Unlingen的骑手使用概念激光技术从地面上升起
概念激光MLAB CUSISE粉末床融合技术已被用来复制从德国凯尔特人墓地发现的青铜遗物。Unlingen的骑手据信已有近2800年的历史，这是一个极为罕见的发现，代表了骑着阿尔卑斯山以北的骑马最古老的描述之一。
With the replica, Concept Laser opens up the research possible with such an object. Nicole Ebinger-Rist, head conservator at the Baden-Württemberg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, comments,
It’s simply overwhelming. 3D printing is a wild technology. Every archeological find has it’s own magic, especially when they are as unique as the “Rider of Unlingen.” When you’re holding a reproduction which resembles the original one-to-one, it’s a very special thing, and very important for further research. Whole new possibilities are being opened up to curators, conservators and scientists.
概念激光M2 Cusing machines are also to be equipped withGE’s Predix technology，，，，allowing customers to remotely monitor machines. A similar productivity initiative has also recently been launched by3D Systems, incoporating PTC’s ThingWorx platform into its 3D printers.
Poland’s FIBERLABs launch new high performance 3D printer filament
FIBERLAB’s Fiberology filament range has a new addition in Fiberflex 40D. In addition to flexibility, the material is capable of resisting temperature fluctuations from -40 °C up to 70°C.
ITRI揭示了供电的大型金属3D打印平台
Taiwan’s government-funded在dustrial Technology Research Institute(ITRI) has developed an in-house laser metal deposition (LMD) machine capable of making components up to 50cm³. The metal 3D printer uses software developed by Materialise.3D印刷行业最近与Mitalize CEO Fried Van Craen进行了交谈，您可以在此处阅读完整的采访。
According to ITRI general director Tsau Fang-hei，该平台可将其他过程中引起的热变形降低多达30％。

3D printed sign challenges the “absurd” tradition of bathroom signs
罗伯·戈德肖is a Carnegie Mellon graduate and former artist-in-residence at Autodesk’s Pier 9, home tothe Project Escher 5 head 3D printer．在his latest 3D printing project on InstructableGodshaw创造了一个标志，该标志在浴室门上发现的典型男性和女性图形之间发生了变化。
Sharing his reasoning behind the sign, Godshaw explains,
在美国，最近的跨性别立法试图使跨性别人士使用浴室的基本需求合法化。值得庆幸的是，许多进步的机构通过系统地脱离厕所设施做出了回应。这是一个可能有助于这种努力的标志。我的标志承认传统迹象的荒谬性，这些迹象未能认识到：
- 这re more than two genders
- That women can wear pants, and men can wear dresses.
- That gender is not related disposal of excrement
