We cannot deny the fact that GAME OF THRONES is the most loved series of this generation. And everyone is a fan of different roles played by the actor, some would love Danerys, some love Tyrion and Jon Snow is just next level love. Being a 3D Printing enthusiast and also a fan of GOT, you would be thinking of making 3d prints of your favorite character or your favorite house.

Here are some awesome entities from GOT that you can 3D Print:

House Stark Ring

The Great ruling House of Westeros which claim a long line of descendency that stretches back over 8000 years.The dire wolves are the heraldic symbol of the House Stark with Ned Stark and Catelyn Stark being the most courageous parents. And they even have a dire wolf as their pets.

Designed by  Nathan Schmid, you can shop or get the STL files from  Shapeways and is available in 8 different sizes.

Iron Throne

the whole story revolves around who will be the King of the Seven Kingdoms and will conquer the Iron Throne. The most vintage and yet classy throne is a bit hard to 3D Print with call the intricate design but though its fun.With wars waged over it, the Iron Throne is the most powerful seat to rule from in Westeros, even though its current ruler is not the most convincing.  It was made with 1000 swords and is a cute throne stand for your phone. A little spray paint and digital design file from Thingiverse will make your task the easiest. It is made by the designer  Revennant.

“Hand of the King “Pin

The second most powerful position in the Seven Kingdoms is the Hand of the King.The person holding this position is the King’s advisory and can make decisions in the name of the King. If you hold this position you are formally addressed as “Hand lord”. This classy pin maker is developed by r HasiGH can be found right here. Print it out, spray it with gold paint, add a pin to it and be amazed at its powers.

The King’s Crown

The Joffrey Baratheon’s crown is what we want to own, but not his character. Though that can get you some bad luck at weddings.This 3D printed replica of Joffrey’s crown would be the perfect Game of Thrones cosplay accessory or a great addition to a Game of Thrones collection.A very popular item on Thingiverse to buy or get the STL files and is made by xeijix.

Daenerys Targaryen Necklace

The mother of Dragons and a Khaleesi, she is the bravest character and we do like her for her Dragons and guts. She rules the fire, so getting this glam necklace makes you feel like you are a ruler in yourself. Become a blonde to match this necklace.Hop over to Paultini´s  Thingiverse here. The necklace is prepared in two parts and requires some post-processing, like smoothing, filing, and painting.

Daenerys’s Dragons

This is the favorite part of the series, the Dragons of Danearys. The three dragons have totally different characteristics like Drogon: Black with touches of red.
Viserion: Cream with touches of gold.
Rhaegal: Green with touches of bronze.

To round off your 3D Printed Game of Thrones collection the dragons are a must as they are the show stealers in the series.While there are a number of dragon models out there, this one, designed by maker Michael Perez, was inspired by the mighty Drogon.You may download Drogon from MyMiniFactory. Be aware that dragons, like humans, cannot eat raw meat. Designed by  Mr.Otis.

Cyvasse Board Game

The board game is not featured in the show but as described in the novel it’s a chess-like game, as the maker behind the design, Arian Croft, explains on his Thingiverse page, “I adapted the game to include everything mentioned in the book into a rules set I found believable for a game made during the emulated time period, while also keeping the games in mind that Martin has mentioned as inspiration during interviews.”

Being a set-piece game, there are many individual pieces to print, including 3 Rabble, 3 Spearmen, 3 Crossbowmen, 3 Light Horses, 2 Heavy Horses, 2 Elephants,1 Dragon,1 Trebuchet, 1 Catapult, 1 King, and 1 Keep. Of course, as there are two sides, you’ll need to print these sets twice and in two different colors. The .STL files for the pieces reflect these numbers, so you’ll only have to print each type once, however. You can also 3D print the board, which Croft also designed, and paint it to be checkered.The design file for the game is made by maker Arian Croft on Thingiverse.Made by dutchmogul .

If we have left out some important objects from the series to be 3D Printed you can make yours and send them to us. We will publish them on our Geeetech website as well as FB page.

See what happens when 3D Printing meets the world of fashion!

We’ve seen 3D Printing do a lot of amazing things! From printing houses to printing implants for a surgery, 3D Printing continues to amaze us till date. So why should it come as a surprise that 3D Printing is creating big waves in the fashion industry?

By merging fashion with the latest 3D printing technology, these designers have created some of the most spectacular fashion pieces that may soon make its way into your wardrobe!

Don’t believe us? Take a look!

Futuristic Dresses  by Anouk Wipprecht

What do you get when 3D Printing fashion meets robotic technology? The incredible creations of Anouk Wipprecht! Check out this 3D printed dress designed by her which uses robotic spider arms to defend the wearer! Powered by Intel, the dress has multiple sensors that monitor the wearers breathing and stress levels. If the wearer is approached aggressively, the sensors read that she feels threatened so, in response, the robotic arms of the dress will extend to defend her.

Another one of her innovative designs is the “Synapse Dress”  which reads the wearers emotions and even lights up. The interactive dress itself is printed using a flexible material named Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)and can pick up signals from all over the wearer’s body. It is equipped with an EKG, as well as a proximity sensor, a camera, and a series of LED lights capable of 120 watts of brightness.

Similar to the spider dress, the proximity sensors tell if the wearer feels uncomfortable or threatened, making the dress light up.

It doesn’t stop there! Anouk even designed an interactive Smoke Dress that lets out a stream of smoke when someone gets too close!

Crystallization Collection by Iris van Herp

Designed by Iris van Herpen in collaboration with Daniel Widrig the “Crystallization” collection will always be remembered as the first collection during which a 3D printed piece appeared on a fashion runway. Inspired by the transformation of water turning into crystal, Iris named her collection just that.

Many of her eye-catching pieces were made with the help of 3D printed pieces carefully designed and sculpted to showcase her ideas. The designs are innovative and extremely intricate, yet at the same time stiff.

To many, Iris van Herpen is one of the most mind-blowing Dutch designers out there that really creates ‘wearable’ art and she even creates dresses for Lady Gaga.

FilaFlex Material Collection by Danit Peleg

Looking for something more casual? What if you could print yourself a dress at home without having to run around to find the perfect piece? That’s exactly what Danit Peleg was thinking when she created these dresses! But it took her a long time to find the perfect filament that would be flexible and comfortable.

Luckily she discovered FilaFlex which was much more pliable than the normal plastic and joined all the pieces together to create her signature collection.

With the help of FilaFlex, Danit has experimented with many pieces to create lace-like textures that she could work with similar to how other designers work with cloth fabric. Her dresses take around 400 hours to print depending on the intricacy but she loves the challenge!

Dita von Teese Dress  by Francis Bitonti & Michael Schmidt

This stunning body-hugging dress was 3D printed for burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese using her exact dimensions. Designed by Francis Bitonti and Michael Schmidt using the Fibonacci sequence, the dress was 3D printed in Nylon by Shapeways.

Printed straight from a computer, the flexible “fabric” is made with layer upon layer of fine powdered nylon within the preheated chamber, with input from the CAD file. The end result is a fabric that is flexible enough to move and expand with every movement, giving a feminine and sensual touch to the wearer.

Furthermore, the gown was assembled from 17 printed pieces that were hand-linked into the dress and then dyed black and polished. The dress is even adorned with over 13,000 Swarovski crystals which make all the more glamorous.

Hard Copy Collection by Noa Raviv

Meet Noa Raviv, an Israeli designer who uses 3D printed embellishments to create breathtaking fashion statements. She was even awarded Fashion Designer of the Year at the 3D Printshow in 2014 and it is clear to see why.

The asymmetrical silhouettes seen in her work are inspired by Greek architecture and created from multiple ribbed layers of polymer. These polymers are carefully distorted using various CAD tools and the results are mind-blowing.

With the help of 3D printing, she creates grid-like patterns that are warped and stretched over the garments to create optical illusions across the body. These embellishments snake over the shoulders and cover the chests of the dresses.

Biomimicry collection

Fashion designers threeASFOUR and Travis Fitch together with Stratasys created 2 revolutionary dresses named ‘Pangolin’ and ‘Harmonograph’ which were 3D Printed using a new textile. The dresses are much more flexible than conventional 3D printing plastics and allow the wearer to move about freely.

The collection named ‘Biomimicry’ gets its inspiration from nature, plant geometry and animal anatomy which is evident in the dress ‘Pangolin’ named after the animal itself. The designers used a special nano-enhanced elastomeric 3D printing material which gives the material its fluidity and makes it flexible.

Run through your amazing ideas and make the best creative 3D Printable for the upcoming Global 3D Printing Day.

For all the 3D Printing Legends, 3rd December is near and we all are excited for the day. 3rd December is known as the “Global 3D Printing Day” the biggest day for all the 3D Printing Lovers. Gear up for the day and show your best creations of 3D to the world with our amazing contest ‘3D Printing MAKER MOMENTs‘. MAKER MOMENTs is just a new way to make you enjoy 3D Printing and make the Best out of your creativity.You can participate and win the best prices also show off your work to the world. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up to your 3D Printers and let it show the magic?

As the Global 3D Printing day is arriving we would like to share some rare and unknown facts about 3D Printing that you never knew…

1. 3D Printing Started in the ‘80s.

Yepp, 3D printing is older than you might think. In fact, 3D printing has its roots in the 1980s. In 1984, Chuck Hull, invented a process called “stereolithography” which used UV lasers to solidify photopolymer that created 3D parts layer by layer. In 1985, Materialise CEO Fried Vancraen was a young man making his own non-computer “FDM” models. Five years later, he founded Materialise, one of the first 3D printing companies.

2. 3D printing is in the movies you watch.

3D printing fun fact: 3D printers are already being used for movies. Props can take hours of hard work to create and apply. With 3D printing, many of those props can be created and re-created faster, easier, and without starting from scratch. 3D printing techniques have been featured in movies such as IronMan, The Hobbit, Jurassic Park, Avatar, The Muppets, Terminator Salvation, Real Steel, Paranorman, The Avengers and Paranorman.

3. 3D printing was primarily used for prototyping, but is now being used for production-ready pieces.

Taking its roots in manufacturing, 3D printing was primarily used for prototyping products. In fact, large corporations continue to use rapid prototyping to save millions of dollars. For example, Ford is currently using 3D printing to make large selections of its car parts for testing. According to Ford, the company can save up to $493,000 a month of work with this production method.

Getting back to the point though, 3D Printing is increasingly being used to create finished projects. Since 2003, our friends at .MGX by Materialise have been working together with top designers to create lamps and other design objects – objects that are now included in the permanent collections of Museums and art galleries worldwide.

 4. You can already print in titanium, ceramics, wood, etc!

Now this 3D printing fact might be surprising: pretty much anything can already be 3D printed. Since the 80s, many new materials for 3D printing have entered the market, including gold, silver, titanium, wood, and ceramics. And these materials are not limited to an elite of industrial giants. Over the last year alone we have seen 3D printed houses, drones, dresses, jewelry and table wear being printed. And many more things can be seen printed in the coming years.

5. 3D printing is launching into space.

NASA researchers are currently working on figuring out how to bring 3D printing technology to space. The idea is to send robots ahead of astronauts to construct buildings and infrastructure on lunar surfaces.

6. 3Doodler Printing Pen

This is a pen that can be used to print 3D objects in the air. The 3D Doodler pen symbolizes a normal pen except it uses 3D Printing material rather than Ink for creating the masterpieces you imagine. For people who cannot yet afford to purchase 3D printers, buying the 3Doodler Pen will sure give you a worthy experience of what 3D printing is all about. You can know the 3D Printing totally from scratch by using this pen.

7. RepRap Project

The RepRap Project is a 3D printing open source project teaching how to build a home made 3D printer. The amazing fact is that Building Your Own 3D Printer using the easy DIY steps provided in this open source forum will only cost you about £300. It much explains how the MakerBot 3D printer came into existence.

8. Customization is the next step in 3D printing technology

Soon the question will be what to print rather than how will we print. Customization of every damn thing that we get in the shop or buy online can be done by 3D Printing.Replacement parts, toys, and random designs and schematics found on the internet can all be customized to fit consumer needs. Because the machines can print one piece at a time, this can be done relatively easily. Shapeways, for instance, is a website where customers can connect with designers and order customized products such as jewellery and home decor.

9. People are making all kinds of things with 3D printers

Check out Makerbot’s Thingiverse—the things people create with 3D printers are extraordinarily creative. Its a community where 3D makers from all over the world gather up their 3D Printed creatives.May be get famous too. You can get the Game of Thrones Iron Throne printed to all the crazy stuff that you want even a hair clip.

10. 3D printing is going to cause disruption in many industries

We know 3D printing will upheave mass manufacturers, but what else will the technology affect? New Opprtunities , less work is what will be bought by 3D Printing in the coming future. Educators can print tools or designs in schools. Artists will have a new medium to work with. Healthcare providers can quickly create what they need in-house. Parents will be able to replace toys or broken household items in a matter of hours. Architects can print their blueprints and Fashion designers can show their sample works. Amazing ain’t it!!!
