If anyone was in any way uncertain of 3D printing, they probably aren’t now. The world’s first gun made with 3D printer technology was made available on line and within hours its blueprints had been downloaded over 100,000 times.

[Source: Forbes] The controversy and security surrounding the production of the 3D gun made by a Texan based company I’m sure will be deliberated long in to the month of May. #3dprinting - 3d-printer daily. 3D Printing Education Resources « Teaching and learning projects and resources for 3D printing.

Next month, the 3DP-following world is going to witness yet another opening of an industry related web-based company — a 3D model online repository called My Mini Factory. Differentiation-wise My Mini Factory – apparently — doesn’t use the business model that is emerging as the industry standard – the upload for free, download for fee -concept. Instead, they offer users free downloads, category and catalogue extensions by request, yet still offer suitable monetary incentives for the uploaders. At first glance then, this might seem like a project that has been just quickly thrown together to ride the growing tidal wave of 3DP – and the simultaneously greater potential of online ad revenues – but there’s a name in the bottom of the invitation page at Meetup , which pushes those initial thoughts aside. What is holographic print.

A holographic print is a rendition of a hologram on a flat surface, producing 3-D (three-dimensional) effects when viewed.

What is holographic print

A holographic print differs from a traditional hologram in that the print does not require any special lighting arrangements to yield the 3-D effect. The viewer does not need any task-specific eyewear to view the image. Holographic prints are extensively used for identification and security purposes. Credit cards, driver licenses, passports, and security badges commonly have small holographic prints embedded on their surfaces.

Holographic prints work especially well in these applications because the image cannot be duplicated with a scanner or photocopier, and counterfeiting such an image has proven exceptionally difficult and expensive.

3D Printing Basics

What is 3D printing? 3D printing is also known as desktop fabrication or additive manufacturing, it is a prototyping process whereby an real object is created from a 3D design. The digital 3D-model is saved in STL format and then sent to a 3D printer. The 3D printer then print the design layer by layer and form a real object. 2. 3D printing technologies Quite a few technologies are capable to do 3D printing. Software - Products. 3DCrafter™ 3DCrafter is a real-time 3D modeling and animation tool that incorporates an intuitive drag-and-drop approach to 3D modeling.

Software - Products

Complex models can be constructed from simple 3D primitives, or created using 3DCrafter's Shape Building Tools. Modeling tools are provided to deform, sculpt, and paint 3D shapes. Creating an animated scene is as simple as positioning the shapes within your scene for each point in time in your animation. 3DCrafter will ensure that the resulting animation runs smoothly.

The Third Industrial Revolution: How the Internet, Green Electricity, and 3-D Printing are Ushering in a Sustainable Era of Distributed Capitalism

Oil and the other fossil fuel energies that make up the industrial way of life are sunsetting, and the technologies made from and propelled by these energies are antiquated. The entire industrial infrastructure built off of fossil fuels is aging and in disrepair. The result is that unemployment is rising to dangerous levels all over the world. Governments, businesses and consumers are awash in debt and living standards are declining everywhere. 3D metal printing. 3D Printing Dreams. 3-D Printed Windpipe Gives Infant Breath of Life.

Read More » Kaiba Gionfriddo was six weeks old when he suddenly stopped breathing and turned blue at a restaurant. Kaiba’s parents quickly rushed him to the hospital where they learned that his left bronchial tube had collapsed because of a previously undetected birth defect. During the next few weeks the life-threatening attacks recurred, increasing in number until they became everyday events.

The trachea, or windpipe, is essentially constructed much like a vacuum cleaner hose, says Glenn Green, an ear nose and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) at the University of Michigan, who helped to develop the device. For unknown reasons, however, some cases are extremely severe. Materialise. A Few Ways to Improve 3D Printing Interfaces. Mar.30, 2013 | By Fred Kahl I just got back from a great meetup that Keith Ozar organized at 3D Systems offices in Manhattan tonight.

They showcased the new CubeX printer and a new version of its software that they have in development. The conversation we had is one that I keep having: In order for 3D printing to get a critical mass for home users, the software has to get better. Currently there's too many softwares needed to print models and too many steps needed.

Likewise the controls for printing objects need better control. Infographic: Navigating the Future of Industry. April 28, 2013 Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich), a leading multi-line insurance provider in North America released recently a new infographic to help students, business leaders, and entrepreneurs prepare for the next decade of America's economic evolution.

The graphic, which was created by revisiting 10 prior decades of industrial change, suggests that manufacturing, energy and agriculture industries will once again become hot categories. In addition, changes in technology will transform services and the ways in which people keep themselves healthy. What's next for American industry? It's back to the future as energy, agriculture, and manufacturing become hot industries once again, and services go through a radical transformation toward personalization. 3D Printers Demonstrate Rapid Robot Evolution. NEW YORK — Robots are simply more efficient than humans at certain tasks.

3D Printers Demonstrate Rapid Robot Evolution

They already excel at building cars, exploring distant planets and hunting for explosives, but it turns out that robots might also evolve much faster than their flesh-and-blood counterparts. Nick Cheney, a Ph.D. student at Cornell University, presented his research at an Inside Cornell lecture on May 21. Cheney has developed a method by which complex computer simulations in a specific virtual environment — robots , by his definition — can evolve from selective pressures, just like animals in nature, but on a timescale of days instead of countless generations. To demonstrate the technology, Cheney showed how a series of diverse but effective robots spontaneously evolved from a single, inefficient ancestor.

He programmed a virtual environment with only one parameter: robots that moved faster would be able to produce more offspring. 3D Printing Event. Sugar Lab 3D printed sweet geometric sculptures entirely from sugar. May.20, 2013 Los Angeles-based Kyle and Liz, a husband and wife architectural design team in Los Angeles have figured out a way to 3D print objects using sugar. It all started when they were graduate students and they wanted to make a birthday cake for their friend, but they didn't have an oven. So they decided to try to 3D print a cake instead.

The Large Hadron Collider is latest member of CERN's collection of extraordinary high-energy facilities and is the world's largest and highest-energy accelerator. It occupies a 27 kilometer circumference circular tunnel near Geneva which overlaps the Swiss-French border, the same tunnel that contains the LEP.

Successful particle beams were produced in the LHC in 2008 and in 2010 the two beams reached 3.5 TeV, half the target maximum for the accelerator. Currently the work at the LHC is divided into six experiments denoted by the names ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb, TOTEM and LHCf. Quantum Diaries. Www.so.stfc.ac.uk/publications/pdf/CERN-TheGRID.pdf.

A particle with an identity crisis could provide the next big discovery at the world's largest particle accelerator. The D meson has been caught in the act of flipping between matter and antimatter, researchers report online March 5 in Physical Review Letters. D mesons, like other mesons, are short-lived particles that emerge from the shrapnel of proton collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider outside Geneva.

All of these particles decay within tiny fractions of a second. But four mesons, including the D, occasionally do something strange first: They become antiparticles.
