An interesting printer that prints circuits on various materials. Despite it’s high price points and the rumors that the ink will we costly as well, that’s an amazing piece of work. Printing a circuit isn’t exactly a new idea. In fact, researchers have been putting down silver nano particles using a process similar to ink-jet…
This R-360 open source printer has a cool approach and basically uses a rotating plate to keep its size ultra small. It’s a cool project since it’s rare to see innovations going towards simplicity. via R-360 : The most simple and modular 3D printer! by Replicator Warehouse — Kickstarter.
You’ll probably already know but this week Solid Concepts self dubbed “a world leader of 3D Printing services” actually 3D synthered a metal gun for the first time. and our ability to 3D Print the world’s first metal gun solidifies our standing. The gun is a classic 1911, a model that is at once timeless and…
Spotted on Social Media: a tool to protect the exchange of STL mesh files from espionage and censorship. Disarming Corruptor is a tool for making reversible damage to your STL mesh file. This means you can obliterate it into something totally unrecognisable, share it online under its new guise, and selectively distribute the key code…
A super interesting project coming from Slovenia: KORUZA is an innovative open-source open-hardware wireless communication system, employing a new low-cost approach to designing free-space optical network systems, enabling building-to-building connectivity with a highly collimated light beam at a capacity of 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) at distances up to 100 m. It is designed to be suitable…
As you probably know if you have one, the overall printing quality of the 3Drag printer is very well suited for the creation of useful items: this time we have created a container for the autonomous printing system. This post, by the way, could really be a good inspiration and guideline not only for the…
According to 3Ders (http://www.3ders.org/articles/20131006-6-axis-3d-printer.html) this video shows preliminary works for a 6-axis 3D Printer using Parallel Kinematics driven by a KFLOP board Most additive manufacturing processes are layer-based with only three-dimensional motions in the X, Y and Z axes. However, there are drawbacks associated with such limited motions, e.g. non-conformal material properties, stair-stepping effect, and limitations…
We actually had the chance to see this project in action at the Rome Maker Faire. Amazing stuff: The Perpetual Plastic Project is all about the local recycling of plastics. Last summer the project was successfully launched at the Lowlands festival 2012. Our mini-factory was installed and visitors could recycle their used drinking cups into…
Another groundbreaking Italian project in 3Dprinting (seen at Rome Maker Faire). Our mission is to reutilize the waste material resulting from the marbles production process. Sludge and waste are a consequence of the production system, this marble dust is complex and expensive to dispose of. But if mixed with special resins and catalysed with UV…
Never too late to invent something great: Hugh Lyman, an 83-year-old retiree from Enumclaw, Washington, won The Desktop Factory Competition with his design for a low-cost, open-source machine capable of turning resin pellets into inexpensive filament for 3D printing. The competition, sponsored by Inventables, Kauffman, and the Maker Education Initiative, required that the parts used to make…
3D printing technology has already been used to create elegant, edible 3D printed sweets made out of sugar. But now designer Philippe Malouin is using a 3D printer to create a variety of sugar-based plates and bowls in a project called Dunes. While the idea of edible sugar dishware that simply melts away in the…
