285-micron racecar (credit: Vienna University of Technology) Printing three dimensional objects with very fine details using two-photon lithography can now be achieved orders of magnitude faster than similar devices in a breakthrough by Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) researchers. The 3D printing process uses a liquid resin, which is hardened at precisely the correct spots by a focused laser beam.

Marcelo Coelho, an industrial designer at the Fluid Interfaces Group within MIT's Media Lab, is the creator of the Digital Chocolatier, which would look like a dangerous tool for nefarious medical experiments if it wasn't usually filled with chocolate and nuts.

Hod Lipson , a roboticist and supervisor of Cornell University's Fab@Home project, is working towards a goal that, like so many others in the 3-D printing world, sounds simple, but is anything but. He wants to print a robot, all in one shot, and have it walk (or crawl, or slither) out of the printer, fully formed. The project is actually not too far off; at this point, the Fab@Home team can create all of the individual components, including a battery and an actuator, in a 3-D printer--but they don't want to print these components separately and assemble them later.A VC: Shapeways and 3D Printing
Last week, in the thread on Herky Jerky Investing , the AVC community forked into an incredible discussion about 3D printing and our portfolio company Shapeways . If you click on this link , you'll see that the conversation just goes on and on and on.
It’s 2020 and you have severe gum disease. It’s bad enough to require surgery to replace lost bone. So your doctor pulls up a computer program, makes a few calculations, and prints out a fresh piece of bone (technically a bone-like powder) on a 3-D inkjet printer.

He just wanted to design a really cool robot, one that could "evolve" by reprogramming itself and would also produce its own hardware--a software brain, if you will, with the ability to create a body.
Ever wondered how a 3D printer actually works, or thought about building one from a kit? These step-by-step photos show how to start with a collection of parts and end with a finished printer. A few weeks ago, we posted A 2D Tour of a 3D Printer Factory , with lots of photos of 3D printer manufacturer Buildatron Systems's facilities.

The Makerbot Replicator is a personal 3D printer , which can create three-dimensional objects through connecting and layering successive cross sections of material. The new version is bigger, better, and easier to set up than earlier MakerBots. In this video Tim made at CES , MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis shows us how wonderful a device it is, and tells us why every child (and most adults) should have a MakerBot.

The future of manufacturing and design relies on a printer that costs up to $60,000. MIT Media Lab professor Neri Oxman and materials science professor Craig Carter have created machinery that makes 3D printing of buildings and other structural prototypes a reality.

« Quickly producing a 3D model allows us to visualize the real thing rather than an image, which helps to make decisions on its proportions and evaluate perceptions of the object. » Stores and designers can embed the 3D printing revolution into their online shop, using the professional Sculpteo easy integration solution...Photo: Michel Pilon Water may freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but it prints at about minus 8. This is just one of the insights that Pieter Sijpkes, a professor emeritus at McGill University, has discovered since cobbling together a machine that prints objects by building up ultrathin layers of ice.

Earl Grey. Hot,” is the command synonymous for every fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation with one of that show’s most magical technologies: the replicator. Using 25th-century mastery over matter and energy, the Enterprise’s replicators can create virtually any desired object for which it’s programmed, from a replacement engine part to Captain Picard’s beverage of choice. No need to wait centuries, however. The beginnings of that technology may be making its way into your home within the next five years and sparking an industrial revolution in the process.
