List of top 3D modelers

Here is a list of popular modelers that get alot of work. What I have seen from my research is that there are alot of modelers out there and it is hard to pin down many top product or engineering modelers that specialise in 3D. Here is the link.

More cool stuff from the world of 3D printingThe Cortex exoskeletal cast provides a highly  technical and trauma zone localized support system that is fully  ventilated, super light, shower friendly, hygienic, recyclable and  stylish.The cortex cast utilizes the x-ray and 3d scan of a patient  with a fracture and generates a 3d model in relation to the point of  fracture.

The medical industry has embraced this technology from working with biological material to using materials to act as support or physical structures. In this case they use a scanner to obtain the patient's dimensions and create a lightweight yet strong cast for broken bones. This is another glimpse of the future where medical treatment is highly personalised.
 New Colorful 3D Printer Filament:  http://3dprint.com/4650/tinkerine-3d-printer-filament/

This is a new range of ABS plastic that comes in flouro colours. These colours could create some striking effects in an effective model.

3D Print Flexible models

This is an example of a new material that can be printed with creating a flexible, rubber-like material. This is one of the numerous new materials being developed for printing.

Arkitypo by Johnson Banks is a 3D historical alphabet of alphabets, each letter interprets its own alphabet. The “B” is a Bodoni “B” that spirals out of the  form of a Baskerville “B,” depicting visually the story of Giambattista Bodoni who modelled his font after that of John Baskerville, the thicks and thins being in turn thicker and thinner.    #Alphabet #Typography #johnsonbanks #Arkitypo

This is a nice sculpture of a Bodoni B that is scaled by 50% in height and diameter from top to bottom.

 Large Enough to 3D Print a Boat or SUV, New Full Color Chinese 3D Printer is Unveiled http://3dprint.com/4717/china-huge-full-color-3d-printer/
This piece was created by an extremely large printer that is capable of printing in multiple colours and materials at once. It may still be a prototype but it could be a step towards breaking the existing restrictions on 3D printing.
