RedEye Australasia were recently contacted by Drifter ( www.drifter.net ) to 3D Print the winning character designs from the Ubisoft "Design your very own 3D-printable hero in the Ubisoft 3D Character Creator!" ( http://www.ubisoft3dcharactercreator.com.au ). The Facebook community chose a winning design from the Ubisoft 3D Character Creator each month to be 3D printed, hand painted, and sent to the winner! The winning designs were printed in nylon using SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) by RedEye Australasia. Watch the video below to see how the  characters emerge. NOTE: Due to the fact that SLS involves using a laser to melt nylon layer by layer in a bed of powder, this part of the process cannot be shown.  RedEye Australasia is the 3D Printing Bureau side of Objective3D - Your complete, professional 3D printing solutions centre.

Juggling the microphone and harmonica 3D Printing and rapid prototyping allows for advancements and innovations that can turn an idea into a reality in only a few short days. Dror Adler, a harmonica player from the Adler Trio, had been juggling a microphone and harmonica for over 50 years when he finally said that enough was enough. He came up with an idea to build a unique microphone enclosure that would attach to the harmonica and accommodate all the necessary electronics for a wireless mike that will allow the user to play the harmonica unimpeded. The first  prototype was produced on a Stratasys Eden 3D Printer using PolyJet technology.  Several design iterations were created until a perfect prototype was produced and Dror was in harmonica heaven. The Final Product After other musicians saw the Adler Trio performing live, they started asking where they could buy their own microphone holder, and it was then that Dror began to consider producing them in small com

This week, Stratasys expanded its portfolio of 3D printing materials with Endur, a new PolyJet 3D printing material for use with Eden, Connex and Objet printers. Endur is an alternative to Durus, with improved chemical characteristics and composition to give models and prototypes a polypropylene-like look and functionality, much like the characteristics of standard plastics. In the video below, Boaz Jacobi, Product Marketing Manager at Stratasys, talks about the capabilities of Endur and examines some applicative models that look and behave like polypropylene in terms of flexibility, strength and toughness. Just like the name implies, Endur is tough. The polypropylene-like material offers both high impact resistance and superior elongation at break. Endur has a heat-deflection temperature up to 129°F/ 54°C, excellent dimensional stability and comes in a bright white color. It also features an excellent surface finish to make it easier to achieve a smooth look and feel

Strike Bowling recently ran a competition for new designs to go on their new revolutionary high tech shoes. These shoes are so cutting edge, they even have anti-theft devices built in! With such a major facelift, Strike bowling contacted Method Studios to help with the launch. Method Studios came up with a great concept ... to project the best designs on a big 3D shoe ... a really big 3d bowling shoe! So big, that they needed a big 3D printer for the job - so they contacted RedEye Australasia to 3D Print shoes specifically for the launch. RedEye Australasia offers the largest build volume in Australasia and a great solution to people wanting to print large items in a single piece. 3D Printing the Strike Shoe An actual Strike bowling shoe was scanned to produce a CAD file which was then 3D printed using FDM in ABS in a Stratasys Fortus 900MC . A 900MC allowed these large shoes to be built in a single piece. They were then sanded and supplied to Method Studios for the lau
