A half-ton 3D printed kitchen

Atomic Layer of the Day:

This is not a sponsored newsletter - this is an admiration newsletter.

Italy-based Breton - self proclaimed pioneer in the development of advanced technologies and materials, revealed a spectacular kitchen design, created in LFAM technology. The base material was recycled PET reinforced with 30% fiberglass.

The kitchen - or rather the main kitchen module, had an impressive size of 3,000 x 1,000 x 900 mm and weighed 450 kg. And now the most important thing - the production time. Only 23 hours! If you wanted to make such a project from wood - not to mention plastic, this is a cosmic speed.

The module has been finished very aesthetically with frosted plexiglass. Even if you are a 3D printing expert, it would take you a moment to discover that this project was created using AM technology.

1. Remember Red Wolf from Utah, USA, who uses Bambu Lab 3D printers to make smartphone cases? They just added a version for the iPhone 16.

2. Another week, another 3D printed shoe on the market… ELSTM has released the Orca, a shoe made with various 3D printed materials. It features a foaming TPU midsole, a mesh upper, and an outer TPU shell.

3. You gonna love this… “China is set to overtake the US in high-tech and advanced military manufacturing by 2035”, the prominent Chinese strategist Lu Yongxiang has written in the Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering. He added that “US’ competitive edge in these industries was diminishing”, and described the decline in global demand for US-made tech and military products as “an irreversible trend.”
