Lumifold, is raising funds on kickstarter: interesting concept and very ambitious machine! This is probably the smallest (measuring just 250 x 120 x 30mm when folded) that you can really travel with, and you still have a building area of 90 x 90 x 90mm. This printer is the best choice as your first 3d…
These guys want to create the first $100 3Dprinter (that actually sports also Scannig features). The project is still in it’s infancy but it’s so cool that was hyper funded on kickstarter. Cool stuff: See how it works: The peachy printer is a Photolithographic printer. That means it uses a controlled beam of light to…
We know that we can’t talk speed without first investing in reliability. After all, there’s so much time lost in 3D printing because so much effort is put in making the machines work. Reliability has always been one of our core goals at Radiant Fabrication. We’ve never been about producing the cheapest 3D printer but…
The Open Hand Project is an open source project with the goal of making robotic prosthetic hands more accessible to amputees. The Dextrus hand is the realization of this goal, it’s a robotic hand that can be put together for well under £650 ($1000) and offers much of the functionality of a human hand The…
You’ve still seven six more days to support this ambitious project looking for 1M$!: Mebotics: Microfactory – “World’s First Machine Shop in a Box” The first widely-available machine to marry both additive and subtractive manufacturing, integrating machining, 3D printing and etching into a safe, self-cleaning, networkable unit • An ultimate all-in-one factory for small business – biotech & design…
Interestingly enough, Stratasys developed a technology to 3d print injection molds: In manufacturing, 3D printing has turned the production of injection molded prototypes into a quick, easy and inexpensive process. Read on and watch how Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing technology helps a team at Budapest University create an injection mold with POM (acetal) for functional…
A good post on MIT technology review, will help you understand more of this technology. Copyright enforcement in 3D printing is still an open issue: People in the 3-D printing world have talked for years about the possibility of unauthorized copying and sharing of designs—similar to what the file-sharing program Napster allowed for music. Now…
The excitement around the new personal fabrication tool that is raising funds on Indiegogo is growing every day: the funding object has been pulverized in few days and the team is already working on adding new extended stretch goals. In this new episode of the “Meet The Funders” column, we host an interview with Marco…
An graet fabrication device is coming from Italy and is raising money on indiedgogo! Fabtotum is a multipurpose tool, the first Low Cost Desktop Personal Fabrication device that can operate a wide range of Computer controlled (CNC) manufacturing processes. Print, Cut, Mill, Scan, Manipulate. Rinse and repeat! A seamless interaction between the physical and the…
Here’s an update about the Grizzly 3Dprinting Rifle In an article on the Huffington post is reported that: The second version of the 3D-printed rifle, the Grizzly 2.0, was fired for the first time in a video released Friday, and this time it lasted 14 rounds before a crack formed. Even though the rifle is made…
This post follows a first one in which we presented some tips about how to tune printing (with 3Drag but also in general). Here you’ll find 5 more cool 3D prints to experiment with! Porcupine Vase This is an easy print difficulties, with reduced printing times, but it’s. It belongs to the category of…
Today the guys from openPicus published their video of them assembling the 3Drag 3D printer we just sent them in one day. It’s impressive to see the assembly from this perspective: we knew that we made a great job both with design and building choices and instructions but the feedback about the ease off assembly is really…
