Critics of the open source economy point out that “Open source is a system of development that doesn’t have the requisite positive feedback loops needed to build a viable economic system.” Open Source Ecology released their “4 years review” demonstrating the contrary. OSE mission is to build the 50 machines fundamental to live our modern…
A research group at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (iaac.net), based in Barcelona set on a goal of re-elaborating 3D printing techniques to overcome existing limitations for large scale application. Here are the first results: “The objective was to develop a family of small scale construction robots, all mobile and capable of constructing…
The 2015 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, has been the largest and most amazing exhibition in the history of CES so far, according to Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) that is the owner and showrunner of this fair. The venue stretched over more than 2.2 million net square feet of exhibit…
Interesting and encouraging update from KORUZA project. For those who don’t remember, KORUZA system wants to find the “most effective and low-cost design enabling 1 Gbps connectivity of structures up to 100m apart”. The current version heavily relies on 3D printing for producing the vast majority of parts possibly suitable for the construction out of…
As you may know, making 3D prints electronically functional is complex and requires a separate manufacturing process to add circuit boards, wiring, and electronic components. To answer this key problem, Functionalize is now carrying on a kickstarter campaign for a conductive 3dprinter filament that is showing a huge potential to revolutionize personal manufacturing: LED Flashlight Printed with…

Well, when it comes to creating original chocolate mixes you will probably be born, but if you want to succeed in the art of pastry, then everyone can be made: you just need…
After setting the bar on Sharing Economy, the Korean government also wants to be the best in nurturing SME innovation thanks to 3D printing: The government yesterday announced its plan to nurture the local 3-D printing industry and has will supply printers for small and midsize companies to use for free. For its project, the Industry…
Ok, we saw a lot of applications of 3Dprinting but nothing it was so strange: British scientists have come up with an innovative way of 3D printing the unusual food, which is made from insect ‘flour’, which they say could help feed the world in the future. And well, you know: that makes a lot…
These guys are aiming to fund a 3D printer with position feedback control and DC Motors: it’s an interesting project and point of view…. despite non open source! RAPPY is a DC motor powered 3D printer equipped with position feedback control system that no other 3D printer in its category has. […] Did you know…
This post celebrates few of the most incredible Open Source Hardware project from 2013. Most of these projects were crowdfunded, and I believe this tells much about how innovations is funded and encouraged these days. 2013 was a year full of open innovations and 2014 looks largely promising as both huge companies and independent developers…
This video literally unveils both the beauty and use value of 4D printing. Really can’t miss. Kinematics is a system for 4D printing that creates complex, foldable forms composed of articulated modules. The system provides a way to turn any three-dimensional shape into a flexible structure using 3D printing. Kinematics combines computational geometry techniques with…
[youtube id=”T4i3QkSMm18″ width=”620″ height=”360″] Phonebloks and Project Ara Few days ago, after the presentation of the joint venture between Phonebloks and Motorola, called Project Ara, that I pretty enthusiastically commented earlier on this blog, we reached out to Phonebloks website with a contact request. Surprisingly enough we got very soon a very kind response from…
