With laser Sintering models are printed layer by layer by a laser that draws thin lines in the powder. The powder that melts and bonds together forms a thin layer of the model. After a layer is printed, a new layer of fresh powder is spread over the surface by a roller. The printer has a print chamber that is heated up just below the melting point of the powder; the laser beam adds the extra energy to make the powder melt, forming a solid model. After a print job is finished the result is a big block of heated up powder with the printed models inside.

i.materialise takes a creme brulee torch to Sabic's Ultem 9085. Ultem is an advanced 3D printing material made for Stratasys FDM machines. The material has a low toxicity when burned, does not drip and is fire retardant. It is also very light and very strong. This material is certified for use within commercial aircraft. When watching the video remember, we're burning plastic and it keeps extinguishing itself!

This video is of a Materialise Mammoth, the worlds largest 3D printer. This family of 3D printers use a process called stereolithography. This is how that works: A 3D model of your design is what will be 3D printed. This 3D model is sliced by the 3D printing software and sent to the 3D printer. This machine, in this case a stereolithography machine, then uses a computer controlled laser to draw the bottom cross section onto the surface of a liquid polymer that hardens where struck by the laser. The part is then lowered to a depth corresponding to the section's thickness. The next cross section is then drawn directly on top of the previous one. This is repeated until the part is finished. The supports are removed manually after the product is taken from the machine.

With Z Corp's 3D Printing Technology, the printer builds a model up from bottom to top, layer by layer. A roller puts a thin layer of powder on a platform and a print head sprays tiny drops of glue at specific places, printing a thin layer of your model. The platform lowers and the roller spreads another layer of powder. Coloring is done by combining 4 different pre-colored glues to match the requested surface color.

Objet's patented PolyJet inkjet technology works by jetting photopolymer materials in ultra-thin layers onto a build tray layer by layer until the model is completed. Each photopolymer layer is cured by UV light immediately after it is jetted, producing fully cured models that can be handled and used immediately, without post-curing. The gel-like support material, which is specially designed to support complicated geometries, can easily removed by hand and water jetting.

Aidan Chopra, SketchUp Evangelist and John Bacus, the Product Manager for SketchUp, were invited to the Materialise World Conference 2010 in Belgium to give a keynote speech. Unfortunately, the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland prevented them from getting there. Instead, they made a great presentation which was shown at the conference. "Everyone agrees that the future of visualization is 3D -- there's simply no better way to communicate spatial information than spatially. Democratic tools like SketchUp and Google Earth are helping laypeople to understand this, but 3D remains a challenging hurdle for most. The difficulty lies on two fronts: the creation of 3D content and the means by which we interact with it. Making a model and showing it off should be as easy as taking a picture and passing it around. What do we need to do to make 3D as ubiquitous as other forms of media?"

Have you always wanted to understand 3D printing? Well...we've thought about that and have made an animation showing you how 3D printing works. There are actually several 3D printing technologies and this animation shows you the Selective Laser Sintering process from start to finish. With Selective Laser Sintering a fine powder is laid down. The laser then hardens the powder that will become the very bottom layer of your object. The rest of the powder remains in powder form. A new layer of powder is applied and the process repeats itself. Your model is then lifted out from all the loose powder and cleaned.

Vormgevers (Designers) is an 8 episode series about 10 Flemish designers. During a period of one year, a camera crew was allowed to follow Stefan Schöning, elected Designer of the Year in 2008. In this piece of video you'll see how one of Schöning's prototypes is 3D printed on a Materialise Mammoth stereolithography machine (at 4:20).

After working for years in wax and resin, for the last year I've been working extensively on digital sculptures which are then 'materialized' with the technique called 'rapid manufacturing'. For me, the 3D-printing technique gives me a limitless freedom in almost instantly materializing the images I have in my mind. Attached there are some examples of the sculptures I exhibited with great success (three of four were sold) at an art manifestation in my hometown Haarlem (The Netherlands).

The principle of Fused Deposition Modeling is simple. You can compare it with a hot glue gun in which you put sticks of glue. The glue is heated up to the temperature that it melts and pushed through a fine nozzle in the front of the glue gun. In an FDM printer, no glue is used but a long plastic wire as basic material. It is fed by a spool to the nozzle where the material is also liquefied and 'drawn' on the platform where it immediately becomes hard again. The nozzle is steered in the XY direction to drop the material at the correct location, drawing your model line by line. After a layer is drawn, the platform lowers by one layer thickness so the printer can start with the next layer. When your model contains overhanging sections, the printer needs to build supporting material. Since the material of the model cannot be deposited in the air, the support material prevents it from falling down. This support material is fed through another nozzle. Afterwards when the model is put into a bath with special soap, the support material dissolves.
