3D printing is a wonderful technology that has touched nearly all spheres of our life. With 3D printing you can develop amazing things, you can create even human organs, prosthetics and dwellings. Groups of scientists from all over the world are trying to make the technology more affordable and make it available for everyday use. Read more
Imagine a jet engine for the Oompa-Loompas. Engineers from General Electrics are now trying to create the future of aircraft production. Recently they’ve shown some degree of their capacity. They’ve developed a simple 3D printed mini jet engine speeded at 33,000 rotations in a minute. The jet engine is relatively small, its size is that Read more
You probably may have noticed that one of the most annoying things is an attempt to unlock some combination lock or suitcase when you realize that you’ve forgotten the code. You’ve already tried you birthday combination and four zeros and a one-two-three-four combination and what not. You always try dozens of various combinations and sometimes Read more
Our modern world may seem a bit unbelievable. Electronics seem to become incredibly smaller in size. You imagine the size of cell phones, music players and computer memory. But contrary to the decrease in size their capabilities tend to grow. One of the fields that scientists are continually trying to improve is the production of Read more
Kickstarter crowdfunding platform has given start to lots of various 3D printers. Not all of them are unique. Some of them are based on the same technology as those that are already in the market and are different only in price and size. But at the same time the Kickstarter platform has also launched some Read more
What do you think of when you hear about 3D printed toys? Probably you imagine small cars with rotating wheels, action figures or guns. As time goes by, designers are becoming more inventive and creative in this area of design. There has been quite a significant revolution in this area and now the toys can Read more
The future of automobile clearly belongs to electric cars, or even self-driving ones, with new designs. Some producers of automobiles have decided to allow their customers to create their customizations with 3D printers, just like producers of other products. Surely we shouldn’t expect that individual parts of engine will be designed, but the inside or Read more
Additive manufacturing offers us almost an infinite range of possibilities of creating various things. A team of talented 3D designers have produced a true-to-life coral garden. To create it they used only 3D printers and nothing else. That is exactly what Paradigm 3D based in Dubai have recently done with their 3D printers. The electronics Read more
BioBots is a U.S. based biotech startup. At present it is at an intersection between chemistry and computer sciences. They have recently represented their first product – a desktop 3D printer for biomaterials. Its capabilities were demonstrated at TechCrunch Disrupt NY where it 3D printed Van Gogh’s ear in replica. According to the co-founder Danny Read more
