Topic: On-Demand Manufacturing TrendsIoT + 3D Printing = Mass Customization
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents an opportunity for objects to learn from us and become responsive to our needs in the moment. But that data can also affect the design of the next generation products around us. Companies can provide mass customization using 3D printing as the driving technology.
Read ArticleManufacturing Impact: Winergy’s Functional, 3D Printed Gear Drive Model
In wind power, as in most maturing industries, it is increasingly difficult to stand out among the service providers. Winergy produces the world’s largest offshore turbine and gearbox. They were looking for a way to display the complex gear mechanisms that are used to translate the wind energy into electric power within the turbine. They commissioned 3YOURMIND to create a 3D printed model of the gear drive.

Read ArticleHow to Leverage 3D Printing in Dental and Medical Industries
How to combine existing and innovating technology to improve quality, and reduce costs of medical supplies. Medical costs are one of the major problems that societies face, especially in countries with aging populations. One of the biggest cost considerations for medical and dental solutions is producing small batch custom parts that are adjusted to patient's unique body form.
Read ArticleCombining 3D Printing and a self powered Internet of Things
Global electronics distributor and online community, element14 has partnered with 3YOURMIND to provide a customizable, 3D printable switch for the EnOceanSwitch Design Kit. The partnership between the 3 companies allows the ideas developed for the Internet of Things (IoT) to be seamlessly integrated into products with 3D printing. EnOcean has released the core design files - so makers can make simple adjustment and printing them via 3YOURMIND in over 150+ Materials and Finishes. The only limit to the final application is the imagination of the creator!
Read ArticleUtilizing 3D Printing Workflows in Architecture
3D Printing also offers several key “shortcuts” to streamline the presentation of architectural concepts and the development of new designs. Accessing these tools gives a streamlined method to present complex designs and makes small batch production much more feasible. The design and prototyping processes can have quicker iterations and higher accuracy with no additional cost.
Read ArticleHow is 3D Printing Affecting Architecture?
The craft of architecture is part of the wave of industries being reshaped by 3D Printing. While the press has been centered around large-format 3D Printing of office buildings in Dubaï, many fundamental, simple workflow changes are already being utilized within architecture firms to improve the speed of design iterations and quality of presentation detail. 3D printing allows for the complex forms of modern architecture to be easily created and refined as visual models prior to construction. Architecture firms that maximize the additive technologieswill be able better integrate visuals into presentations and understand additive manufacturing when it becomes applicable for architecture on a larger scale.
Read ArticleAthenaDiaX uses 3YOURMIND for wearables prototyping
As medical and sensing technologies become more accessible and more inexpensive, firms like AthenaDiaX are able to quickly implement wearable sensors into diagnostic devices for clinical trials. 3D Printing plays a key role in speeding up the process of making that data accessible. 3YOURMIND’s platform allows a streamlined workflow to have prototype and small-batch devices printed by professional vendors. The time which used to be spent on project management and production oversight can now be applied directly to development and implementation.
