I’ve been busy with my “day job” the last few weeks, so I spent the morning catching up on what I’ve missed. It’s really amazing how much 3D Printing activity happens every day: new scanners are popping up everywhere...
3D Printing Micro-Scanner- Vir...
I just came across an interesting open source project by Virtumake, a German “garage shop” tinkering company focused on 3D printing, and more recently on 3D scanning. They have just released the plans for VirtuZoom, a 3D scanning microscope that can scan...
Fab Chairs- 3D Printed using R...
Dirk Vander Kooij’s graduation project epitomizes the magic and the opportunity of 3D printing to become embedded in our everyday lives. Two years ago, he reprogrammed an industrial Chinese robot to become a 3D printer which he then used to print furniture from...
Materialise Introduces Flexibl...
Everyday I come across 3D printing news that takes the practical application of the technology to new heights. Today is no exception. Materialise, a leader in additive manufacturing, and owner of 3D marketplace i.materialise, has just announced the launch of a...
3D Printed Implanted Skull
I have a lot of friends who are still a bit skeptical about 3D printing. They think its cool, but are not quite sure what you can do with it beyond making cute figurines and kitchy jewelry. This story should change their minds…

Sandboxr: Your 3D Printed Crea...
Kickstarter has become a terrific platform for 3D printing upstarts to become breakout successes (think 3Doodler and FormLabs). At any given time there are several open campaigns related to 3D printing. My favorite campaign at the moment is for Sandboxr. Sandboxr...

3D Printing- Look Beyond the Hot Air
The history of steam engines goes back to almost 2000 years. But a workable steam engine was invented only about 250 years ago and of course, James Watt took all the credit for it. It took a further 50 years before it was adopted as mainstream power source. As historian Robert Thurston said,...
