At 3Delft, we are passionate about harnessing the power of custom 3D printing to enhance industries with practical solutions. We recently collaborated with Evanthia, a breeding company focused on seed production, to develop specialized small-scale sowing trays that facilitate single-seed analysis and improve data collection. This partnership showcases how tailored 3D solutions can drive innovation and support advancements in seed technology.

Introducing our 3D Printing Solutions for SPITS Alkmaar! We've designed optimized replacement parts, from gears to rotors, for their automated medicine packaging. By using medical-grade materials and 3D printing technology, we deliver parts with a fast turnaround time.

In the Netherlands, it can be cold and windy in the autumn months. During one of those months, a storm tore a roof tile of the house of one of our clients. Unfortunately the manufacturer of these tiles did not make the specific tile anymore. Therefore 3D printing was a good alternative. During this interesting order we gained a lot of knowledge such as the 3D scanning of existing objects and the importance of post processing.

At the end of 2022 we received an unique order from the department of Imaging Physics at the Delft University of Technology. This department develops novel instrumentation and imaging technologies. They are driven by their scientific curiosity and problem-oriented nature in research with a strong connection to industry and to educate future leaders in the field of imaging science.

Patient safety is one of the most important aspects in production of medicine. According to international standards, medical containers such as syringes, ampoules and vials should be 100% visually inspected. This action is mandatory to make sure containers do not contain defects or foreign particles.

Qbuss is a 3-dimensional, artistic and customizable boardgame for 4-players designed by W.J.Jongeneel in collaboration with 3Delft. The game focuses on pathfinding to score points, which can be used to obscure the opponents gameplay and fortify your own.

Conventional mould-fabrication is expensive and unapproachable for hobby-conceptualization. With 3D printing on the rise, ideas that couldn’t be made before can now become your reality. 3D printing production is quick, easy and cost-effective.

One of the ways to minimise fuel consumption of freight ships is to keep a very clean hull, because a foul hull creates much more drag in the water, resulting in a much less efficient use of the engine power. In order to ensure the best circumstances for ships that pass through the port of Rotterdam, FleetCleaner offers an inspection and cleaning service with underwater robots.

Last week, on the 16th of March 2021, We were very proud to be a part of the Entrepreneurship Day Delft! It was a great opportunity for us to learn from some very successful stories of other businesses; to present our company and what we want to do to a greater audience, and to get to know some interesting people!

Since the organic crop demand is rapidly growing, pesticides are less favorable to use against insects. A new automated solution has to take over from these pesticides. A Delft startup called PATS Drones solves this problem by using bat-like drones to automatically control insect populations.

Over the past few months, 3Delft has been proudly working together with the pathology laboratory of Reinier de Graaf hospital in Delft. By making solutions for the transportation and storage of sampled tissues, the lab is now safer, user-friendlier and more efficient.

As greenhouses keep on getting larger and larger, growers are facing more difficult challenges. Monitoring hectares of plants combined with controlling diseases and pests is highly labour intensive. Applied Drone Innovations (ADI) develops powerful solutions for this. They make greenhouse monitoring systems, collect valuable data which they also process to increase crop yields and quality while reducing operational costs.

A group of students from Delft University of Technology have developed the first digital-in-home advertisement platform called Turff. It is a tablet with smart features such as a financial accounting system, a list of who will be eating at home and more. In exchange, the tablet will show screensavers with advertisements when it is not used.

Alex Lamp is a volunteer of the e-NABLE network. She gives 3D-printed hands to those who need them. Here at 3Delft, we like to support such communities. That is why we spread awareness to help Alex grow her network. Here is her story:

The Vattenfall Solar Team is aiming to build world’s fastest solar car to win the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2019. We like to see how they show the possibilities of high-end technology and sustainable energy. Their next creation will be NunaX. We are proud to contribute to NunaX by providing lightweight 3D printed parts, which are optimized by combining our knowledge of production and material sciences.

Master Graduate Sian Wong designed this building for his graduation thesis. The woody auditorium and the gray mechanical system are 3D printed by 3Delft. We congratulate him on achieving a 9.0 / 10.0 for this project.

The Stieltjesweg building is a student housing on the campus of the TU Delft. Our modeling experts recreated the building with a CAD software. Then the model was 3D printed. Now students living at the Stieltjesweg can physically show their friends and families where they have lived in their college days.

The WB08 project group at TU Delft has created a desktop CNC machine that consists of customized 3D printed components. We are proud of their result and we wish them success with the project and the rest of their studies.
