Did you hear? The 3D printed basketball is for sale: www.additivemanufacturing.media/news/wilson-plans-to-sell-customizable-airless-3d-printed-basketball?

There is clearly air inside that ball

[@raulkaap]

That's what I have been saying all along! We have been duped.

[@hetzel3606]

nah... can't see any

[@pneumantic6297]

STL files?

As a desert dweller, most of my basketballs have been deflated by cacti. I would unironically buy something like this

[@aarontarr613]

I saw it at Rapid TCT earlier this year and it was really cool! Looking forward to the future of 3D Printing and where it will take us!

Now it’s time for an Airless Football. No more DeflateGate.

[@galfisk]

Anything with holes for outdoor use is prime for gravelgate though.

Is anyone using 3D printing for airless car or bicycle tires?

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

There are 3D printed airless prototypes for bicycles and automobiles. BigRep has presented an airless bicycle tire prototype and Michelin an airless automotive tire prototype.

Just let me try out the ball already

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

You just missed it at our event in Austin at the end of August! (Formnext Forum)

[@jjcrusher488]

@@AdditiveManufacturing are they available to buy anywhere?

Not at the moment. @@jjcrusher488

Anyone feel like "lattice" isn't suiting 🤔 honeycomb seems more accurate

[@raulkaap]

Clickbait! There's air in the ball. Unsubscribed.
Just kidding.
