Great article about @_MakerGirl project accomplishments getting middle-school girls confident in STEAM, by Tracy Leigh Hazzard @hazzdesign https://t.co/Uxb4PdbrxU
A future for distributed #3Dprinting. Clear presentation of the steps involved, and the benefits, of sending files not parts. Not "a printer-in-every-home" but organized local manufacturing, held to high standards. I like the comparison to ATMs.
Thoughtful insight on reevaluating (lowering) the forces used to machine/remove metal #3Dprinted support material. Work done by @PSUMakerProf and colleagues.
Study examines #machining considerations in removing supports in metal #3Dprinted parts. One conclusion: the specific cutting energy to mill the supports was only 12% of what is needed to mill the fully dense material, based on swept volume:

Here at re:3D, we are results driven and want to provide the best possible product for our customers. Before the release of the new Gigabot Firmware 4.2.0, we wanted to put the new feature, Linear Advance, to the test. Here's what we learned: https://t.co/BWMqYjyfvx

Fraunhofer demonstrates vibration-eliminating support structures for post-processing of metal AM parts https://t.co/HWCyNgggY7 Very interesting way to make support structures perform triple duty; they say the structures are still easy to machine off.
Thanks for the recognition @opslens! // Samantha Snabes and re:3D are Frontline Leaders Enabling Innovation Worldwide with 3D Printing https://t.co/Z9TAEmujZ2
Another awesome #3Dprinted prosthetic. Kudos @UNLV. Meet the pint-sized baseball fan throwing out first pitches at every MLB stadium in America: Hailey Dawson, 8, is pitching with a ROBOTIC HAND made by a 3D printer after being born with a rare syndrome https://t.co/RJb1AH9u3p
