Shapeways, the startup that lets you print 3D designs, gets a $30 million cash infusion. A 3D printed heart made by Shapeways.
We keep hearing about the 3D printing revolution, a new era of manufacturing in which kids print their own toys and anarchists print their own guns, but the technology is still far from mainstream. At least one company, however, is making 3D printing more accessible than ever in a very tangible way: Shapeways, the online community that has amassed a collection of more than a million user-uploaded 3D designs. Shapeways is possibly the most versatile 3D printing startup out there. The site allows users to upload and download designs, order prints in more than 30 materials, and sell fully fabricated items.

And it doesn’t hurt that the company behind it, Siva Cycles, hopes to donate one of their wheel-mounted chargers to people in need in developing countries for every 10 sold.
The Atom is a lightweight (300 gram), high-efficiency bicycle generator that can charge your mobile device while you pedal–or after the fact thanks to a detachable 1300mAh battery pack. The good news is that, if funded, this project actually stands a chance of becoming a real thing. The Atom will retail for $105.

Use This McDonald's "Potato Holder" and Enjoy Fries While You Drive. Your parents do it.
Your neighbor does it, too. Even you have probably been guilty of it. We’re talking, of course, about the time honored tradition of eating in the car. We’d like to think that even folks back in the year 1910 were cruising down the road in their Model Ts munching on a salami or whatever they ate back then. To further enable in-car eaters, the drive-thru was invented resulting in cars being infiltrated by wayward French fries dropped while driving. Starting April 24, patrons who purchase a value meal with a large order of fries will receive a free “potato holder.” Now if only they added a built-in napkin dispenser so drivers won’t have to wipe their greasy potato fingers on the steering wheel.
