3D Printing for Visual Marketing » 3D Printing Media Network

By introducing 3D printing technologies to visual marketing, companies are now able to create large and small visual advertising products that are not just images on a wall but real 3D representations of a product, often supersized. This has become possible with the emergence of more affordable, large format 3D printing technologies, including filament extrusion and – even more so – Massivit’s unique gel dispensing technology.

Because marketing models don’t need to be durable or possess particular mechanical properties, the quality of the materials used is irrelevant. Materials need to be first and foremost affordable and fast do print. By cagtering to these two primary demands, a few 3D printer manufacturers which also include HP and its full color 3D printing systems, have effectively created a new segment of 3D printing and marketing.

Key adopters in this segment are 2D digital printing services and studios that decide to venture into offering 3D capabilities. This transition is not an easy one, as physical 3D representations present a series of challenges that need to be overcome in terms of assembling and finishing a product, however more than a few companies around the world have already begun to embrace this revolution and the results have often been quite stunning.

In this AM Focus, we will examine some of these fascinating marketing projects and the potential of this new vertical segment of the additive manufacturing industry, with contributions from some of the key players in this field.

Mimaki’s 3D printing business has been intertwined with Israeli technologies from the start. The Japanese company is a leader in large format 2D inkjet technology just like many of the firms involved in the evolution of companies like Objet, which later became Stratasys.

Relativity Space tests 3D printed launch vehicle

News

-printed components in the current iteration is already 85% and according to the developers' plans it will reach 95%.

During testing, nine first stage engines ran for twenty seconds ( see video ). The Aeon 1 power plants are 3D printed and run on methane and oxygen. The company uses various 3D printing technologies, including selective laser sintering of metal powders on 3D printers manufactured by the German company EOS and laser-plasma deposition of aluminum alloys in the form of welding wire on an additive system of its own design called Stargate.

Terran launchers will be able to launch up to 1250 kg of payload to low Earth or up to 900 kg into sun-synchronous orbit. The first flight will take place this year, although the exact date is still unknown: the company planned to launch in June, but the schedule has shifted to the right.

The first non-commercial launch will take place from Cape Canaveral, from Launch Complex 16, leased from the US Air Force and previously used to test Titan ICBMs and Pershing short-range ballistic missiles.

In the long term, Relativity Space expects to reduce production times to two months through automation and the widespread use of additive technologies. The cost of a single launch of Terran 1 is estimated at twelve million dollars. By 2024, it is planned to complete work on a heavier Terran R launch vehicle with a payload capacity of up to twenty tons.

Multiral hypersonic level of “Kryllo-SV” unified family of new lungs launch vehicles are planned to be returned using a 3D-printed MGTD-150 jet engine developed under the Tantalum project.

“The MGTD-150 engine developed as part of the project is also planned to be used as a return flight engine for the Krylo-SV reusable rocket and space system,” said Deputy General Director and Head of Chemical, Biological and Medical Research at the Advanced Research Foundation Alexander Panfilov in an interview with RIA-Novosti.

The Krylo-SV system is being developed by the Myasishchev Experimental Machine-Building Plant as a hypersonic reentry stage with a rotary wing. The project of the failed promising cruise missile "Baikal" ( in the illustration above ), developed by the Khrunichev Research and Production Center. For flights at high speeds, the Whirlwind engine is being created, and the MGTD-150 3D-printed jet engine will be responsible for the return of the stage. The first flight of the return stage in subsonic mode is scheduled for the end of next year, full-fledged tests of the flight demonstrator will take place approximately in 2023.

“The system is designed to launch a payload of up to 600 kilograms into a sun-synchronous orbit. The scheme of operation of the product provides for the separation of the first stage of the launch vehicle at a height of 59-66 kilometers and its return to the launch area with landing on a regular runway. In the basic design of the return unit, a large-span rotary rectangular wing and a classic tail unit will be used. Within the framework of the project, it is planned to develop a complex of scaled flight experimental demonstrators of reusable blocks. A separate project includes work on the creation of a demonstrator of a dual-mode liquid-jet engine running on liquefied natural gas and oxygen. The main goals of the program are to demonstrate the technical feasibility of creating reusable retrievable cruise missile units and to confirm the level of technology readiness for creating a unified model range of light class launch vehicles of various payloads,” the Advanced Research Foundation reports.

MGTD-10

The creation of a family of small-sized 3D-printed jet engines is carried out by the Design Bureau named after MP Simonov with the participation of the Advanced Research Foundation (FPI) and the All-Russian Research Institute of Aviation Materials (VIAM). The first flight tests of the A30 light unmanned vehicle with a 3D printed MGTD-20 engine took place in July of this year, and in September, a more powerful version of the MGTD-125E launched another drone, the Dan-M air target. At the same time, it was reported that the start of mass production of small-sized gas turbine engines in the thrust class of 10, 20, 125 and 150 kilogram-forces is scheduled for 2021-2022, taking into account the completion of the stage of development work in the interests of the state defense order.
