters, footwear manufacturer Tre Zeta Group creates soles for classic shoes and sneakers using 3D printing centering jigs for its carding process. The team chose the BCN3D Epsilon W50 for its advantageous IDEX technology and material Tough PLA for its top-tier mechanical properties. Our partner CREA3D did an exploration with a camera in tow to see the benefits for themselves!
