Title: Carbon.
Author: Joseph Desimone.
PCA´s note: The base concept for this disruptive 3D printing technology presented by Carbon was from the Terminator 2 movie “where the mass for the object comes from the liquid under it.” With amazing speed, Carbon 3D printers can do the job 20X faster than the standard layer-pouring-printing system.
Title: 3D printed Ceramics
Author: Zak Eckel from HRL Laboratory.
PCA´s note: The vast application of this new breakthrough of 3D printed ceramic which can stand super high temperatures above 1.000ºC is amazing.
Certainly in the next PPE equipment in the firefighting niche, we will be seeing it being applied soon!
Title: Carbon + Adidas Futurecraft 4D
Author: Al Van Noy, SVP Future Adidas
PCA´s note: After revolutionized the casual/sneaker market with their Adidas Boost technology, what would be the next step?
When I first saw and tried it on the Adidas Futurecraft 4D sneaker featuring a 3D lattice printed insole, I immediately understood it!
Title: Reebok Liquid Factory.
Author: Bill Mcinnis
PCA´s note: For those who have a bit of knowledge about footwear construction could never imagine a shoe without a normal outsole cemented or direct-attached onto the upper… Now, with the Reebok Liquid Factory technology, we draw our own sole pattern and pour polymer directly onto the bottom of the shoe. Awesome!
