Déjà des imprimantes 3D personnelles à moins de 800 euros
Ce nouvel objet va-t-il envahir nos bureaux beaucoup plus vite qu'on ne l'aurait pensé ? Lorsque nous avions parlé des imprimantes 3D en 2008, pour évoquer une révolution communiste en marche, nous avions fait ce parallèle avec l'évolution du prix des imprimantes papier pour montrer que le coût actuellement inabordable de l'impression d'objets pourrait rapidement baisser : Le prix d'une imprimante personnelle est passé d'environ 1000 euros en 1982 à 300 euros en 1997... et seulement 20 euros aujourd'hui pour les moins chères. C'est-à-dire que le prix de l'imprimante personnelle a été divisé par 50 en une seule génération (et ceci sans même tenir compte de l'inflation). Aujourd'hui, Desktop Factory propose déjà des imprimantes 3D personnelles à moins de 5000 dollars. Si l'on suit le schéma de l'impression 2D, une imprimante d'objets pourrait ainsi coûter 100 dollars vers 2030, ce qui n'est pas si lointain.

3D Printing Roadshow 2014 In the new economy status quo is unacceptable. Customers demand more creativity and quality. Manufacturers demand more profitability and agility.
Matérialiser l’inexistant
La majorité des logiciels de conception intègrent désormais des fonctionnalités 3D. Il est ainsi possible de concevoir et de visualiser un projet dans l’espace, de tourner autour et de le visiter à travers un écran. L’avènement de la 3D a été applaudi car elle permet à tous de comprendre un projet, dans tous les cas plus facilement qu’en 2D. Pourtant certains nécessitent encore de ce rapport au physique, de voir en vrai le projet.
3D Printers & 3D Production Systems
The Stratasys Idea Series levels the playing field by bringing professional 3D printers to individuals and small teams, accelerating creativity. Making the leap to world-class 3D printing at such a low cost is a revolution on its own. If you’ve ever taken a 3D prototype for a test spin before production, you already know its impact. Cut turnaround time and increase quality by building prototypes right under your own roof with Stratasys Design Series 3D printers.
3D Candy Printing: An Interview with Designer Marcelo Coelho - Food
Three-dimensional printers are getting a lot of hype at the moment. In February, MakerBot Industries started shipping its Thing-o-Matic desktop 3D printer, which, at just $1,225, "democratizes" 3D printing, allowing you to "live in the cutting-edge personal manufacturing future of tomorrow!" The same month, the typically restrained Economist headlined a story "Print me a Stradivarius: How a New Manufacturing Technology Will Change the World." Business Insider even called it "The Next Trillion Dollar Industry." The idea, for those of you who aren't familiar with it, is pretty simple. You create a 3D design on your computer or download a premade blueprint.
Ceramic 3D Printing at Unfold~fab
clay goes digital It’s been just over a year since Belgian design studio Unfold 3D printed their first successful ceramic vessel on a RepRap. Since then, their blog Unfold~fab has chronicled their experiments with 3D printed ceramics including clay materials, printing methods, and a personal fabrication interface the studio developed for last year’s L’Artisan Electronique installation. Unfold~fab is a wealth of practical information and intriguing visual documentation of one of history’s oldest crafts meeting today’s technological potential.
Printer produces personalised 3D chocolate
5 July 2011Last updated at 15:08 By Katia Moskvitch Technology reporter, BBC News The printer uses chocolate instead of ink Chocolate lovers may soon be able to print their own 3D creations thanks to work by UK scientists. A 3D printer that uses chocolate has been developed by University of Exeter researchers - and it prints layers of chocolate instead of ink or plastic. Although still a prototype, several retailers have already expressed interest in taking on the device.
Multifunctional 3d printing delta robot ZeGo launching on Monday
April 26, 2014 The ongoing race to build the cheapest, most versatile 3D printer continues with the impending launch of the ZeGo bot, an opensource multifunctional delta linear robot. ZeGo Robotics, a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based startup, is set to launch ZeGo bot on crowdfunding website Indiegogo on Monday. The ZeGo bot is multifunction delta robot.
Micro 3D printer Kickstarter funding: $1 million in just one day
Micro, an unusually sleek 3D printer, is about to hit $1 million in funding on Kickstarter just a day after it started raising funds. The project hits the sweet spot for anyone interested in 3D printing as it might be the first commercially viable $300 3D printer the world has ever seen. The Micro printer is notably light, weighing just 2.2 pounds. Micro is also doing far better on Kickstarter than Foodini, the nearly equally slick-looking food-printer that created a pretty respectable media splash, but has raised just under $60,000 so far.
Complete Assembled Electronics Kit for RepRap for $215.00
Eric, Spacexula, all others who are interested. I can provide the drawings as pdf's, since that is the only method of exporting them from my software. I can provide a pdf for each "layer" of a gerber file. If you are using a full version of adobe, it even makes them editable. When I say that the program I use is proprietary, I mean it.
voxeljet Concept: The First Continuous 3D Printer
If there ever was a major leap in the evolution of the 3D printer, the voxeljet Concept is the benchmark machine to follow. In the explosive arena of start-ups that produce innovative 3D-printers, voxeljet has decided to challenge and change the direction of how 3D printers work. Taking a look at three specific factors that set this process apart from others on the market, it becomes quite clear just how revolutionary this concept is.
