Open Pandora, the open platform for gaming embraces more open access to files. Unfortunately is not properly what we call open source hardware as the license doesn’t allow for commercial use but, as you may know, a debate is open on this topic. Thanks to the designers Michael Weston (PCB) and Dave Cancilier (Case), the case…
3D Systems’ Investor Day, brought us a great news related to the collaboration between the 3Dprinting giant and Google – in relation to Project Ara. The company estimates that the printing speeds used within the manufacturing of modules for Google’s Project Ara will increase by approximately 50X over current 3D printing methods. And this will happen…
A truly interesting contest, launched by a group of Italian companies working with Making and Design: “3DPRINTforAID” project has been set up bearing in mind that the spread of 3D printing technologies will lead to a third or fourth “industrial revolution”. 3D printing is now taken seriously by manufacturers as an alternative to cutting, bending, pressing…
Well, we usually don’t post simply things we find on Instructables but this is really AWESOME: this work is based on and inspired by carlbass Mechanical iris Inspired by his work I quickly put a piece of plywood in my desktop laser cutter and set it to work. Minutes later the promise appeared, and within moments I…
Incredible project: a 100% wood 3d printed speaker abvailable in Open Design (no clue about the license used) –Â is unmentioned. This project really shows the potential of merging design and the fabrication revolution: Spirulida is the World’s First Desktop Speaker printed from Timberfill (100% wood)! Â Its form and 4″ full range speaker are a marriage…
[vimeo id=”94832056″ width=”620″ height=”360″] We recently spotted a very interesting project, the 3dprinter called Fa)(a 3d: a modular, open source printer that was born out the collaboration of several Italian fablabs.

Days ago at MakerCon Autodesk, announced their yet-to-be-named “Autodesk 3D Printer.”  According to Carl Bass, the design “will be made publicly available to allow for further development and experimentation.” in RepRapish style. We really look forward to understand more. That’s an interesting move. Also Spark API concept looks interesting: Spark is an open 3D printing software platform that sits…
Very detailed procedure to cast aluminium! This page describes my first successful attempt casting aluminum parts directly from 3D printed PLA parts. The process is practically identical to lost wax, but instead of burning out the wax, I burned out the PLA plastic (which is a bio-plastic). I needed some aluminum parts to mount my…
