Studio Under develops a large & fast ceramic 3D printer. April 3, 2014 Studio Under, a design and research studio based in Israel, claimed that they have built the largest ceramic 3D printer ever made.
Founded in 2012 by Eran Gal-Or, Liat Akerman and Omer Merzel, Holon Institute of Technology grads, Studio Under focus on designing and printing ceramic products and selling them world-wide. In 2013, the studio unveiled colored ceramic 3D printing, a printing process that enables affordable multiple-color prints.
Fuel for Your Creativity! Results from 3D Printing survey 2013: adoption, 3D printers, 3D printing services. Sep.17, 2013 Statistical Studies of Peer Production completed the second survey on the 3D printing community.
This year they had 344 people respond to their survey (358 in 2012). In 2013 more people with Master Degrees participated the survey. "The percentage of 4-year college degree and Master's degree is 67%, last year it was 51%. " Some interesting results are: 1. 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.
News and Events - TTP Group. Press releases prev : next New Vista 3D is the first printer technology available with multi-material capabilities and potential to revolutionise the manufacturing industry within ten years Cambridge, UK: 4 September 2013 TTP has today unveiled its ground breaking Vista 3D, which is the first print head technology that can print with more than one material.
Unlike existing 3D printing solutions, the same Vista 3D print heads can dispense or print ceramics, and even biological cells, as well as the traditional metals and plastics, opening up the possibility of printing products as diverse as toys, medical devices, aircraft parts and even diagnostic test strips at the touch of a button.

From Concept to Reality: 3D Design and Printing for the Common Man. 3D printing has changed the way I think about how I interact with the world.
As I have learned to use the tools, I think a lot about how to use printing to make my world more functional, more exciting or just cooler! Being able to make something that doesn’t exist or that costs more than I want to pay has been inspiring and fascinating. And really, once you learn a few simple tools, it’s EASY and FUN!! There are many ways to go about making 3-D Models for printing. Some of these ways involve putting forth a lot of money into high cost software with esoteric control schemes and then a lot of effort into learning how to use them.
This instructable focuses on giving you a crash course into the most simple ways I have found to get you making physical objects from your computer. W.Afate 3D printer. On dit de l’imprimante 3D qu’elle aura le même impact que la machiné à vapeur.

Filez un coup de pouce à l’innovation « Made in Africa ! Large Seamless 3D Printed Sculptures Now Possible with Krylon Fusion for PLA #3DThursday #3DPrinting. July 4, 2013 AT 2:00 am Many artists and designers have been switching to desktop 3D printers that print only in PLA from solutions printing in ABS, but this has lead to a whole host of questions about options for “post-processing” or “finishing techniques” (how to sand/score/paint/join) for these materials as most of the existing resources come from past 3D printing experiments and from architectural model building point to ABS and styrene related solutions, such as the popular industrial solvent acetone.
Artist Micah Ganske has been experimenting with the plastic-specific one-coat Krylon Fusion spray paints and has been having good success coating a massive assembly of parts to make it look as if it was produced that way. This is good news as most of the plastic-related adhesives and spray paints are designed with solvents not suited to PLA, but this one worked really well.
Is Eco-Friendly 3D Printing a Myth? Melba Kurman, author, and Hod Lipson, Cornell University associate professor in mechanical and aerospace engineering, are co-authors of "Fabricated: The New World of 3D Printing" (John Wiley & Sons, 2013) and leading voices in the field of 3D printing.
They contributed this article to LiveScience's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights as part of their new LiveScience series highlighting issues and developments in 3D-printing technology. A few years ago, the consensus was happily (and naively) positive that 3D printing was innately greener than conventional manufacturing technologies. The truth is that today, the jury is still out. Dood présente DOM: Digital Object Maker, Imprimante 3D. The project Who are we?

Optomec launches new 3D printer for metal additive manufacturing. Jun.12, 2013 Optomec announced today availability of a new metal 3D Printer named the LENS 450.
The LENS 450 is built on the same LENS core technology that is used to repair, coat and rapidly manufacture a wide variety of high performance metal components. LENS deposition systems use the energy from a high-power laser to build up structures one layer at a time directly from powdered metals. The LENS process is housed in a chamber which is purged with argon such that the oxygen level stays below 10 parts per million to ensure there is no impurity pick-up during deposition. The metal powder is fed to the process by Optomec's proprietary powder-feed system, which is able to flow small quantities of powder very precisely. New Nylon filament for 3D printers, made in Italy. Jun.13, 2013 Italian company 3ntr has launched a new nylon filament developed specifically for 3d printers.
This 3mm polyamide 6 filament is made up of 99.9% PA6 Polymer, no plasticizers, no fiberglass, and 0.1% soap to ease processing. It is not as flexible as Taulman's Nylon, but it is aimed to print structural parts that must be able to resist static and dynamic loads. According to 3ntr, settings for printing polyamide 6 are similar to ABS, only the printing temps should be 240-280°C, and the best printing results can be obtained with layer thinner than 0.25mm. In addition, Polyamide 6 has different adhesion properties from other common use plastic for 3D printers (PLA or ABS), 3ntr suggests users to use bachelite or nylon bed for the best result. 3ntr was established in late fifties to make corsetry parts.
"Funny enough we end up using latest technologies (linear motors, lasers, robots, ultrasonic welders, micronized polymers, hot melt systems)", says Ardizzoia. The fastest filament extrusion Bot, makes ABS/PLA in color. by Mark Dill. When we reach 80k --- Free ABS or PLA Pellets.

MakerCase - Easy Laser Cut Case Design. Robohand on Indiegogo: 3D printing collaboration creates helping hands.
May.8, 2013 "Lend me a hand" has taken on a totally new meaning, thanks to the inspirational project called Robohand. Robohand is a story of collaboration from 10,000 miles apart between Richard Van As, a woodworker from Johannesburg, South Africa, and Ivan Owen, a theatrical prop designer from Seattle, Washington, and made possible using 3D printing technology.
The first hand was fitted to a 5 year old boy Liam who has come leaps and bounds with using his Robohand. This was done for free. Up to now Robohand has helped 4 children in total in South Africa with Robohands but the team has run out of funding to continue to provide this device for free. The idea was originally conceived by Richard Van As to replace four severed fingers that he lost in a woodworking accident in 2011.

This design is, of course, far from optimized particularly with respect to cost and DYI, it is primarily being used by the Michigan Tech in Open Sustainability Technology Research Group to make new fucntionalized 3-D printing materials (e.g. electrically conductive) to support a full range of products open-source disributed manufacturing...lots more to come.
Some of the improved features over RecycleBot v2.2 are: 1. Type of plastic can be selected from the keypad interface and the controller automatically updates the extrusion temperature for the plastic. 2. Extrusion temperature can also be feed by the keypad interface for any type of plastic which can be melted and extruded. 3. LCD interface for better process monitoring. 4. The energy performance of v2.2 can also be significantly improved with insulation. LYMAN FILAMENT EXTRUDER II by hlyman.
