What is the “Next Wave” of 3D Printing?

February 18, 2014

Over the past few years we have heard, “3D printing is cool, but I don’t really know how that translates to real world stuff”. Here’s how some of our Afiniacs are pushing the boundaries of their industries and hobbies:

Vadym Chalenko

Graphic designer, illustrator, protyper, and product designer extraordinaire. Owner and creator of the Beastgrip. Just finished shipping the last of his 600 Kickstarter orders, made from 10,000+ 3D printed components.

Robert Hughes

Designer, prototyper, and fishing lure industry innovator. Owner of Lucky Bug Lures, a family-run business located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Bob has revolutionized the fishing lure industry by releasing several new lures each season, as opposed to a new lure every few years.

Glen Risberger

Designer and creator of robots (enough said). Mentors a First Robotics team in suburban Portland, OR. Has his Afinia on-hand for last-minute design revisions and repairs during his students’ robotics competitions.

 

Are you a technical professional that uses the Afinia 3D printer? We’d like to hear from you. Or, has this post inspired you to research how 3D printing can benefit your field?

We’re here to answer your questions – Monday-Friday  8am to 4pm (CST). Give us a call 888.215.3966
