As I’ve mentioned before, 3D printing is a great way to bring part of your favorite fandom to life. There are some people who are fans of the Stars Wars universe, while others are into Star Trek. Some people like Harry Potter, and others are fans of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Maybe your thing is superheroes and comic books, which then leads us to anime and manga, in neither of which I am well-versed. Because of this fact, I did not know until today that the best-selling manga and comic...
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.” WB Yeats. 15 years after the Hartz reforms made Germany a tougher and more resilient place in which to work and live, decades-long semi-austerity has left the motor...
Today Xometry’s Greg Paulsen is back and we geek out some more on 3D printing. We look at some anticipated trends in 3D printing for the next few years this time. Software is an integral part of the 3D printing experience and of getting the right parts made. Will we see more monitoring and control software in 3D printing? What new processes are we excited about? Are there new technologies coming to market at all? Which of these technologies excite us? What will the hurdles be and will they find adoption?...
With many of the newer technologies taking shape today, it’s difficult to quantify how they will affect the surrounding industries. The implications of 3D printing or additive manufacturing, for example, are more mysterious than those of say, advanced robotics. The latter will primarily be used to drive automation. 3D printing, on the other hand, is about locally produced goods or components. It’s a little more challenging to define what that means for the future of specific fields. How will it...
In the recently published ‘3D Printed Pasta – Are There Limits to the Benefits of 3D Printing in the Food Sector?’ Tom M., a student at Harvard Business School, outlines many interesting features about the potential for using new ways of manufacturing to create food. And while most of us get pretty enthusiastic about 3D printed food simply due to an ongoing appetite both for interesting new technology and well, quite simply, the idea of snacks—there is still the question of whether such processes...
Building Playing with Legos allows people to realize the beauty of starting small. I like Legos. I had a bunch of them as a kid. I particularly remember the instructions and guides they give individuals for building sets. I always appreciated the guides, but I usually would try to create ridiculous structures based on my own imagination. I guess I haven’t changed much. The major takeaway from Legos though is that we build from basics. Modeling in 3D is difficult. For a while, it intimidated me...
