Shapeways - Make, buy, and sell products with 3D Printing. Artec Helps Create Customers at Conceptual Japanese Pop-Up Store — Artec 3D Scanners. 3D scanning and 3D printing are innovative technologies that complement each other and both were used in a project by Party, Inc.-- "Omote 3D Shashin Kan.
" The Artec MHT scanner allowed Party, a "creative lab" based in Tokyo and New York, to realize their idea of a pop-up photo booth. The photo booth was open for two months in “Eye of Gyre” Gallery in Tokyo, and produced 3D printed human miniatures. The miniatures, a “mini me” version of oneself, were made through a combination of Artec 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies. Customers stood still while staff scanned their entire bodies with the Artec MHT scanner.
The miniature figures were then printed in color on a 3D printer. 'The idea came from the point where we started to think about what we could do using 3D scanners and 3D printers together,' says PARTY founder Masashi Kawamura, who was recently included in Fast Company's ranking of the '100 Most Creative People in Business'.

Replicating A Pony: 3D Printing with Michael Perrone. Imagine if you will that you could have any pony toy created whenever you want… of whatever you want!
Be it an OC or a background pony that just doesn’t have a toy, there are fans trying to make 3D printing of ponies a reality. I interviewed Michael Perrone, owner of a 3D printing service called Futuralization, on 3D printing in the My Little Pony community and the possibilities of 3D printing as a whole. Read on after the cut! How did you get into My Little Pony? Way back in 2010 when I still had time for such frolicsome things, I used to browse KnowYourMeme, Reddit, and 4chan for entertainment.
How did you get into 3D printing? I saw it in the news a bunch as it was starting up, so I had a mild interest: I’m that sort of nerd. Were any of your friends into 3D printing, or were you the one who introduced it to the group? By the time I got there, the lab already had at least 3 printers. How did you get your first 3D printer? Is that the same printer you use today? Rapid Ready Technology. 3D Printing. You are in: Future Technologies : 3D Printing 3D Printing Imagine a future in which a device connected to a computer can print a solid object.
A future in which we can have tangible goods as well as intangible services delivered to our desktops or highstreet shops over the Internet. And a future in which the everyday "atomization" of virtual objects into hard reality has turned the mass pre-production and stock-holding of a wide range of goods and spare parts into no more than an historical legacy. Such a future may sound like it is being plucked from the worlds of Star Trek. The following provides an overview of 3D printing technologies and their present and likely future application. Current Technologies. 3D Printing News. Fab@Home - Make Anything. RepRapWiki. TEDxEWB Talk: Adrian Bowyer at Imperial College, London, introduces RepRap RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine.
RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend... RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution.
RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017. MakerGear.com - Welcome.
