The concept of 3D printing is unbelievably broad and when we  … mistakenly … reduce it to action figure printers, we likely are forgetting all of the of the technical, scientific or medical the advances which would have been impossible without the additive manufacturing process. Shapes that have had been previously impossible to manufacture, structures which were before too complex to mass produce with the 3D printing has made its way to be a part of our reality and in many fields to be used not in the future but to-day as well.

At the 3 days event visitors may see many awesome ideas placed into force and there is nothing strange in it, cause if just thinking of the invention of steel-bar  made fence in the 19th century was an unimaginable novelty and now-a-days  it does not trigger  anybody’s mind.

In the meantime here is one of the exhibitors, worthwhile to see and talk to the creators, Calin Brandabur and Mihai Soare who will be there to answer any of your questions and to present technical live demonstrations. Their Symme3D is being showcased for the first time internationally here in  Budapest  at the 3D Printing Days.

In brief a little background of  the … “ Symme3D is the first multifunctional delta platform 100% designed, engineered and manufactured in Romania. It was designed by Calin Brandabur to be used as a manufacturing tool for modules developed for personal use. The public interest was high so now Symme3D became a product on its own. The platform features 10 interchangeable tool heads for 3D printing, Laser etching, CNC milling and will be the first desktop sized pick and place machine worldwide. With Symme3D a DIY maker, engineer, hardware startup or even established company can control the full life-cycle of a hardware product development from PCB milling, for the electronics, Stencil laser cutting to easily apply the solder paste on the PCB to 3D printing  cases / boxes or frames for the final product.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , .

Wizz hangar visual

Heavy machines once again started to roar at Ferenc Liszt Airport  in the area between the two large maintenance and repair hangars. Budapest Airport is building a brand-new hangar for Wizz Air which commences operation of its maintenance base in Budapest from September this year. The general contractor of the new hangar construction is Market Építő Zrt.  No fewer than 68 reinforced concrete piles have been put down into the ground in the area of the new hangar to be built at Budapest Airport – the Wizz Air maintenance/repair hangar project has officially entered the construction phase. The new hangar directly opening to the maintenance apron will be erected by Market Építő Zrt between the existing maintenance hangars operated by Lufthansa Technik and Aeroplex by August, and Wizz Air is expected to move into the new facility already in September. The 15-year lease contract for the new hangar was signed by the airline and Budapest Airport last June.

The 2000-square-meter hangar and 200 square meter service facility will accommodate a single aircraft. In the course of designing the hangar, it was also took into consideration that in the years ahead the Wizz Air fleet may be extended with Airbus A 321 neo aircraft already featuring ‘sharklets’, with a body that is almost 7 meters longer than that of the currently operated A 320 variety. From this spring onwards, Wizz Air is using Budapest Airport as a base for a fleet of 9 aircraft, and line maintenance and minor repairs required in the course of daily operation will be performed in the new hangar.

“This year, one of our largest development projects is the new hangar to be built for Wizz Air with a total investment of close to 1 billion HUF. Wizz Air is the biggest airline partner of Budapest Airport in terms of passenger traffic, and the new hangar is another step towards further strengthening the presence of Wizz on-airport, and the aircraft maintenance business in general.” said René Droese, property director of Budapest Airport. He added, “They operate their aviation unit, their Crew Center, their flight simulator, and their training center at our airport already. The current project shows that we are committed to continued growth and creating new jobs at Ferenc Liszt International Airport . The new hangar makes it possible for Wizz Air to run an even smoother operation here enabling it to perform high-quality line maintenance activities in Budapest.”

During the midday hours one of the main Downtown idea in Budapest was the “stage” of outrageous behaviour… with exaggerated footsteps and jerky mannerisms.

The Flashmobing was brought on a super windy and partly rainy day in Budapest. Never-the-less the original joke … silly walks” made its way in Budapest.  The intention was to show how individuals  handle the legendary comedy troupe Monty Python’s Flying Circus on the street of Budapest.   Heard on the way  quite a number of international language speaking folks who were silly walkers and must admit many foreigners joined the gag.

The call was already here in Budapest,  by Miklós Galla – entertainer artist and Steve Hajdú – actors for joining the first flashmob gathering to show,  invite the locals and foreigners handle this physical comedy.

So it proved to-day don’t have to go to neighbours, cause Budapest has Silly Walkers as well. This was a superb occasion for People living in their ordinary lives, to stop for a minute  and to put a little smile on their face.

The “Under Guide” – creative travel and event organiser company held a press gathering at the Aquarium Club,  whereas the topic was …Rolling along with the „Underguide travel” is completely different from the one most folks are interested of a city to have had the experiences.

Creative travel and event organiser company.

They introduced the “Lucky 13” tour that has already organized around 10 thousand „tailored” tours in Budapest to introduce to the foreigners stay, working in Budapest to know more about the city they are traveling around in-and-out of work. More to it, to those tourist visiting for a short time to grab as much as they can in Rolling in Budapest! These tours are tailored to show the hidden treasures and those contemporary values Budapest is open to offer.

On the occasion of reaching their 10th anniversary, Under Guide decided to launch an interactive small tour, titled „Lucky 13” … I would add quickly before someone get chills, scared to death of the number 13 taking the tour, cause together with the tour guide the rolling goes along with 14 folks. So for those who are superstitious need not have to be afraid of anything.

At the press meeting these facts were told: The “UNDERGUIDE” believes that it is not the place, but the local people who make travelling such a real, personal and unforgettable experience! Their guides are local citizens and enthusiasts of Hungary and Budapest.

The Lucky 13 tour is never a ’one man show’ given by a guide. It is all about an exchange of ideas, a multitude of questions to discuss, small cheer up games and an unforgettable personal experience while you get to know Budapest and your Hungarian underguide better and better.

The departure place is from the Aquarium Club,, the most popular concert and event venue, the tour covers the following highlights of Budapest: St. Stephen’s Basilica, Design Terminal, Danube Promenade, Shoes on the Danube, Chain Bridge, Parliament, Vörösmarty Square, Jewish District and plenty of   hidden little treasures.

Besides Budapest’s captivating sights, the tour intends to highlight the small wonders that make this city truly unique. During the adventure, the underguide shares many curiosities and ‘never heard’ urban legends of the city. The goal is to show the travellers the fantastic faces and opportunities Budapest has to offer, and make them realize for sure: Budapest is more than you could imagine.”
