Madelynn Martiniere is in the business of community engineering for technology companies. Over the past 5 years she has worked alongside both startups and large corporations alike to bring about the new hardware revolution.
Hands On With The Ultimaker 2 Extended: Unboxing and Setup
We’ve got our hands on a real-life Ultimaker 2 Extended and will take you through the experience of using one. In this multiple-part series, we will first investigate the machine setup.
Formlabs Toughens Up Their 3D Printing Resins
Desktop 3D printer manufacturer took a big step today by announcing a new “Tough” resin.
NASA’s 3D Printed Zero Gravity Coffee Cup
NASA’s attempt to solve the problem of sipping coffee in a weightless environment may be solved with the development of a specialized cup.
Eco 3D Filament’s Unique Material Offerings
In the increasingly crowded 3D printer plastic filament market, it’s harder for companies to distinguish themselves. Czech-based Eco 3D Filament may have just done that.
What’s the Ante to Play the Filament Game?
For some years now, to market 3D printer filament you merely had to provide good quality filament. That seems to be changing.
The DWS XFAB Dental 3D Printer
Italy-based DWS Labs is developing a desktop 3D printer with a lot of capability: the XFAB.
Design of the Week: White Rabbit Figurine
This week’s selection is Danny Van Ryswyk’s amazing White Rabbit Figurine.
Design of the Week: Gemini Lounge
This week’s selection is the Gemini Chaise Lounge, by 3D designer Neri Oxman.
A 3D Printing House Becomes Reality
We’ve written many times on the idea of building homes with large-format 3D printers, but now it’s really happening.
Color Mixing on the Connex3
Stratasys’ latest 3D printer series, the Connex3, is able to produce a wide variety of 3D objects with multiple properties. As we posted earlier, the technology permits rigid, color, transparent and flexible materials to be produced within a single 3D print operation. The Connex3’s can hold and print three unique materials simultaneously, with some… Continue reading Color Mixing on the Connex3
Five 3D Printer Buying Decisions
When you’ve decided to buy a 3D printer there are some questions you should ask yourself before proceeding. The current array of buyable 3D printers is the largest in the history of the world, so having some parameters to make a decision is a good thing. The questions are actually not about 3D printers,… Continue reading Five 3D Printer Buying Decisions
7 Things You Probably Won’t 3D Print At Home Any Time Soon
Some people, usually those just introduced to 3D printing, often believe the technology is capable of printing “anything”, in the manner of a Star Trek replicator. That, of course, is not the case. There are many limitations in the technology and indeed within each type of 3D printing process. This means there are things… Continue reading 7 Things You Probably Won’t 3D Print At Home Any Time Soon
TorrentFreak Contemplates 3D Piracy
TorrentFreak, a blog covering happenings in the BitTorrent world, forecasts doom for some manufacturers when 3D printing becomes widespread. BitTorrent is a file sharing protocol often used for pirating digital media, most notably music, movies and ebooks. TorrentFreak focused on the scenario of replacing a sink plug by personal 3D printing and realized plug manufacturers… Continue reading TorrentFreak Contemplates 3D Piracy
Battlefield 3D Printing
In Afghanistan the US Army has deployed the first of several USD$2.8M mobile prototyping labs. These container-sized labs house 3D printers and CNC machines capable of rapidly producing spare or replacement parts that would otherwise take months to order and be delivered using conventional approaches. The Army has a special unit known as the… Continue reading Battlefield 3D Printing
Simplifying Mendel
The purpose of the RepRap project is to produce a 3D printer that can effectively reproduce itself. Fears of robot domination aside, this is a truly momentous project. However, it’s a difficult task to conceive of the most efficient machine design – the fewer and simpler parts required by the design means it’s easier to… Continue reading Simplifying Mendel
Materialise Rescues Itself
Interesting story from i.Materialise, where Joris explains that some two years ago, a tripod lever was catastrophically damaged. Rather than buying a new tripod and unable to acquire a replacement lever, they decided to “eat their own dog food” by designing and printing a replacement part. A suitable design was prepared and the lever… Continue reading Materialise Rescues Itself
Free 3D Repositories
Your personal 3D printer sits idle while you ponder what to print. Should you go back to Thingiverse and print out another coat hook? Perhaps some spare MakerBot parts? Maybe you should fire up SketchUp or Blender and create a new 3D model of your own design. Nope, not tonight. You’re feeling lazy and… Continue reading Free 3D Repositories
The Glass Car
An amazing video shows a behind the scenes look at the creation of a glass car – no kidding! It’s almost completely made of glass. Shell Oil wanted to really show everyone how their engine oil works by making a see-through car, including, of course, the engine itself. The engine turns over, and you can… Continue reading The Glass Car
Commercial Bioprinting Available Now
Invetech announced the availability of a commercial 3D Bioprinter. It’s being distributed by Organovo to research institutions around the world. What’s a Bioprinter? It’s essentially a 3D printer that deposits living cells according to a 3D model to form actual living tissue that can potentially be used inside living organisms. Typically a scaffold is used… Continue reading Commercial Bioprinting Available Now
It’s Fabulous in the Cloud!
Today we’ve managed to score an exclusive interview with Nick Pinkston, one of the principals behind a new distributed fabrication service: CloudFab, a new way to link makers with those who need things made. CloudFab is about to launch a private beta very soon, so let’s find out what it’s all about. Fabbaloo: Tell us… Continue reading It’s Fabulous in the Cloud!
