All The Pleats That Are Fit To Print: Zac Posen’s 3D-Printed Couture Gives The Met Gala A New Dimension
"When British supermodel Jourdan Dunn stepped onto the red carpet at the Met Gala Monday night, the crowd rustled with excitement. Dunn was wearing a blood-red gown in the shape of a rose. Lacquered and stiff, the dress looked like freshly poured hard candy. The glossy petals shone in the spotlight, revealing complex layers of folds and velvety swirls that conveyed a vibrant flower in full bloom. But this gown was no ordinary high-fashion affair spun from a confection of silks.

Laser Focus: Machine Learning Will Give 3D Printers Eyes
Just a few years ago, it would take GE engineers more than 800 parts to build a third of a new turboprop engine. Today they need about a dozen.

Small Dog, New Tricks: How This Vet Is Straightening Pups’ Legs With 3D-Printed Parts
Lucca, a sandy-colored, 1-year-old shih tzu, is undeniably cute — thanks in part to the tiny legs he trots about on. But one of those legs was also a source of potentially lifelong discomfort for the pup. Lucca grew up with a deformed lower leg, a condition often found in smaller dogs, including shih tzus and dachshunds: Two bones in his front right leg developed at different rates. When one stopped growing prematurely, it acted like a bow string, causing the other to twist and bend.

The 3D-Printed Age: Why This Futuristic Ohio Factory Is Proving Mark Twain Wrong
Mark Twain allegedly claimed that when the end of the world came, he wanted to be in Cincinnati “because it’s always 20 years behind the times.” The quip is funny, but his strategy to ride out Armageddon in the Queen City would backfire today. A case in point is GE’s Additive Technology Center located along Interstate 75 as it bisects the northern suburb of West Chester Township. From the outside, the building looks like many of the low, gray boxes in this industrial area.

Before These Parts Are Fit To Print: This Virtual Factory Software Takes 3D Printing Inside The Computer
You probably wouldn’t print a letter without carefully composing and editing it on a computer screen first. So it’s fitting that as companies embrace 3D printing, their workers are spending a lot of time on their computers making sure the parts they want to print come out right. And just like writers need a good word processor to keep track of their changes, industrial designers need sophisticated software to run simulations as they perfect their parts.
