Earlier last week HP CEO Meg Whitman revealed that HP would have some kind of announcement regarding 3D printing this June. We take a look at a possible technology they may use. Whitman hinted at much more rapid print speeds, while also increasing accuracy. This is not really possible with existing technologies, so what might they be doing instead? One of the technologies being used in some of HP’s higher-end 2D printing devices is Memjet Waterfall Printhead Technology.

Made by Memjet and embedded into HP printers, the printhead is capable of printing ink 223mm wide at a rate of 305mm per second. Yes, that’s per SECOND. In other words, it can put out a new page in less than a second. Giles Azzaro — Mold3D. Gilles Azzaro’s seemingly impossible project was to print in 3D the invisible, to show how the indistinguishable has a shape which is unique for each one of us. With his work, Gilles Azzaro moves into a 2.0 form of artistic creation. Behind this voice sculpture, in which the invisible becomes visible, the imagination is freed to explore new frontiers. The work reveals and explores a vision, a sound and thought: you are seeing a voice for the first time ever... while hearing what you are seeing. This monumental voice print required 350 hours to print and in all 8 months work. "Next Industrial Revolution" was exhibited in the USA for the first time at the 3D Printshow, a one-off event since the exhibition takes place exactly one year to the day after President Obama made his famous speech.

A work of art which has traveled the world The sculpture has attracted attention from both the European and international media, including WIRED, the leading voice in everything Hi-tech. Stock Photography, Royalty-Free Photos, Videos & Music | Getty Images NZ.
