Subterranean drone tackling food security wins The High-Temperature Carbon-Fiber 3D Printing Challenge
Based on the 'Crover Effect' for locomotion in granular media, the CROVER robot is able to move through bulk solids and powders. The team wins $25,000 of manufacturing support from Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials to take their design to the next level.
Studio Artefact specializes in “themed immersive experiences” uses 3D printing to create awe-inspiring structures and decorations. At present, Studio Artefact operates a fleet of six BigRep large-format 3D printers. The team works mainly with PETG, and has seen its horizons widen exponentially with each additional 3D printer installed. Prior to 3D printing, it would make most of its large structures with styrofoam sculpting, welding, and woodworking technique, which was painstaking and took much longer than 3D printing, placing a limit on productivity and profitability.
Read how Kawasaki Motors Corp.’s Lincoln, USA manufacturing facility saved up to 85% of costs on production tooling by optimizing automotive and aerospace production with BigRep’s large-format additive manufacturing systems. Kawasaki wasn’t a stranger to 3D printing before diving into large-format with their BigRep. By opting to invest in their own facility instead of depending on outsourcing, Kawasaki brought supply chains in house, streamlined engineering and logistical workflows, and returned their investment in just 6 months.
