Looking for business models for 3D Printer | Digital | ZEIT ONLINE: Maker Movement Was passiert, wenn 3D-Drucker alltäglich werden? Was werden die Menschen drucken wollen? Und wie kann man damit Geld verdienen? Speichern Drucken Twitter Facebook Google + 3D-Drucker vom Typ Ultimaker im Einsatz | © Patrick Beuth / ZEIT ONLINE Mit neuen Konsumbedürfnissen ist das so eine Sache. 3D-Drucker für zu Hause, eine zurzeit mehr schlecht als recht funktionierende Technik , sind angeblich das nächste große Ding. Anzeige Noch ist der Markt eine winzige Nische, noch gibt es mehr Artikel über 3D-Drucker, als es 3D-Drucker in privaten Haushalten gibt. Mehrere amerikanische Firmen haben sich dazu in Stellung gebracht, vorneweg das New Yorker Unternehmen MakerBot und der Konzern 3D Systems, zu dessen Unternehmensgruppe mittlerweile auch der ehemalige Konkurrent Bits from Bytes gehört. Beliebt: Murmelbahnen ausdrucken Einigermaßen erschwinglich sind 3D-Drucker also schon. Was die Murmelbahnen bei Thingiverse, das sind die Ringe und Armreifen bei 3D Systems.

Natural Machines: The makers of Foodini - a 3D food printer making all types of fresh, nutritious foods. Science and Design Evidence Dolls by Dunne and Raby uses 100 plastic dolls to provoke discussion about the impact of genetic technology on young single women Tomorrow night Wellcome Collection’s Supper Club welcomes designers Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby, the duo behind our stunning new window display, ‘What If…’. It’s an interesting project, largely because when one thinks of design in a product sense, one usually thinks of technology rather than science. So when I met Dunne, Raby and the ‘What If…’ designers at the display’s launch party, what I wanted to know is: what can design and science teach each other? “Designers normally work at the end of the process, where the science has become a technology, which has already become a product,” Anthony Dunne told me. ‘What If…’ explores what might happen if designers and scientists interacted earlier: what sort of role might design play? Consumer engagement Why create imaginary products? Scatalog How did it come to this? “Imagine,” says Ginsberg: “It’s 2049.

Creative Anarky 2 CREATIVE ANARKY - and the Art and Science of Touch! How cool does that sound? What does it mean? Our ethos is about democratising 3D digital modelling, re-drawing the conventional boundaries by using a software/hardware system that gives you the user a very real sense of touch for a more natural way of working. You have the opportunity to put the ‘passion’ back into digital creativity and the creative freedom to stretch the scope of your imagination. And the great news is that our software/hardware system, our Anarkik 3D Design package that Farah is using in the video, is up for a 3DPrintShow Global Award in the ‘Best Consumer Software’ category. (You can vote for us at this link: as the award is voted for by the public and is not a panel vote. Add to this the readily available 3D printing facilities and your models can be transformed into real innovative customised objects, all at a fraction of the cost not previously thought possible. Why are we seeking your help?

Digital Design and fabrication Statistical Studies of Peer Production » Manufacturing in motion: first survey on 3D printing community by Jarkko Moilanen & Tere Vadén Another industrial revolution? Yochai Benkler’s book is available online as PDF, HTML and many other formats Economists and theorists of innovation such as Jeremy Rifkin , Yochai Benkler, Michel Bauwens , and several others have concluded that the Third Industrial Revolution is at hand [3, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15]. Often the discussion around this topic refers to emerging new technologies such as clever software, novel materials, nanotechnology, more dexterous robots and new processes such as three-dimensional printing or the new wave of rapid manufacturing developed by the open source/hardware community, and the associated distributed ways of organising design and production. 3D printing has been around for a few decades already. In the old world (dinosaur age in software development), the proprietary approach was dominant, companies held their innovations inside and sold binaries to customers.

3D printing This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. You can assist by editing it. (September 2015) 3D printing in the term's original sense refers to processes that sequentially deposit material onto a powder bed with inkjet printer heads. History Terminology and methods CAD model used for 3D printing By the early 2010s, the terms 3D printing and additive manufacturing developed senses in which they were synonymous umbrella terms for all AM technologies. With the maturation of the technology, several authors had begun to speculate that 3-D printing could aid in sustainable development in the developing world.[15][16][17] General principles 3D model slicing Modeling 3D printable models may be created with a computer aided design (CAD) package or via a 3D scanner or by a plain digital camera and photogrammetry software. Printing Printer resolution describes layer thickness and X-Y resolution in dots per inch (dpi) or micrometers (µm). Finishing Processes Lamination

No.5 Sub-Theme Exhibition:WHAT IF - Beijing International Design Triennial Exhibition Space: about 900 square meters Curatorial team: Fiona Raby Partner of Dunne & Raby, Reader in Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art, London Professor of Industrial Design at the University of Applied Arts,Vienna Anthony Dunne Partner of Dunne & Raby, Professor and Head of the Design Interactions Department at the Royal College of Art in London Jin Jiangbo Chinese New Media Artist, Director of the Shanghai Creative Designers Association, Visiting scholar of the University of Auckland, New Zealand Interpretation of the Theme Do we design for how the world is now? The projects in this exhibition ask ‘what if…?’ For a while now, we’ve been very interested in the space between reality and the impossible, a space of dreams, hopes, and fears. There are no solutions here, or even answers, just lots of questions, thoughts, ideas and possibilities, all expressed through the language of design.

orG is a simple, open source 3D printing program - ReplicatorG This is the software that will drive your MakerBot Replicator, Thing-O-Matic, CupCake CNC, RepRap machine, or generic CNC machine. You can give it a GCode or STL file to process, and it takes it from there. It's cross platform, easily installed, and is based on the familiar Arduino / Processing environments. ReplicatorG is used by thousands of MakerBot Operators, and has printed tens of thousands of 3D objects and counting.

Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects SAFE: Design Takes On Risk SAFE: Design Takes On Risk, the first major design exhibition at MoMA since its reopening in November 2004, presents more than 300 contemporary products and prototypes designed to protect body and mind from dangerous or stressful circumstances, respond to emergencies, ensure clarity of information, and provide a sense of comfort and security. These objects address the spectrum of human fears and worries, from the most mundane to the most exceptional, from the dread of darkness and loneliness to the threat of earthquakes and terrorist attacks. The exhibition covers all forms of design, from manufactured products to information architecture. Featured products include refugee shelters, demining equipment, baby strollers, and protective sports gear. Designers are trained to balance risk with protection and to mediate between disruptive change and normalcy; good design goes hand in hand with personal needs, providing protection and security without sacrificing innovation and invention.
