Final GM Video - Series of 3 Showcasing 3D Systems Technology

This is the final video in a series of three from General Motors that showcases their use of 3D Systems solutions in the design and delivery of world class vehicles. This particular video covers the involvement of the UAW employees that support the onsite Rapid Manufacturing/Prototyping Lab at GM Design.
Take a look at how our systems and solutions are positively impacting the automobiles we drive and the people who bring them to market.  The fact that GM felt compelled to make these video’s speaks volumes relative to their reliance on 3D Systems and our technology. And feel free to share this and the other videos on our YouTube channel with customers, prospects and anyone else who might be interested.

BFB™ 3000 Conquers Zero Gravity

We’re proud to announce that our affordable BFB™ 3000 successfully completed two zero-gravity test flights in partnership with MADE IN SPACE, a startup dedicated to providing solutions for manufacturing in outer space.
MADE IN SPACE believes that the advantages of 3D printing make it the perfect system for use in outer space. “3D printing and in-space manufacturing will dramatically change the way we look at space exploration, commercialization, and mission design today,” said Aaron Kemmer, CEO and Co-Founder of MADE IN SPACE. “The possibilities range from building on-demand parts for human missions to building large space habitats that are optimized for space.”  MADE IN SPACE plans additional zero-gravity and suborbital testing over the next twelve months.
