The 3D Pioneers Challenge (3DPC) will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2025. Since its inception, the competition has established itself as one of the world’s leading platforms for innovation in additive manufacturing.
Digitization and visualization of machines are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT).
What became of it? How did it continue? What are the lessons learned? Experience finalist and winning projects from nine rounds of the 3D Pioneers Challenge in a special area at rapid.tech 3D.
Material-saving additive-manufactured lattice structures made from high-performance plastics will offer a variety of new applications for more efficient processes in the future.
Vacuum casting - an appropriate addition to 3D printing and injection molding for a quantity range of 100-1,000 pieces. Functionally suitable materials are processed (similar to injection molding granulates), which are also cast in the customer's RAL color - with manageable mold making cost.
Lattice structures, represent a fascinating application of additive manufacturing technology. They are characterized by their lightweight, resource-saving design
