Verbatim, part of the Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group, has launched a high-performance water-soluble support material, Butenediol Vinyl Alcohol Co-polymer (BVOH), for quick and successful printing of complex objects with overhangs using dual extrusion 3D printers.

During a Maker Faire in Hong Kong, Mr Voykin discovered a project by an organization called “e-Nnable” which is a community made up of individuals from all over the world who create free 3D printed hands, arms and fingers for those who were either born without or lost upper limbs due to war, disease or natural disasters.

One technology that is often referred to in the context of additive manufacturing and 3D printing is engineering simulation. In contrast to additive manufacturing – which can directly create physical products from virtual designs – engineering simulation allows engineering professionals to virtually investigate the behavior of products and assemblies.
