The ESP32 from Espressif is one of the most popular low-power microcontrollers with integrated WiFi and Bluetooth on the market. That is why we have decided to share a tutorial with you on how to get started with the ESP32 and Zerynth Studio. As an article on the Espressif website states: “Zerynth has provided the…
Arduino has today launched a global contest that challenges users of its open-source electronics platform to create innovative products that help advance the development of Industry 4.0 automation and robotics applications. The contest is being run in partnership with electronics and automation distributor Distrelec, and is hosted at the Arduino Project Hub. Contestants are required to…
Amazing product and 500% funded in only two days, here is Wazer, the first desktop waterjet cutter, that will be also open sourced (the hardware part at least): WAZER is the first waterjet cutter that can fit in every workshop. It cuts through any material and is compact and contained, making it, clean, safe and…
Crew members aboard the International Space Station (ISS) recently put a very interesting thing into orbit—a 3D printer. The printer, created in tandem by Lowe’s and a company called Made in Space, could be used to produce tools and items needed in case of an emergency, or just for everyday use. The printer was installed…
Barcelona based 3D printer developer BCN3D Technologies decided to further embrace the additive manufacturing open-source philosophy with their latest initiative, Open Source 360º. As part of the initiative, the company has announced that it will share all of its engineering, design, and fabrication information used in the manufacturing of their flagship product, the BCN3D Sigma…
The technology of additive manufacturing is capable of resolutions of only a few microns. On that basis, 3D printing is usually considered a technology to make small, precise, and detailed objects. Quite frankly, this notion is a mistake. 3D printing can go small, certainly, but it can also go BIG. Here are the biggest 3D…
Stratasys announces its Automotive and Entertainment forum in June, 7th-8th Los Angeles (CA). You can register here if interested. In the same event, it would be possible to see two of the most impressive 3d printer that Stratasys makes for the professional market: the J750 printer and the Objet1000 plus. Stratasys J750 is the ultimate…
Stratasys Announces Winners of the Twelfth Annual Extreme Redesign 3D Printing Challenge. Zachary Trippodo, a student at Fairfield Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, Connecticut designed an underwater hotel and it won him first place in the Art & Architecture category of the Stratasys 2016 Extreme Redesign 3D Printing Challenge. Trippodo’s hotel design expands – quite literally –…
Metal 3D printing is currently being used for the development of some of the most exciting 3D printed parts around, from airplane engine components to space-bound satellites. But the reality is that metal 3D printing encompasses a very diverse group of technologies that are piled together, even though they use different techniques for forging different…
MakerBot has announced that it will no longer manufacture its own hardware. Over the course of the next six months, the company will transition the building of its 3D printers and other products to Jabil, a contract manufacturer with facilities in China. As a result, the company will shut down its manufacturing operations in the Industry…
New industries, new intelligence… a worrying security leak could damage the just-in-time production companies! A new discovery has revealed a fundamental security flaw in today’s 3D printers. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) say that by simply recording the noises a 3D printer makes while it’s printing, it’s possible to reverse-engineer the design…
MichielD99 is a 16 year old Belgian teenage maker. It is amazing that, with the tools and materials available today, a young person, really any person, can create something as sophisticated and professional-looking as this laser engraver. To drive the machine, he used an Arduino UNO with two NEMA-17 stepper motors and stepper motor drivers…
